Halloween Pumpkin Scene Embroidery Design, Instant Download

One fat pumpkin shape, hollowed out, packed with a tiny halloween yard inside. Middle of the belly sits a grin faced lantern with three teeth, classic triangle peepers, and a crooked nose thats more cheeky than menacing. Just above the lantern head, a pair of stubby winged creatures glide. Below the lantern, picket boards line up shoulder to shoulder along the bottom edge. Twisted bare branches climb either flank like crooked window frames, giving the whole composition a natural border feel. Single thread, single colour, base fabric punches through every gap.

Came up with this for my cousin Kelly who runs an october booth at the saturday craft market downtown. She wanted a quick stitch piece, no thread swaps, something shed whip onto tote blanks in maybe four minutes between customers. Once it was up on her etsy too, orders rolled in pretty steady. One school mum messaged me about her halloween class party, said she ran off ten samples for the kids gift bags and her sons teacher snagged one too.

Now since the design leans on negative space inside the silhouette, youre choice of fabric carries alot of weight. Burnt orange canvas paired with black thread and the lantern face flares up under porch lighting. Flip it round, run white thread on black fleece, ya get a ghosty inverted scene thats real striking after dark. Steer clear of any printed cloth or busy check. Branch detail vanishes inside pattern noise faster than youd think.

Stitches run 5858 at the 2 inch end up to 18546 at the 5.43 inch end, five sizes baked in. Big sizes carry alot of bridges where wing tips meet shell, so grab a firm cutaway under the hoop, dont swap in tearaway here. Hoop snug. Fleece or minky needs a sheet of water soluble mesh topping laid across before sewdown. Drop the speed near the picket section as well, them slim boards can pull sideways when the head jumps fast.

Stitch the small size onto a toddler bib pocket. Or drop it on a baby beanie if your hooping up an october shower gift. Mid sizes land proper sharp on cotton tote bags and oversized hoodies. Largest covers a porch pillow face on rust orange duck cloth, its hard to top that combo. Ping my inbox if the file refuses to open on your machine or the wings stitch out lookin smooshed.
