It’s day 2 of 13 days of Halloween Ornaments and today I have a trio of vintage inspired felt ornaments for you. I actually designed the pattern for these a few years ago. My daughter’s history teacher set up a Halloween tree in her classroom and I made a set of these for her tree. Download your free printable pattern for the pumpkin, cat and owl from Dropbox.
This set is made by hand sewing the pieces in layers. There’s some fussy cutting and lots of hand stitching but I always like to sew or have some other hand work while I relax and watch tv. I rewatched The Midnight Club while working on this tutorial and it got me thinking about how much I loved Christopher Pikes books as a teen. Since my kids are teens now, they don’t like to do a lot of trick-or-treating but we have a few small, wrapped gifts under the Halloween tree instead. They each have a Christopher Pike book under there this year, with the cool 90s cover art, of course. I secretly hope they become fans so we can collect all of them! Were you into spooky books as a kid?
For this tutorial, you’ll need:
the free pattern download
Black, Orange and white craft felt
Black orange and white thread
White and dark orange embroidery thread
Some string for the hangers
