Ten fall-friendly items to make for your autumn wardrobe!
In Ohio, the fall is a great time to wear those light sweaters, cardigans, jeans, leggings, sweater dresses, and lightweight hoodies. The days are warm, but the nights cool off to almost chilly! I love jeans and a tee with a cute cardigan layered with a hoodie if needed. This time of year, thinking about the fall, makes me want to snuggle up for a haunted hayride and drink pumpkin drinks! But it’s the best time to wear those staple layering garments.
I searched high and low internet to find adorable yet straightforward patterns to start your fall/winter wardrobe!

I have looked for my favorites, new and older patterns, to pair a nice mix of clothing paired in different ways and dressed up or down depending on the fabric and accessories chosen!

A great pair of pants is perfect for the colder month; I love these Thurlow Trousers; I recently made a couple from denim from Imagine Gnats! The perfect pant!

I have more fabric to make a few more pairs; these will now be my go-to pattern for pants!
