HAVE FUN THIS FALL CREATING DECOR PROJECTS.

It’s time to put our gardens to bed and start thinking about sewing fulltime again. I was looking around for inspiration for new table décor ideas for Fall, Halloween and the Holiday season and was delighted to find so many quick and easy projects on the web.

Fabric and quilt shops also have many project patterns for the Fall season. Fall and Winter motifs are fun and easy and can be used in projects such as quilts, wall hangings, banners, table décor and home décor.


Sewing allows us to create personal, unique projects that can last a season or a lifetime. Raid your fabric stash and have fun creating new décor and crafts this Fall.

TIP OF THE MONTH

Making a table cloth and napkins is super quick if you use a serger because you hem and finish at the same time, usually at a faster speed than a sewing machine.

To finish the corner, serge off the end of the fabric by making a chain, turn the fabric and serge the next side by cutting and sewing in the chain from the other side.
