This pumpkin treat bag is an easy first sewing project for kids that only requires a running stitch<\/a> to complete. If you want to make the project even quicker then just get your kids to glue the features on.<\/p>\n

When I was little I was always intrigued by Halloween. The idea of kids dressing up and knocking on doors, saying ‘trick or treat’ and receiving a bag of sweets seemed …well, like a child’s dream come true! Unfortunately, I lived in Australia so Halloween only happened in that far away land called America.<\/p>\n

I loved reading \u00a0Charlie Brown comics and I remember how Linus…I think it was Linus…would wait in the pumpkin patch all night for the Great Pumpkin to arrive…I don’t think the Great Pumpkin ever came…in any case, in honour of the Great Pumpkin I’ve made this simple to sew Great Pumpkin trick or treat bag.<\/p>\n

Use the handle template to cut out two handle shapes from green felt. Use the black felt to make the eyes, nose and mouth.<\/p>\n
