I came up with the original idea for these in October 2007,
and shared them here on Hummadeedledee.
I call them my 'Sweet Sweater Pumpkins'!

Textures from soft chenille to nubbly rough cotton.
I also love that they are no-sew, and that I made them from the arms of old sweaters -
and then I used the sweater bodies to cover some pillows. ;0)

Deb, this confirms what I have thought alkl along -- you ARE the cleverest woman on earth!!! I feel the urge to leap up and go make one NOW!!
Dazzled,

The pumpkins are so cute! I was planning to make a snowman out of old white sweaters for a Chistmas display. I don't know exactly how I'm going to do it but now after seeing your creations I have hope...

Your pumpkins are so delightful! I am wondering if you would mind if I showed them and put a link to your tutorial on my blog- I would love to share these with my blogging buddies as I haven't gotten around to making them yet (hoping for next week! :)
Please let me know and thank you for sharing this great idea!!
blessings to you!

I just love the pumpkins! Can't wait to get to the thrift store and find some sweaters!
thank you

I think I might be able to do this! I hope no one in my area reads this post before I can get to the thrift store. I would hate for the sweaters to all be sold before I can get there!
This was truly an adorable idea.
Mary, I heart you.
Thank you SO much for asking permission, and for including credit to me as the designer in your post on your blog. Not everyone does that, which is why I had to add the note at the beginning of the post. sigh.
soooo clever!
Thank you for sharing these little darlings...Yes, I can make them myself...I just haven't much extra time lately!
I LOVED YOUR SUGGESTION FOR THE CHANDY!
I have made somethng similiar with old fencing...sounds alot like what you decribed.
I will save this post and be back soon "Sew" that I can make some of your delightful little darlings!
Have a great weekened...donna

Hi sweet Deb!! These are so precious!!!!! I love that they are created from sweaters too....I wish I had a few of those angora sweaters that I used to have about 25 years ago...they'd make GORGEOUS pumpkins!!! I hope you're doing wonderful Deb ~ hugs and love, Dawn
