AUTUMN IS IN THE AIR

With the days getting shorter and schools getting ready to start a new semester, the hot days of summer are FINALLY giving way to the cool air of autumn! These fresh, crisp days where the air is chilled on sunny days bring to mind all shades of oranges and browns. 

To celebrate all things autumn, here are some ideas for the sewing enthusiast from Marshall Dry Goods to help you enjoy the upcoming new season!

PILLOWS

Now is the perfect time to accent your couches and chairs with pillows to match the season! There are many fabric options to choose from at Marshalls to give you the exact look and feel you desire. From wool to cotton, your next pillow is sure to bring the touch of autumn to your front porch or bedroom! 

PIN CUSHIONS

Expand your pin cushion collection with a touch of fall color! Mix it up from the traditional round cushion to something square or rectangle. Pin cushions are also fun projects to involve your children who are up and coming sewing enthusiasts! These cushions are small and have plenty of room for creativity. As is the case with any project that involves children, adult supervision is a must. This will help them learn the basics, as well as serve as a safety measure during the process. One idea is to have them color their intended design, and explore ways to transfer their design to the pin cushion!

POT HOLDERS

Most households tend to use the same potholders year round. Why not mix it up with something to match the autumn season? Above is an example of a potholder made to look like a slice of a tree. There are several patterns available online to sew leaves, pumpkins and other fall designs for the table! 

NAPKINS

Speaking of the table, napkins are an easy way to bring color to your dining room or breakfast nook! Fall design ideas include simple, light colored fabrics with various autumn colors and outdoor designs sewn into the cloth. For even more simple napkins, consider only sewing fall-colored lines into the fabric. Simple, yet effective.
