Want to add some cozy texture to your fall decor? Give this simple fabric autumn leaf garland tutorial a try! This project from Polka Dot Chair is the perfect way to bring beautiful seasonal color indoors. Since it uses fabric scraps, it’s a fantastic way to use up those leftovers from your other autumn sewing makes.
To give your leaves a beautiful, sturdy shape, you’ll use fusible fleece or batting. The fun part is the decorating! You can add leaf veins using hand quilting or freehand machine drawing for a unique, artistic touch. Once all the leaves are decorated, sew a tight zigzag stitch around the raw edges to bind the layers together neatly. The design is super adaptable: just make extra leaves and use a longer ribbon to create a festive fabric leaf bunting for any size space.
