I’ve always wanted to try a monthly sewing box. I love sewing but sometimes I don’t have the time or patience to go shopping for fabric, find the perfect pattern, and then sew it up.
ThreadCrate is a sewing subscription box that takes care of those first two tasks for you — hand selecting a pattern and gathering all the fabric and notions you need to complete a garment sewing project. ThreadCrate delivers everything to your door so that all you have to do is sew the project when it arrives! Plus, you get a bunch of other awesome sewing goodies along with it.
Disclaimer: I received the November crate free of charge. However, all the opinions in this post are my own. I hope you give ThreadCrate a try!
ThreadCrate is the first sewing subscription box I have ever tried. I expected to receive a pattern, fabric, and notions, but I can’t believe how many extras were included in this crate! For under $60 per month, I think ThreadCrate is definitely worth the money!
Check out some pictures from my unboxing:
The pattern this month is the Women’s Fae Cardigan from Made for Mermaids. I’m excited to sew it! The cardigan is definitely something I would wear. It has four sleeve options and three length options. I think I’ll make it with lantern sleeves in a tunic length with pockets. I do wish the pattern was already printed for me, but it’s not a biggie. ThreadCrate included a free download code for the pattern. All you have to do is print it at home or take the file to a copy shop to get it printed. Without this subscription box, the pattern alone costs $10.
I’m impressed with the fabric choice. I’m not sure I could have picked out something better on my own. It is a Hacci Sweater Knit Fabric that is super soft with a 4-way stretch. It’s going to be super comfortable. I also appreciate how ThreadCrate wrapped the fabric separately in plastic for protection during shipping.
I received 3 yards of the dark purple fabric (Yay! My favorite!) and a dark turquoise color cut to show my readers some of the options you get in the box. Thank you ThreadCrate for your generosity! After the crates ship each month, ThreadCrate sells any extra fabric on their website. You can go check it out if you missed out on this month’s crate or you want more fabric to sew something else.
Along with the pattern and fabric, this sewing subscription box came with matching Guterrman thread and a Schmetz ballpoint needle to complete the project. However, I cannot believe everything else that was included!
Take a look at all the extras that came in this monthly sewing box:
- Thread snips
- Donut pattern weight (You get a new one to add to your collection every month!)
- Facemask with ThreadCrate logo
- Sew Hot iron rest
- That Purple Thang
- Sewing-themed zipper pouch
- 5 sewing clips
- Dritz measuring tape
- 2 silicone bobbin clamps
- Fabric swatch cards
- USB sewing machine flash drive
I’ve seen That Purple Thang before, but for some reason I’ve never bought one. It’s a cool sewing tool to help you push, pull, and poke fabric where you need it. If you don’t have one, I suggest you get one to add to your sewing kit. The zipper pouch is also nice because it’s the perfect size for storing your sewing clips. Of course, you can put anything else in it if you prefer.
I was also impressed with the Sew Hot iron rest as an extra! My iron came with a stand, but it will be nice to have another safe place to set my iron down when I’m not using it. The sewing machine flash drive is also so cute. I’m going to load up my patterns on it.
If you’re wondering if ThreadCrate is worth the money, I say definitely!
You get so much stuff that it makes me wonder if ThreadCrate is making much of a profit at all. It costs about $60 per month if you buy each crate separately, but you get a discount for a three month or six month subscription.
If you’re still on the fence, ThreadCrate has generously offered to give my readers an additional 10% off their subscription. Simply click this link and use the code “Society10” at checkout. I hope you have as much fun as me with this monthly sewing box!
Stay tuned, I’m going to show off this sewing project when I am done sewing it. If you have never tried a sewing subscription box before, I suggest you try ThreadCrate! I’m still in shock at how amazing it is and the value you get for your money.

Here’s an update with December’s ThreadCrate Unboxing: https://sewingsociety.com/threadcrate-unboxing-what-do-you-get-each-month/
seeing as they abruptly went out of business and promised refunds that I can’t seem to see that anyone has received. This is not a good company. I was left with 3 boxes left on a six month subscription. No refund. Multiple emails have gone unanswered. At this point I have no expectation of a refund.
Same here. Promised refunds or fabric and I don’t have either. And she waited just long enough that no one could file anything with PayPal or their credit cards.
Same. I emailed but never heard back. Thanks for commenting. I now know I’m not the only one.
