Little Fabric Shop has created a lovely list of easy sewing projects that are quick to make and add seasonal joy to your home.

Free Fall & Halloween Tutorials
These fun sewing tutorials are from some of our favorite designers and blogs. They are all quick to create and beginner sewing skills are all you need. Let’s get in the spirit of the season and start sewing!
Fabric Apples
Get ready to sew up a storm with these scrap-friendly, button-accented cuties that add a touch of charm to any room! These Fabric Apples from the Craft Ideas blog are perfect for gifting to teachers (or anyone who loves a good apple). Use with red, yellow, or green fabric to create these adorable apples.
Ghoster Coaster
Serious cuteness here! The Ghoster Coaster from the A Spoonful of Sugar blog uses low-volume fabric. What is low-volume fabric? It is a light-toned, printed fabric. While not solid, they are great for backgrounds when sewing. Here are a few we love in the shop – Scrawl Rant Murmur by Giucy Giuce, Be Positive Afterglow Neon Pigment from Cotton + Steel Basics, and Wildflower Scatter Daisy by Alison Glass.
Fabric Autumn Leaf Garland
Spice up your Fall and Autumn design with this Leaf Garland from one of our favorite blogs – Polka Dot Chair. This beautiful decoration adds a fun touch of texture and pattern. We love the Sanctuary fabric collection by Tilda Fabrics for this sewing pattern. It is a perfect project to mix and match with your other Autumn sewing creations.
Fabric Pumpkins
You will not be able to stop at just one! The Easy Fabric Pumpkin Tutorial is designed by Molly Kohler of Lovely Threads Machine Quilting. This tutorial uses both a simple straight stitch on your sewing machine and a little hand-sewing at the end. Just add cute cotton fabric, fiber fill, and a small stick and you are good to go!
Color Block Candy Corn Pillows
It is not Halloween without Candy Corn! These handmade Candy Corn Pillows are from the Positively Splendid blog. With their fall-friendly color block design in shades of orange, white, and yellow, they are an ideal project for novice stitchers. They add a touch of playful charm to any autumn decor and can even be used after Halloween is over!
Fabric Napkin Bread Warmer
Is there anything better than fresh hot dinner rolls, straight out of the oven? They are simply irresistible! The Fabric Napkin Bread Warmer pattern from the Tried & True Creative blog is a simple pattern for making vintage bread napkins. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
