IndieStitch August 2025 Unboxing + a 50% Discount Code & September Pattern Spoiler!

Thursday, August 14, 2025

I 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!


Hey, y'all, I'm here with an unboxing of the IndieStitch Box for August 2025! This month, we'll be sewing up a closet staple top that can be structured or flowy, hip length or cropped, depending on your wardrobe needs. I also have an exclusive discount code and a spoiler for the September 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.

August 2025 Pattern

The piece we're making this month is the Ashton Top from Helen's Closet Patterns.


The Ashton Top is an all-season wardrobe staple that is easy to sew and style! Wear it during cooler months with jeans and a cardigan, or pair it with shorts for summer. The Ashton has bust darts and a signature A-line shape. View A is a hip-length top and view B is a crop top, ideal for pairing with high-waisted pants or skirts. Both views have the option to finish the neck and arms with an all-in-one facing or bias binding. The hem is finished using a beautiful hem facing. The Ashton makes a great stash-buster!


August 2025 Fabric Choices


We have 8 fabrics to choose from this month:

  • Lime Viscose Linen - Irish Linen - 15% Linen 85% Rayon
  • Lavender Viscose Linen - Linen Washed - 75% Rayon, 25% Linen
  • Black Flowers - Rayon Challis - 100% Rayon
  • Sky Blue Linen Viscose - Organic Linen - 55% Linen 45% Rayon
  • Taupe Rayon Blend - Gabrielle - 55% Rayon 45% Nylon Knit
  • Olive Leopard - Lightweight Twill - 95% Poly 5% Spandex
  • Hot Pink - Cey Airflow - 100% Poly
  • Black Rayon Challis - Rayon Challis - 100% Rayon


This month's box looks a bit different. I'm not sure if this is a one-off or if we'll be getting a new box design. 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.

Next out is the fabric. I chose the Black Rayon Challis, and we received 3
 yards of this 59" wide fabric.


I would have loved to see one of the linens in a more neutral color but I also love a good Rayon Challis. I've sewn up a few projects with it and the drape is lovely.


Next out are the notions to help us make our pattern this month: a spool of matching Gütermann thread and two universal needles for wovens in the correct size for the fabric weight.


We also got a card with a discount code to get the Ashton Top Sleeves Expansion Pack for 25% off. Very cool!

Next out is our printed pattern, the Ashton Top from Helen's Closet Patterns. It comes with Sizes 0-22 in a B-Cup and sizes 12-30 in a D-Cup. As always, it's printed on a thick, durable paper.


Next out is our 1st extra item, an ergonomic seam ripper. These are a must-have sewing tool and this is a very nice one!


Last out is our 2nd extra item, a Wooden Thread Cutter. I've never seen one of these before and it's pretty cool! The flower has a circle blade peeking from between the petals and it can be used in the hand or on the slotted base. The base has silicone anti-skid dots so it won't slide across the table. Nice!

That was the IndieStitch August 2025 box. We got the fabric, notions, & pattern for a versatile top that can be mixed and matched year-round. Another great box!

SPOILERS AHEAD!

So far we know that September's pattern will be the Capsule Cardigan from Greenstyle Patterns!


As a busy mom, we don't always have time to pick out the perfect outfit.  Don't worry, we give you the Capsule Cardigan! Toss it on over literally any tee or tank, with jeans or even with yoga pants! It has that two different lengths and a loose fit that we all love. There is an option for 3/4 sleeves or full length and don't forget the pockets! They are a perfect size and there is even an option for a hidden phone pocket to keep it secure.... we love little details like these!
