Autumn Leaves, Cozy Vibes

A few years ago, Joanne created these adorable leaf coasters for our blog. She brought the finished projects into the shop and shared them with our team. I thought they were so cute and clever that I hung my leaf near my sewing machine for inspiration as I learned to sew. Joanne used some beautiful fall batiks from our Java collection that year—a perfect choice! With so many lovely autumn colors and fabrics available, you’re sure to find the perfect fabric to coordinate with your home décor.

The best part? You can make as many leaves as you want—or just a few if time is tight. Imagine them on your side tables, perfectly ready to catch a wine glass and add a touch of autumn charm!
