You’ve eagerly awaited the beginning of fall. After all, this is the time of year when the leaves change into beautiful colors and days and nights become cooler. It’s also the time of year to celebrate several holidays. However, what happens when you’re at home on a chilly day with nothing to do? Check out these indoor hobbies.
Start a Sewing Project
Whether you haven’t sewn for some time or you want to learn, a cool fall day or evening is a perfect opportunity to start a project. First, select something that aligns with your sewing skills. Second, pick up the various supplies needed. Along with clothes, consider making something that ties in with the holidays, perhaps a Christmas tree skirt or Thanksgiving table runner.
Make a Stuffed Toy
Although anyone can enjoy this indoor hobby, it’s particularly great for parents and grandparents. That way, they will have a special gift for their child or grandchild when it is finished. Regardless, this isn’t a hobby that requires sewing. Although that’s one method, there are ways to make toys other ways. You can find all kinds of tutorials online that range from easy to difficult.
Draw or Paint
For some people, a chilly fall day inspires them to draw or paint. For others, it’s a chance to learn a new skill. However, you don’t need to be a Van Gogh to do either one. If you’ve never drawn or painted, start with basic supplies. Who knows, you might discover a new passion.
Enjoy Coloring
No, coloring books and crayons aren’t just for kids. Many adults find this hobby fun and relaxing. So, when you want something to do on a chilly fall day, grab a coloring book and colored pencils. After all, most people find this a relaxing hobby.
Restore a Piece of Furniture

Perhaps you want to reupholster a stool that your precious kitty scratched up. Maybe you found a cute dresser at a local thrift store that needs refinishing. There’s no better time than a chilly fall day to restore furniture.
Create Calligraphy Art
This is another hobby that you can refine or learn. With calligraphy, you can make something beautiful to frame and hang on the wall. As your skills improve, you can make special gifts for family and friends. In addition, you can use calligraphy to make beautiful greeting cards.
