Thursday, May 15, 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 of the IndieStitch Box for May 2025! This month, we'll be sewing up a soft, flowy knit top with a gathered yoke that's perfect for summer wear. Plus, I have info on a FREE Fabric Shopping Bootcamp by DIY Fashion Rebel with a huge giveaway prize that includes 3 months of Indiestitch boxes! (Scroll to the bottom for that.) I also have an exclusive discount code just for my readers and a spoiler for the June 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 so far, 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.

IndieStitch May 2025 Unboxing
Inside the box, the card on top gives you all of the information you need for the month's project, including a code to download the instructions + 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.
I wanted to choose a fabric with natural content and this grey will go with the rest of my wardrobe perfectly.
Next out are the notions to help us make our pattern this month. We have a spool of matching Gütermann thread, two ball-point needles for knits in the correct size for the fabric weight, a 16" x 60" piece of knit interfacing, and a yard of 2" wide knit stay tape.
Next out is our printed pattern, the Algarve Top by Itch to Stitch. It's printed on thick copy shop paper so it's extra durable.
Next out is our 1st extra item, a large roll of Wash-Away Basting Tape. Use this to hold tricky seams together without pins and it dissolves when you wash the garment. This is going to come in handy with our knit top this month!
Last out is our 2nd extra item, a cute needle threader. I use these more the older I get, lol. We also received an Indiestitch vinyl sticker.
