TIP: The fastest way to sew all eight candy corn units together is by “chain piecing,” where you line all the units up and sew them together one after the other before cutting the threads.Ĥ. Lightweight thread is great for piecing because it does not add extra bulk in the seam allowances. I used 50-weight gray Aurifil cotton thread. The fabrics line up at the point where the 1/4″ seam is sewn, and not at the top. Note that the orange piece is slightly wider than the yellow center it on top of the yellow. Align the top of the yellow C units with the bottom of the orange B units, right sides together, and sew together with a 1/4″ seam. Piece the candy corn.

Cut out the pattern pieces. Print out the pattern page, and check to make sure that the sizes on your printout match the sizes on the pattern.

These days, I love decorating my home for Halloween, baking spooky goodies, and preparing to greet the trick-or-treaters in my witch’s hat. Halloween is also about community it’s a time to meet your neighbors and celebrate autumn’s bounty. It’s October! My favorite month, and my favorite holiday, Halloween!
