As the leaves begin to turn and the days become shorter, it’s the perfect time to dive into some new sewing projects. Autumn brings with it a rich palette of colours and textures, making it an ideal season for creating cosy and stylish pieces. So, whether you’re an experienced sewer or just starting out, here are 3 autumn sewing pattern ideas that are both practical and in keeping with the change in season.
1. Leaf Embroidered Cushion Cover
Embrace the beauty of autumn by adding a touch of nature to your home decor with a leaf embroidered cushion cover. This project is perfect for those who enjoy a bit of detailed work and want to bring the colours of the season indoors.
Start with a simple cushion cover pattern and embellish it with an embroidered leaf design. There are plenty online for you to download! You can choose to stitch a single large leaf or a scattering of smaller ones across the cover. The choice is yours! To make it really autumnal, why not use rich thread colours like deep reds, oranges, and golds against a neutral background? This sewing pattern idea not only adds warmth to your living space but also allows you to practice and showcase your embroidery skills.
2. Patterned Scarf Sewing Pattern
Autumn is an ideal time to start working on accessories that will keep you warm as winter approaches. A patterned scarf is an easy yet satisfying project. For beginners, or those looking for a quick project, choose a pattern that includes a basic stitch. You can also experiment with different yarn weights and colours to create a scarf that’s uniquely yours. What’s more, scarves make great gifts as the holiday season approaches.
3. Table Runner Sewing Pattern
As the season changes, so does the decor in many homes. A quilted table runner is an excellent way to bring the warmth of autumn indoors. This idea for a sewing pattern is perfect for using up fabric scraps or experimenting with autumnal prints and colours. Beginners may benefit from choosing a pattern that includes straightforward instructions for beginners, but more advanced sewers may enjoy getting stuck into more complex designs. No matter what you chose, your new runner is sure to be the focal point of your table.
