Pumpkin Table Set | Autumn Thanksgiving Sewing Pattern

Set an autumnal table with Debbie Shore's pumpkin table runner and placemat set pattern.

Sew a festive autumn table with our pumpkin table runner and placemat set sewing pattern, perfect for adding charm to your fall décor collection or Thanksgiving dinner. I’ve made four placemats, so you’ll need extra fabric if you wish to make more. Reds, oranges and browns work well at this time of year and a black border just makes the colours pop!

I’ve used 2½in (6.5cm) wide fabric strips for the patchwork pumpkins, cut from seven different fabrics, but this is an opportunity to use up leftovers in your stash, if you have any, so you can select a greater variety fabrics or even make use of fabrics from Jelly Rolls in suitable colours.

Table runner finished size: 27 x 54in (68.5 x 137cm)

Placemats finished size: 12 x 8in (30 x 20cm) not including stalks

Note: Use a ¼in (5mm) seam allowance unless otherwise stated.
