IndieStitch January 2025 Unboxing + a 50% Discount Code & February Pattern Spoiler!
Friday, January 10, 2025I received a complimentary box from IndieStitch in order to facilitate an unboxing post. All opinions are my own. This post may contain some affiliate links. When you purchase through links on the site, I may earn a small commission, which helps me to bring you this content!
Hi, y'all, I'm back with an unboxing for the IndieStitch Box for January 2025! This month, we'll be making a cropped jacket with a gathered sleeve and waistband feature or you can opt for a more traditional jean jacket silhouette. I also have an exclusive discount code just for my readers and a spoiler for the February pattern. Let's unbox it!
About IndieStitch
IndieStitch is a monthly subscription box for home sewists that provides you with everything you need to complete a beginner-friendly clothing project.
Sit back, sew, and savor the joy of making. We handle the sourcing so you can focus on the stitching. Expertly curated women’s clothing projects, premium fabrics, and community support—all in one box.
That’s what makes IndieStitch so special. When you open up your box, you’ll have exactly what you need to get back to sewing for you.
Subscription Options
As you can see above, there are 12-month, 6-month, and 1-month plans and the cost per box goes down with the longer plans. This year we get a new option to pre-pay for the plans for an added discount!
Plus, you can use the code SOUTHERNMOM50 to get 50% off your first box on the 6 and 12-month plans! That's a HUGE savings!
How Does It Work?
- When you sign up for IndieStitch, you'll provide your size range for the printed pattern that comes in your box every month. The size ranges are incredibly inclusive!
- Once subscribed, you'll receive an email at the end of the month (usually around the 28th) to choose the fabric for the next month's pattern.
- Your box ships out around the 4th of each month.
- You can choose to sew it up on your own using the pattern instructions, use the video tutorials provided in the IndieStitch Membership Hub, and/or join the Sew Along that happens in the IndieStitch Facebook group starting on the Monday around the 14th.
- If on a monthly plan, your membership will renew for the next month between the 13th - 15th.
- The next month's pattern is revealed on the Second Week of the Month on all social media channels (or here on my blog 😉.)
- If you don't like the pattern for the month (or maybe you already own it), you can switch it with a past project you didn't get or swap the pattern out for extra fabric or notions. That way, you'll always get something you'll love to sew!
There is also an IndieStitch shop where you can buy some of the past project boxes, fabrics, and sewing notions.
If you'd like to see some of their past boxes, check out all of my IndieStitch unboxings here.
Monthly Free Gift!
If you complete the current month's project and post it to the IndieStitch Sew Along Facebook group before the end of the month, you will earn a free gift in your next box! Following along and seeing everyone's projects in the group is a great part of the box experience and getting a little gift in your next box is so sweet.
January 2025 Pattern
The pattern we're making this month is the Smitten Jacket from Pattern Emporium!
The Smitten Cropped Jacket sewing pattern is a fabulous mix of traditional & trend design. Designed for woven fabrics with a nod towards the classic denim jean jacket, it features a cropped hemline, full sleeve with wide gathered cuff worn loosely at the wrist & a gently elasticated hem band. For a more traditional look, we’ve also included a plain hem band & shirt-style sleeve with button-up cuff.
January 2025 Fabric Choices
This month we have 7 different fabric options:
- Black - Stretch Twill - 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
- Ivory - Stretch Twill - 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
- Purple - Stretch Twill - 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
- Medium Blue - Chambray - 100% Cotton
- Darker Blue - Chambray - 100% Cotton

IndieStitch January 2025 Unboxing
The IndieStitch Box comes with a card on top that states all of the information you need for the month, including a code to download the instructions and a digital version of the pattern for free (you will get the printed pattern in your box.)
It also gives you the current month's Sew Along dates and a QR code that takes you to the sewing hub for video tutorials. The flip side details all of the items in your box.
This is a soft and semi-fluid fabric with a bit of crispness that will work well with either the gathered or straight sleeve options.
Next out are the notions to help us make our pattern this month. We have a spool of matching Gütermann thread, two universal needles for wovens in the correct size for our fabric, a length of elastic for the gathered options, a large piece of interfacing, and 7 matching buttons.
Next out is our printed pattern, the Smitten Jacket from Pattern Emporium. It's printed on thick copy shop paper so it's extra durable.
Next out is our 1st extra, a Measuring Tape. This is a good reminder to replace your tape! They are flexible, so are perfect for taking body measurements but do stretch and warp over time. I've had mine for about 15 years so it's high time I got a new one.
Last out is our 2nd extra, a Sewing Machine & Scissors Pendant Necklace! How cute is this?! I will definitely be rocking this, especially on the days I've decided to make time to sew. So pretty!
____________________________
That was the IndieStitch January 2025 box. I'm not sure I'm adventurous enough for the full, gathered sleeve options but I'm happy to have a cute white twill jean-style jacket for the upcoming spring months. That will be a great layering piece for dresses. I always love the notions we get because I forget that sometimes things need to be replaced, even if they seem to be working just fine. Great box!
