Halloween Craft

Halloween is just around the corner, so we thought it was the perfect time to get crafty. We want to dress up here at work, but don't really like a lot of the Halloween shirts that are out there. After a little bit of brainstorming, Pinterest-ing, and fabric shopping, here's what we came up with!
We decided to sew a pumpkin onto a sweatshirt. First, we found a black crew neck sweatshirt at Wal Mart. (We ended up cutting the neck so the sweatshirt drapes off the shoulder, but we didn't get a picture of that). And found the fabric we wanted to use on the pumpkin. 
Next, we cut out 3 ovals for the pumpkin, a stem, and a leaf. 
Then we laid everything out on the sweatshirt just how we wanted it, and pinned it... a lot!!
And finally we sewed everything into place using a zig zag stitch in coordinating threads!

This project was so fun and easy... we definitely recommend making a Halloween sweatshirt of your own!
