Fasten off and leave an extremely long tail for sewing. Sew hole closed. Thread through
bottom of pumpkin to the top and pull tightly.
*You do not have to do this next step if you'd prefer to have a more cartoon like pumpkin rather than a realistic one.* Wrap thread around the side of the pumpkin and back through the bottom to the top 6 times evenly spaced to give the pumpkin a proper shape. The tighter you pull the more defined the pumpkin will be.
Fasten off and weave in end.
