Free Sewing Pattern – Fabric Mushrooms

Are you tired of your home decor being too “buttoned-up” and serious? Do you want to add a little bit of whimsy and humor to your space? Well, why not try making some fabric mushrooms!

This “Oh so sweet” project is not only adorable but also incredibly simple to make. Use your favorite whimsical fabrics to bring these colorful mushrooms to life and create your own fairy tale scene.

The Fabric Mushroom Trio project is surprisingly easy to make. With the right fabric choices, you can bring to life a whimsical and imaginative world of fun and color. These little mushrooms can be used for imaginative play, to decorate your home, or to give as thoughtful gifts.

If you make them for yourself, then imagine walking into your living room and seeing a little group of fabric mushrooms nestled on a shelf or scattered on a table. It’s sure to make you feel like you’ve entered a magical forest!

You’ll, of course, need a sewing machine, some fabric scraps, stuffing, and a few basic sewing tools. There are many different patterns and styles of fabric mushrooms, ranging from realistic to fantastical, so you can choose the one that best suits your vision.

In general, fabric mushrooms are made by sewing together two or more pieces of fabric in the shape of a mushroom cap, then stuffing them to create a plump, three-dimensional effect. The stem of the mushroom is often made by wrapping a cylinder of fabric around a stuffing-filled core, and may include additional decorative elements like spots or frills.

Whether you’re a fan of Alice in Wonderland or just love the idea of adding some fun and playfulness to your space, this tutorial is the free project for you. So, grab your fabric, and let’s get started!

Get ready to bring some magic and imagination into your crafting projects with the Fabric Mushroom Trio tutorial.

This project by Jennifer Long from Bee Sew Inspired, a talented fabric designer with Riley Blake Designs and an experienced doll and quilt pattern designer, is going to guide you through the process.

September is National Sewing Month, which means we finally have an official excuse for buying fabric for all those projects we are absolutely, definitely going to finish.

National Sewing Month has been celebrated every September since 1982, when President Ronald Reagan proclaimed it in recognition of the importance of home sewing. Today, it is a month for starting projects, learning new techniques, tackling unfinished quilts and appreciating just how useful a well-stocked sewing room can be.

Connecting Threads is celebrating throughout September with sales on quilting fabric, thread, precuts, kits and sewing supplies.

You can shop the National Sewing Month offers at Connecting Threads here.

Connecting Threads September 2026 Sale Calendar

August 27 to September 7: 20% Off Sitewide

Use code 8SALE26 to receive 20% off sitewide during the Labor Day Sale.

This is the best all-round offer if you need a mixture of fabric, thread, rulers, cutting tools, batting and notions. I would use this sale for the less exciting supplies we all need but tend to put off buying until the spool is empty or the rotary blade starts chewing rather than cutting.

Shop the Connecting Threads sale here.

September 8 to 11: Buy Two, Get One Free Thread

Use code 9THREAD26 to buy two eligible threads and receive a third free.

This is a good opportunity to stock up on everyday piecing colours such as cream, white, grey and beige. If you regularly quilt with the same neutral thread, buying three matching spools makes far more sense than collecting exciting colours that sit untouched because they match precisely one fabric in your stash.

September 12 to 15: 50% Off 50 Items

Fifty selected products will be reduced by 50%, with no code required.

Because this promotion applies to selected items, it is worth checking early. This could be a good time to pick up discounted patterns, fabric collections, notions or supplies for handmade Christmas gifts.

September 16 to 17: Free Shipping Days

Use code 9FREESHIPPING26 for free standard shipping within the contiguous United States.

Free shipping is particularly useful when you only need a few smaller supplies and do not want delivery costs to turn a perfectly sensible packet of needles into an unexpectedly extravagant purchase.

September 18 to 23: 25% Off Fabric by the Yard

All fabric by the yard will be reduced by 25%, including wide quilt backing. No code is required.

This is the promotion I would wait for if you need backing fabric. Wide backing can save an enormous amount of time because you do not have to piece multiple lengths together before basting your quilt.

It is also a good time to buy borders, binding or extra yardage from a favourite collection before individual prints sell out.

September 24 to 30: 30% Off Precuts and Quilt Kits

Precuts and quilt kits will be reduced by 30% during the final week of National Sewing Month.

This is probably the most tempting promotion of the month. Precuts remove much of the colour-matching guesswork, while quilt kits give you the pattern and coordinated fabric in one package.

If terms such as charm packs, layer cakes and strip rolls still become muddled somewhere between the computer and the cutting table, our guide to the five main types of precut quilting fabrics explains what each pack contains and which projects suit it best.

What Should You Buy During National Sewing Month?

The best bargain is not necessarily the biggest discount. It is the supply you were already planning to use.

Before shopping, check your sewing room for:

Everyday piecing thread
Rotary cutter blades
Sewing machine needles
Fabric needed to finish an existing quilt
Batting and wide quilt backing
Precuts for quick beginner quilt projects
Quilt kits you will genuinely start
Supplies for Christmas sewing and handmade gifts

I would also look at your unfinished projects before ordering more fabric. Sometimes a spool of matching thread and three yards of backing are all that stand between a quilt top and an actual finished quilt.

National Sewing Month is a lovely time to begin something new, but it is also a good opportunity to return to a forgotten project, clean your machine, replace that blunt needle and enjoy sewing simply because you can.
