Pumkitty pie pattern

 

Pumpkin season is officially here! I always relate October with pumpkins and cozy weather. Being from a tropical region, we don't get to witness much of autumn in it's full glory. But we do enjoy the slight drop in temperature which is very hot and humid otherwise. Here's a cute little Pumkitty pie pattern for you guys to make this season more delightful.

• Stuff the kitty head and attach it to the centre of the pie. Add a little more stuffing before closing if needed. 

• Sew the ears around the end of R2 of kitty head on both sides. 
• Attach the arms where the kitty head meets the pie.
