There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who love Stitch Box Monthly and those who have not tried them yet.
I have tried them and today I'm so excited to show you what I received! And even better -- at the end of today's post we have a giveaway for a ~~FREE~~ Stitch Box for one lucky person! Trust me, you want to win this!
If you haven't heard of Stitch Box Monthly, the basic idea is that you subscribe to receive a box of sewing goodies (quality fabric, patterns, tools, notions, etc.) and then each month Katie at Stitch Box Monthly sends you a box full of glorious surprises! Each month is different and you can browse her website to see what she has sent out in recent months.
This is what the contents of my box looked like. So much good stuff in there! You may recognize the adorable Moda fabric from yesterday's blog post! There's even enough left to make a matching ruffle skirt for her doll.
On top of the polka dots you can see a paper pattern from CKC - Aubrey's, which is one of my favorites! (It even has a CKC pen included - the kids aren't stealing this one from me.) On the bottom left of the picture is a card with a code on the back to download a Yoga A-Line Skirt pattern from Jocole for free. (It has already been paid for.) Stitch Box includes patterns from all different companies. I can't wait to see who it is next month!
As for the little goodies on the bottom right, I tore right into them the moment I opened the box! First of all, there is a double-needle for knits that will help with the yoga skirt. Soon I will be doing a blog post to show how a double needle is used on a single-needle machine. It's great for adding a professional finish to knit clothing. The next tool is a dual turner and it works way better than other ones I've tried - plus the rounded end can be used to mark lines in the fabric. Love it. And last but not least - did you know that there are fabric markers that come with an eraser?!?! I didn't, but now I do and I use it every day.
Now obviously Stitch Box Monthly didn't make all these cool items but she did gather them up and send me some awesome stuff that I never would have thought to go shopping for. It's like Christmas every month!

I also love that Katie included this list in the box that shows exactly what I received. I didn't have to do any research to know how to use them. Whew!
