It's our favourite time of year! There's nothing we love more than getting stuck into some spooky Halloween sewing patterns in the autumn while watching a movie (Hocus Pocus, anyone?).
You could even team up with a friend for a cosy crafting session. There are so many brilliant Halloween sewing projects out there to choose from, ranging from creepy bat garlands to spooktacular quilt designs and seasonal embroidery hoops.
We've included plenty of free sewing patterns to suit beginners as well as some paid patterns for more experienced crafters.
Some of them are suitable for older children to try with adult supervision – it would be a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon and create memories together.
Read on to discover our favourite Halloween sewing patterns to make this autumn…
