From Fall home decor projects to napkins, to pillow here are more than 25 cute things to sew for Thanksgiving and Fall.
I love Thanksgiving, I always feel bad that it gets stuck in between two large Holidays. Apparently it’s the middle child of Fall celebrations.
Each year I try to make an effort to celebrate Thanksgiving on a personal level, but also make sure that it is celebrated in my home.
Thanksgiving Sewing Projects
I love to craft and sew if you do too, then you might like some of these projects that are perfect for quick and easy sewing for Fall or Thanksgiving.
Fall & Thanksgiving Home Decor Sewing Projects:
1- Thanksgiving Advent Calendar @ Polka Dot Chair. I know that the term Advent is reserved specifically for the Christmas Holidays. But I took a bit of artistic license and created the 12 days of Thanksgiving. Each day leading up to Thanksgiving featured a unique activity to build gratitude. You can find the tutorial for the countdown calendar and the Thanksgiving activity ideas all in the post.
2- Candy Corn Pillows @ Positively Splendid. Who says that candy corn is just for Halloween? Add a bit of festive spirit to your living room with these cute Candy Corn Pillows.
3- Pumpkin Pillow @ Ameroonie Designs. This pumpkin pillow is cute and oh so simple to make. It uses a bit of felt and chenille to give it texture.
4- Molly’s Tote @ Purl Bee. This might have been designed as a Trick or Treat tote but it’s just too cute to use for Halloween. It would be lovely on a table filled with apples for Thanksgiving.
