Technicolour leaves, warm knits, flavoured coffees and rich baked goods: autumn is here! There’s so much on offer this time of the year and we’re definitely reaping the benefits with a selection of seasonal craft ideas. A post-crafting pumpkin spiced latte is definitely on the cards!

1 Rusty The Squirrel

This cute critter is knitted with a big, fluffy tail and also comes with a bonus acorn pattern. If you want to make this for a child but worry about the acorn getting lost, you could always sew it to one hand.

2 Patchwork Fruit

Capture the fruits of the season with stitched apples and pears! These are great to use up pieces from your fabric stash.

Sizzix Thinlits dies have been used to create this sweet duo by Debi Potter. You can find the instructions on how to make both here.

5 Cosy Quilt

With the chilly season approaching, you need a stylish blanket to adorn your bed or to keep you cosy on the sofa. Our patchwork pony quilt certainly fits the bill.
