12 Chic Sewing Projects for Fall and Winter
Fall is here and winter is coming.
I always think that finding clothes that fits perfectly can be difficult to find. I’d prefer finding a needle in a haystack, if you ask me!
Since I’ve always a fan of sewing, today I want to share with you these 12 gorgeous sewing projects that you can try for Fall or Winter.
Being a summer girl, I always dread the coming of winter. I would pile up a couple of clothes to keep me warm and most of the time it does not look stylish (yep, that’s me).
I don’t know about you but as I’m getting older, I do realize that my style changed from trend follower to keep it simple and modest.
When I was in my twenties, I could buy all the clothes that are trendy but nowadays I don’t know if I can fit into it, especially when I’m purchasing online
You can search for clothes endlessly at Macy’s but you will never find a style or size that suits you (been there, done that!).
So, why not try sewing your own clothes? And finally find the Holy Grail: Be able to wear stuff that you actually like and suits you!
Below are the 12 beautiful sewing projects that are simple and can be used for Fall and Winter
Or you can also use them every other day, which is why I call it chic (for all occasions).
#1 Plaid Flannel Fall Tote Bag
It seems like plaid flannel is always trendy during the Fall season.
What about starting with sewing this trendy plaid flannel tote bag with faux leather, for a modern and classic look this Fall.
Courtesy of Anne, this project is totally worth it.
#2 Simple Stripe dress
My next sewing project is a DIY simple stripe dress, that is easy to make.
It is a perfect starting project for the sewing newbie.
The dress can be combined with leggings or jeans and a jean jacket will compliment everything nicely.
#3 Button front midi skirt
Okay, I know you will scream in disbelief that this skirt is for Summer (based on the blog post)!
But bear with me… You can make it with thicker fabric with a red and black checkered pattern and combine it with a stocking and voila! You get yourself a cute skirt for work or hangout.
#4 Cowl Neck Top
If you’re looking for a gorgeous looking top, check out this sewing project from Jamie.
This cowl neck top is lovely and it can be worn on or off the shoulder, depending on your mood.

This Sapporo coat is stunning with its cocoon silhouette and angled seaming.
Since it is cold, you can opt for the heavy wool to keep you warm.

A good use for me is to let me go away with my sewing machine and come back with some really new stuff. – Betsey Johnson
