31 Halloween Sewing Projects • Heather Handmade

Get inspired for everything spooky and scary with these Halloween sewing projects. These fun projects use cute fabric and lots have free sewing patterns.

I love Halloween so much. My birthday is during October, so all the Halloween decorations and costumes feel extra special. Making costumes every Halloween is one of my favorite parts of the year.

My goal is to make things that are both cute and spooky. I don’t like anything too scary or creepy, but I find it really enjoyable to decorate for holidays. My kids get so excited for the upcoming holiday.

I put together a big list of fun sewing projects to make for Halloween. Which one is your favorite?

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.
