When the air turns crisp and the leaves start to crunch under your feet, it’s the perfect time to cozy up with flannel. Fall just calls for all things warm and snuggly, and flannel fabric is at the top of that list. Whether you’re thinking about a quilt for the couch, a throw to keep you warm by the campfire, or even a set of soft pillows to swap out for the season, flannel is the ideal choice. There’s just something about its softness that makes everything feel a little more inviting.
How cute and cozy is this flannel fabric? It just screams fall! It is sooo soft! You can find it here.
One collection that feels tailor-made for fall adventures is Living the Dream Flannel by Dan DiPaolo for Clothworks. With its camping-inspired prints, fun plaids, cheerful stars, and textured blenders, this line captures all the best parts of crisp autumn evenings outdoors. Imagine wrapping up in a quilt made from these fabrics while watching the sunset or using a campfire-inspired throw to add rustic charm to your living room. The possibilities are as endless as your fall bucket list.
The best part of sewing with flannel is how instantly cozy the finished project feels. Unlike other fabrics that may need a bit of breaking in, flannel has that soft, worn-in comfort from the very first stitch. It’s a wonderful choice for quilts, but don’t stop there—think about pajama pants, pillow shams, table runners, or even reusable hand warmers. Anything you make with flannel instantly feels special, like a handmade hug.
So, if you’ve been itching to start a new project this season, flannel might just be calling your name. The Living the Dream collection is not only fun and beautiful, but it’s also versatile enough to bring your coziest ideas to life. Gather your favorite prints, start stitching, and before you know it, you’ll have a project that warms both your home and your heart this fall.
