20 Free Fall Sewing Patterns to help you sew a seasonal handmade wardrobe

This post originally featured 20 free patterns for a fall handmade wardrobe, but several of the patterns I had curated are no longer available for free, as SewMag has recently moved many of their patterns behind a paywall. I apologise if you arrived here expecting more options. As of now, I’ve updated the list to include 15 free patterns. I hope you find something you like.

Skirts

While these skirt patterns are suitable for warmer seasons, you can certainly add them to your fall wardrobe if you sew them with heavier fabrics like bouclé, wool, corduroy, denim, and others.
