Make one of these fun fall sewing projects to decorate or warm up your life. There’s so many great things to make!
I love fall so much. When I was younger Fall always made me think of going back to school so I didn’t really like it. Now that I’m older and not in school, I can fully appreciate the wonderful season that Fall is!
There are two birthdays in our family that come in the Fall, there are so many holidays to look forward to, I love making Halloween costumes, and I love all of the autumn activities and foods.
I put together a big list of fun sewing projects to make for Fall. Which one is your favorite?
Some of these projects are for decorating at home and some of these projects are for wearing to keep warm while enjoying the outdoors. Some of these projects are super useful in the kitchen, and some of these projects would be great for Thanksgiving!

What is a PDF sewing pattern?
A PDF pattern is a sewing pattern designed on the computer and organized so that it can be printed on several letter or A4 size pieces of paper.
I love using PDF sewing patterns because if the pattern gets ruined or if my children or I changed sizes, I can always print it again. It’ll never be destroyed since I have a digital version!
How do you use a PDF sewing pattern?
Open the PDF on a computer and click print. When printing make sure that the scaling is set to 100% or no scaling so that the pattern prints at the correct size. Learn how to use PDF sewing patterns.
