Celebrate autumn with a monogram pumpkin fall door hanger! This easy DIY project adds a warm, inviting touch to your front door or entryway. Use the free sewing pattern to create one for your home—or make a few as thoughtful seasonal gifts!
You know it’s fall when pumpkins start popping up everywhere. With their rich colors and classic charm, they bring instant autumn vibes to any space.
So when I thought about a fall door hanger, of course I had to have a pumpkin. And a monogram to personalize it!
I’ve got a free sewing pattern for you below.
This small banner door hanger packs a lot of punch, with a simple pumpkin design and a bold monogram right in the center.
Hang it on your front door or in your entry way for a cozy welcome to your home!
I chose a palette of solid fabrics in rich autumn shades—pumpkin orange, earthy greens, warm browns, and a deep brown-black—to make the design stand out from the soft beige background.
The free pattern includes all 26 letters for monograms.
Finished dimensions (without hanger) are approximately 15” wide x 16” tall.

RST = Right Sides Together
Prep
Follow manufacturer’s instructions to fuse the fusible webbing to the back of one of the Door Hanger Background / Lining pieces. This piece will be the Door Hanger Background. (The one without the fusible webbing will be the Lining.)
Trace the Pumpkin, Stem, Leaves shapes on to the back of your fusible webbing. The shapes are already reversed for you.
Find the letter for your monogram and trace that to the back of the fusible webbing. The letters are already reversed for you.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions to fuse the traced shapes and monogram to the bainck of the fabrics, then cut out.
Drill holes or cut notches near both ends of the dowel.
Sew the Pumpkin Design
Place the Pumpkin piece on the right side of the Background, centered horizontally and with the bottom of the Pumpkin approximately 3 ½” from the bottom of the Background. The sides of the Pumpkin will be approximately 2 1/8” from the sides of the Background.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions to fuse the Pumpkin down to the Background.
Top stitch around the edges of the Pumpkin to secure.
Place the Stem on the Pumpkin, centered horizontally and approximately ½” – ¾” from the top of the Pumpkin. Fuse in place, then top stitch to secure.
Arrange the Leaves around the base of the Stem, Fuse in place, then top stitch to secure.
Now place the monogram letter on the Pumpkin, centered horizontally and vertically. Fuse in place, then top stitch to secure.
Assemble the Door Hanger
Place the Background and Lining pieces RST. Sew around all sides with ½” seam allowance, leaving 4” open at the top.
Clip corners and curves.
Turn the Door Hanger right side through that hole in the top.
Press the raw edges at the turning hole to the inside so to be even with the sewn edges.
Top stitch around all sides with 1/8” seam allowance. This will close the turning hole.
Fold the top edge 2” over to the back. Stitch across the bottom of the fabric you folded over to create a casing.
Thread the dowel through the casing. Thread the cord through the holes then knot, to create the hanger.
Your Monogram Pumpkin Fall Door Hanger is finished!
