Drew this one up as a two-colour autumn piece that keeps the pumpkin recognisable without filling it completely, you can see the ribs in the satin outline but the body stays light. The leaves above sit separately, theyre not attached to the stem, which lets each element read on its own if you zoom in. Its the kind of design where the simplicity is doing the actual work.
2 colours, dark green for the leaves and rust orange for the pumpkin body. 5 sizes from 2.6 inches up to 6 inches wide, stitch range 5,504 at the smallest up to 13,344 at the largest. 1 colour change, 2 stops, 27 trims. Quick run. I ran this through industry software so the satin columns on the pumpkin ribs are directional which gives the outline a slightly curved look that matches the gourd shape. Use cutaway stabiliser on knit base fabrics, a firm tearaway is fine on woven cotton or canvas.
I get questions about this one from people making autumn table runners, halloween lead-up items, and fall-themed tote bags. A customer this past September wanted the smallest size on a set of burlap treat bags for a halloween party and it worked perfectly, the outline style reads well on open-weave burlap without needing topping. Hoop the 5-in build on a kraft-coloured heavy cotton tea towel in those same 2 colours for a seasonal kitchen display that actually looks intentional.
Pop it on a dark denim apron at the 4-inch size and the rust orange satin hits hard against the indigo. Add a water-soluble topping on any raised-nap fabric. Skip tearaway on anything with stretch. September through November is obviously when this one gets hooped the most.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Autumn table runner and seasonal kitchen linensThe 5-inch version centred on a kraft-coloured cotton table runner in rust orange and forest green thread is one of the cleanest autumn kitchen setups I know of.
- Halloween party treat bags and favour pouchesBurlap treat bags for halloween parties work well with the 3-inch version, the outline style doesnt need topping on burlap and reads clearly at that size.
- Fall-themed tote bags and canvas shoppersCanvas tote bags for farmers markets and autumn events use the 4-inch version, the two-colour design is quick to hoop and keeps production time low for sellers making multiples.
- Dark denim apron front pocket embellishmentDark denim aprons with the 4-inch pumpkin on the front bib in rust orange poly thread are a popular September craft fair item that keeps selling through October.
- Seasonal throw pillow covers in autumn coloursThrow pillow covers in cream or oatmeal linen with the 5-inch design in autumn thread colours work as a seasonal swap that comes out each year from late September.
- Pumpkin patch and harvest event vendor merchandiseHarvest market vendors who make and sell at craft fairs use this on drawstring bags and small pouches as a repeating seasonal product.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
