12 Winter Sewing Projects That'll Keep You Warm and Cozy

When a chill hits the air, bundle up in these cold weather accessories. Personalize a hat, mittens, or scarf—or a set of all three—with a few simple stitches and alot of heartfelt sentiment. It's as easy as sewing pom-poms, buttons, or a heart over the existing knit pattern.

New year, new you—right? That also means new projects to tackle. To help you in your creative endeavors, sew a storage bin for crafts supplies, little toys, and anything else that needs a tidy home.

Turn heads with a hat that shimmers and shines with a few mixed metallics—appliques and embroidered patches in a variety of gray hues. 

Inspired by moccasins, each of these slip-ons is constructed from a single piece of felt, available in an array of colors.

Looking to add a little glimmer to that lusterless winter wardrobe? A pair of beaded appliques—attached with needle and thread—on either shoulder puts her panache on perfect display.

Ready to try your first quilting project? This warm idea is ideal for the winter months: the tassel-like ties hold the quilt together in lieu of stitches and they add a homespun charm.
