My sewing subscription box for August arrived today. It's a little on the pricy side, but I enjoy it. The Sewciety provides a pattern (paper or digital download, depending upon the month), fabric sufficient for any size to make that pattern, and all notions: thread, buttons, interfacing, whatever. They also include a helpful sewing thing, not a notion, but a thing, like the fabric marker shown here which magically disappears from the fabric when it's ironed. I love it!
Additionally, they include a couple of small cuts to make a "petite project" each month. Once, they sent materials and pattern for pot holders (which I made for my daughter-in-law), once it was a travel bag (which I gave to my granddaughter to hold her crayons), once it was a thread catcher...you get the idea. This month, it's materials for a small pennant, including fabrics and a wooden dowel, plus printed directions.
It's always fun to get the box; it's like a little surprise gift I gave to myself some time back. Sometimes I love the patterns, and a couple of times I've been indifferent or even disliked them, but I've always enjoyed them nonetheless. August's project probably won't get made until September - things with grandchildren planned for the next 2 weekends - but who can't use a pretty gray top?
