Get ready for the cold with all of these warm, winter sewing projects. Keep the cold at bay with all this inspiration for your next project.

I live in an area where I get four distinct seasons, and our winter is usually pretty cold. We can still enjoy playing outside in the snow, but we have to be prepared for cold weather.

Besides making sewing projects that’ll keep me warm while I’m outside, I love making things to help me stay warm inside with the coziest fabrics. Get inspired for your next winter sewing project with this big list. What will you make next?

Some these projects are large like blankets and chairs, and they require a lot of fabric. Some of these projects are small, and use your scraps of fabric and fusible fleece to add warmth. Some of these are upcycling projects so that you can reuse your sweaters and felted wool to make something great.

What fabrics work well for winter sewing projects?

For cold weather sewing projects you will want fabrics that are warm and can hold in the heat. Some fabrics to use are fleece, wool, felt, sweaters, flannel, and canvas. You can also use cotton, but I usually add fusible fleece or batting to the cotton to give it an extra layer.

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.
