IndieStitch January 2026 Unboxing + a $40 Off Discount Code & February Pattern Spoiler!

Monday, January 12, 2026

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.



Happy New Year, y'all! I'm back with an unboxing of the IndieStitch Box for January 2026. This month, we'll be sewing up a pair of cozy & comfy joggers (or shorts) in a soft, brushed knit. I'll show you everything that came in this month's box + I have an exclusive $40 off discount code 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 and maybe learn some new techniques!

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


There are options to subscribe monthly or for 6 months at a time. The boxes are $86 each on the monthly plan, but the cost per box goes down to $70.58 if you pre-pay for 6 months. That's a savings of almost $16 per box!!!

Plus, you can use my new discount code: SouthernMom40 to get $40 off either plan! That's a HUGE savings!

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 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 Community 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 2026 Pattern

The piece we're making this month is the Audacity Joggers or Shorts from Pattern Niche.


The Audacity joggers are the perfect style meets comfort pant. The pleats add great visual detail while also creating a very flattering fit. It’s not your standard jogger. 


Features a high waist yoga waistband, slouchy pockets, and front and back pleats. Also includes shorts with side pleats and ruching. They’re also an amazingly fast sew! Start to finish in 1 hour! No serger required! No special tools needed.

January 2026 Fabric Choices


We have 7 fabrics to choose from this month.

  • Raspberry Tri-Blend French Terry (88% Polyester, 9% Rayon, 3% Spandex)
  • Grape Tri-Blend French Terry (88% Polyester, 9% Rayon, 3% Spandex)
  • Black Tri-Blend French Terry (88% Polyester, 9% Rayon, 3% Spandex)
  • Navy Yoga Jersey (95% Polyester, 5% Spandex)
  • Olive Yoga Jersey (95% Polyester, 5% Spandex)
  • Steel Blue Jersey Rib Knit (97% Polyester, 3% Spandex)
  • Black Jersey Rib Knit (97% Polyester, 3% Spandex)


Inside the box, a card lists all 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 this month's Community Sew Along dates and a QR code that takes you directly to the Indiestitch Hub for the month's video tutorial and resources. The other side details the items in the box and gives you a spoiler for the next month's pattern.

First out is the fabric. I chose the Raspberry Tri-Blend French Terry.


The color is more of a cranberry and I love it for the colder months. It's soft and cozy and will be wonderful for a pair of joggers to lounge in.


Next are the notions to help us make our pattern this month: a length of elastic, a spool of matching Gütermann thread, and two ball-point needles for knits in the correct size for the fabric weight.


Next is our printed pattern, the Audacity Joggers or Shorts from Pattern Niche. It's printed on thick copyshop paper, making it more durable to use and reuse for years to come.


Next is our 1st extra item, a Sewing Journal! This is a very nice bound journal with lined pages, and I will enjoy using this for my sewing ideas and planning.


Next is our 2nd extra item, a Flexible Measuring tape. These are great to have multiples of, and this one closes with a snap! I've never seen this before, but what a great idea!


Last out is another extra item, but it's not listed on our card. I think these are shoe charms? They're a bendable silicone with a shanked button on the back for popping through a hole, such as on Crocs or in a buttonhole. Very cute!

That was the IndieStitch January 2026 box. We got the fabric, notions, & pattern for a comfy and cute pair of pleated joggers or shorts that will be perfect to run errands or lounge in. Another great box!

SPOILERS AHEAD!

So far, we know that the February pattern will be the About Town Popover Shirt & dress from Pattern Emporium!


The About Town Popover is multiple patterns in one — a shirt, a shirt dress, and two front styles with a simple collar and three clever sleeves. It’s all about sewing something fresh & modern with no fuss. Add the wide hem, (optional) pockets and those effortlessly cool (optional) epaulettes for a look that feels both easy and elevated.

And the best thing… no buttons!!
