Happy Post!

Sewing subscription box services are becoming increasingly popular. With lots to choose from they provide happy post, a quick way to sample different products and are a thoughtful gift option for a fellow sewist, as well as encouraging us to start new projects. I’ve chosen four different sewing subscription box services and I’ve asked the wonderful women behind these businesses to describe their products, inspiration and give us a sneak peek of any future plans!

Pocket and Pin 

Sarah Howe started Pocket and Pin in 2015 , she tells us a little more about her business: “We offer monthly subscription boxes packed full of good quality craft supplies to inspire you to get making. We also do one-off boxes and special themes for Mother’s Day or Easter gifts.” 

Keen crafter, Catriona Haggart has been subscribing for over six months and is very happy with her boxes. “It’s great value! There’s a fat quarter from a known brand and eight pieces of felt with a colour theme. There’s also some embroidery floss on a cute wooden holder, plus themed buttons and ribbons that are always very good quality. The whole thing is beautifully put together and a pleasure to receive.” For her inspiration and future aims Sarah says, “I plan my boxes up to six months in advance, but ideas can change and develop if I fall in love with a particular fabric or trim. I’ve even built a whole box around a single button before! We recently switched over to a letterbox friendly box, which has been well received by our subscribers. My focus this year is to develop the gift box side with more options geared towards inspiring children.” www.pocketandpin.co.uk
