And! again, instead of finding inspiration on the high street, we have gathered some of the versions from the amazing team of CocoWawa testers! (send us an email to hi@cocowawacrafts.com if you want to become one next time) so that you get an idea of how all the versions look.
Ready? Let's start!
Pumpkin samples made by testers
The lovely Kathy has made a beautiful cardi dress version with long sleeves, cuffs and regular waistband using a beautiful flowery jersey and contrast bands.
Now, for a cardigan one! Irene has made a super cool baseball inspired version with welt pockets, contrast fabric and snaps!
Another lovely cardigan was made by lovely Emma in a perfect black jersey and colourful button snaps (perfect if you fear buttonholes :) )!
The beautiful Chantelle has opted for a long sleeve version of the dress in this oh, so pretty! polka dot jersey :) And! she has also stitched the perfect bound pockets (you can also opt for inseam).
The awesome Emily opted for a stripy cardigan version perfect for layering and to throw onto t-shirts and a pair of years.
The lovely Wendy went for another version with stripes and a mustard contrasting band. Love the detail of the colourful snaps!
Elisa is a great Spanish seamstress and she tested the lower scoop neck version of Pumpkin in this super interesting fabric. Very floaty and comfy!
Ella's version is just the cutest! I love the contrast between the stripes and the flowers of the bands. She chose long sleeves and a ruffle waistband.
I always love Akram pics so much! She is always fun and positive :) Here she is wearing a dress version without sleeves in this burnt orange jersey that I need to get for myself!
Laura from Cotton Reel Studio has made a great version in navy that will work so well in her wardrobe! You can see how she has also paired Pumpkin with jeans and it works so well!
I absolutely love Bàrbara's version of the Pumpkin Cardigan in this super pretty jersey and! with added cuffs and waistband in contrasting material. And look at those pockets!
When I saw Meredith's version I thought (apart from wow!), this could work for Spring and Summer as well! Go for a lighter jersey and voilà!
Rachel and Nikki, the Stitch Sisters, have made the coolest versions! Look at these two amazing Pumpkin dresses that scream 60s and Mods! all over. I absolutely love them!
And last we have the lovely Laura wearing a dress version as a long cardigan! I love how it looks with leggings and a blouse.
