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 Autumn 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.
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 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.
