25 Cute Things to Sew for Thanksgiving & Fall

From Fall home decor projects to napkins to pillows, here are more than 25 cute things to sew for Thanksgiving and Fall.

I love Thanksgiving, but I always feel bad that it gets stuck in between two large Holidays. Apparently, it’s the middle child of Autumn celebrations.

Each year, I try to make an effort to celebrate Thanksgiving on a personal level, but I also make sure that it is celebrated in my home.
