SwatchBox Review

March SwatchBox Review

SwatchBox ~ Facebook ~ Pinterest

A surprise selection of three beautiful and coordinating fat quarters plus a matching spool of thread delivered to my mailbox each month?  Yes, please!

SwatchBox is a monthly subscription service that delivers just that plus an additional sewing bonus item each month.  The selected fabrics are high quality quilters cotton by designer fabric brands, and the coordinating all purpose thread ensures that you can begin working on a new sewing project as soon as your SwatchBox is delivered. 

March SwatchBox Review

The fabrics in the March SwatchBox included beautiful orange and grey patterns by Windham Fabrics and dark orange thread.  The box also included all purpose sewing needles and a 2x2 square.  Beautiful fabric prints is one my weaknesses, and SwatchBox did not disappoint.

SwatchBox delivers designer fabric samples to your door.  The boxes are $15 each month (shipping included) and can be purchased month-to-month or in 6 and 12-month blocks.  Subscriptions can be purchased through the SwatchBox etsy shop where you’ll also find more information about the service.  Also, follow the SwatchBox Pinterest boards to see lots of great sewing projects that you can make with fat quarters and fabric scraps (and quilt projects, too) – you will never run out of sewing projects to make with your SwatchBox fabrics. 

Do you know someone who would love a subscription service like this?  I know a lot of folks who would love this, myself included!  Now, what should my first project with these beautiful fabrics be?
