Give the gift of sewing

Hi Emily,

My 16 year-old niece recently started sewing. It's her birthday coming up and I'd like to give her one of your patterns but I don't know which one to choose. I'm wondering if you have gift cards available so she can pick the right one for her?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

What a great hobby for your niece! It's such a fantastic time to learn to sew as there are so many fantastic patterns and resources available. I love the idea of gifting patterns as they not only get the pattern itself, but the making experience that goes along with it!

I have been meaning to add gift cards to my website for a long time. Thank you for your question as it prompted me to finally get around to it! You can purchase a gift card here. You will be sent an email that you can forward to your niece or you can use the digital gift card template that will be sent to you too so you can add a gift message.

I hope your niece enjoys using our patterns!

Kind regards,

Emily

Hi Emily,

I am a member of Curated by ITF (which I love by the way) and would love to gift a subscription to my daughter-in-law for Christmas as she is also a maker. I think it would be fun to sew the projects together! How would I go about this?

Thanks,

Sue

Hi Sue,

What a fantastic gift idea! I am sure your daughter-in-law will be thrilled! There are two options - you can sign-up for here with a regular membership and pay the recurring charge, or you can purchase a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month Curated by ITF membership here. It's a prepaid membership, so you don't need to worry about a recurring charge each month.

With a Curated by ITF membership she will receive first access to new projects each month. This includes new patterns, fitting resources or hack kits - resources that will empower makers on their sewing, pattern making and fitting journey.

Subscribers will gain access to:

New monthly projects: Gift recipient will receive their first project right away and then a new project on the first of every month, straight to their inbox. Each project will teach new skills and build on what the community has been learning each month. New projects will be sent straight to the gift recipient for either 3, 6 or 12 months - depending on the gift selection. Would you like to see what we're making this month? You can see the current project here.
Access to our ITF community platform: Gift recipient will be able to connect with other makers by gaining access to our online community platform. A place to share ideas, inspiration and questions. Makers will feel supported as they can work on the same project as other makers.
Community-centred content: Sew-alongs, tutorials and sneak peeks of upcoming patterns and projects that we’re working on for you.

Happy sewing,

Emily
