Fall Trends + DIY Alternatives

I’m pretty excited to get sewing a few fall trends. Of course, when I’m sewing I try to make classic pieces that will last for years. But I have seen a few fall trends that I hope stick around for a long time…..

A Few Trends

1. Ruffle Sleeve: These seem to be everywhere and I love them!
2. Reconstructed Denim
3. Pink!
4. Plaid (of course!), but I promise I have proof for this from the runway
5. Jumpers: Sometimes I take a summer dress and put a white collared shirt under it, so maybe I’m ahead of the trend?
