This year we are doing things differently at the Sewing Rabbit, and I am so excited to announce our newest venture. You can now officially become a PATTERN MEMBER of the Sewing Rabbit. We have teamed up with some of our favorite pdf pattern designers around the web, and will be offering 3 patterns every month to all members. Some of them will be exclusive, from the Sewing Rabbit Team personally. And others will be patterns that we already know and love by our favorite designers. All will be available to you as a Pattern Member.
Become a Pattern Member.
Travel Toiletry Bag – comes in 3 different sizes, with 3 different finishing options
By being a pattern member, you will automatically receive 3 patterns at the beginning of each month. We will talk about those patterns throughout the month, as we sew through them – and show off our creations together at the end! But one warning though – this will not be your typical, ‘pretty’ blog. This is where we will get REAL about sewing. Where we become friends and talk about our latest projects, and truly bond over our love for this timeless craft.
For the month of March, we have the patterns:
- Madeline Dress ePattern – Me Sew Crazy Pattern
- Travel Toiletry Bag – a Sewing Rabbit Exclusive Pattern (seen above)
- Knight Hoodie for Kids – by Charming Doodle
All of which are already there, and ready for download!!! (there will be no February patterns, as the month is practically over – but you can get your groove on for March now!)

I hope to see you there!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…
Happy Sewing!
It’s a great idea. I am still not sure whether I should participate or not. I had a look at the 3 patterns for March :
– I LOVE the knight pattern, really, but there are no little boys in our family
– I make lots of travel toiletery bags and I am not interested in a further pattern
– and the Maddie Dress goes only until 6y : my daughter is wearing 7-8y and her cousins 12-14y.
It is clear that not all patterns are interesting for everyone, and it is OK if 1 out of 3 does not fit the needs, but I fear that it will be more, espacially sizing is an issue for me.
It is a hard balance for sure – but I will try to hit 3 different patterns each month to try to cover the entire spectrum! Part of the fun is the surprise, similar to a monthly club where you receive a new present each month by being a member!
But of course, not every pattern is going to fit every person’s needs.
I think lots of little girls would like to be knights!
I agree Stephanie!!!
That’s the great thing about sewing– you can change patterns and increase or decrease the size of clothing as you need it. Also, some boys things can be made into girls things–some girls may even want to be a superhero and they should be allowed to do that. Often times my 7 year old granddaughter does not want frilly pink things– she actually has batman pj’s.
Great idea! I wish you lots of luck with your newest adventure! Hugs.
Thanks so much Mie!!!
Oh wow! What a great idea!!! SO MUCH FUN!
Thanks so much Andrea!! You rock 🙂
So exciting and what a brilliant idea. It’s like being part of a secret club. I LOVE it!
hee hee – thanks Celina 🙂 🙂 🙂
What a fun idea!
I’m so excited for this! I love surprises and know you have a knack for finding the coolest things out there! I can’t wait to sign up as a member and get the patterns each month!
Thanks so much Elisa! You are amazing!!! Everyone loves your knight hoodie…obviously 🙂
So smart! I love this idea 🙂
Thank you so much!!!
I looked over the 3 patterns and while I love Love the hoodie pattern and even the dress (no girls) but fun to have a side project…the bags I feel are something I would be using as there have been many free tutorials on how to make simple zippered bags. Will the patterns include small quilt projects? As I see you covered the spectrum really well boy,girl and something useful to sew. I love the idea that everyone can choose from something. Will the patterns that are chosen have special blogs post by the pattern creators?
Thanks so much Angel! On occasion, I might be able to get the pattern creator to write a blog post about the pattern, but that might not be the ‘norm’. I never like to promise something, and not follow through :).
But I will definitely try to cover the spectrum each month!
I really like this idea, but wanted to know will there be actual women’s clothing patterns including plus sometimes or just accessories.
I certainly plan to!!! But it might not be as frequent. Women’s clothing patterns in general have a much higher premium, as they should. But you know I am working it :).
I definitely have one definitely in the works, just not sure if it will be April or May by the time it is finished 🙂
Yay!! So fun!!
Thanks so much Erin!!!
hi! I love this idea!
The patterns included this month are fab!! just one question: what happens if we don’t have the time to make all 3 patterns?? dO we have to leave the “club” if it happens often??
I would love to join.
I know, it isn’t like that at all Sophie!!! This is all about having fun with sewing. If you have time to make them – GREAT! If not, that is okay too. Life happens! I just know how much fun it is when you DO sew, to have a venue to share it with! Especially when everyone is working on similar projects, or have worked on a project. But there is certainly no pressure to MUST MAKE the pattern :).
thank you for your answer!! I REALLY am thinking about it!!:)
This is awesome!! When I think of all the money I spend on PDF’s every month, $10 for 3 plus some community fun is steal! I will definitely be joining along!
Thanks so much Shawnta! I can’t wait to get to know you better!
oh this sounds great. and uh, the knight hoodie is part of the first month. very tempting.
I ADORE that pattern!!! Can’t wait to sew one up for Ben 🙂
Genius idea! 😀
Thanks so much Zoe!
I have just joined. I love the idea of a surprise every month 🙂 What a shame I had only just purchased the Knight Hoodie pattern! but I have been eyeing off the Madeline Dress for ages 🙂 One happy new member!
YEAH Caroline!!! I am so excited to get to know you better – yahoo!!!
love that knight hoodie!
I know – right Abby?! It is so awesome!!!
I just joined! I can’t wait to see what patterns are in the future months.
WOO HOO!!! It is going to be an awesome March, and I cannot wait to show off what I am lining up for April as well – so exciting!!!
I just joined!!
YEAH! YEAH YEAH!!! So excited 🙂
What is the cost of this?
It is $10 per month, if you click through, it has all of the details 🙂
what is our cost for this
This is a fabulous idea! I have so many patterns that I’d probably end up with PDFs I already own- otherwise I’d be first in line!
I hope to surprise you with the exclusive stuff 🙂 🙂 🙂
I think it’s a great idea but I agree with some of the other comments. I may not actually make use of many of the patterns! Is there another way of doing the club so you can choose having one/two or three patterns a month so if you chose one pattern you are charged a lower fee compared to two patterns or full membership.
Not at the moment Sarah – but we are starting membership site at a walk. If it is successful, then hopefully we can RUN with it someday 🙂
I think this is a good idea but I am worried as a uk user how much of it will be readily available here at hoe,.
I know from visits to USA that the fabric your stores sell is far better than ours.
The patterns will all be easily available, and just ready for download!! The fabric discounts and such will vary depending on the fabric store’s policy for shipping :).
Do we find out in advance what the next month patterns are going to be? like we already know what march patterns are. Or will it just be kept a surprise till they pop up in our email?
You might get sneak peeks! But probably won’t find out what they all are until the month begins 🙂
When/where is the online sewing party?
Hey Sara – There will be a post tomorrow in the membership group welcoming everyone so we can start to get to know one another!
This is fantastic! I am going to join. Woo hoo! This is how I look at it. If there are patterns that may not suit my needs, they can always be modified and are an inspiration or a starting point for other projects. Considering some patterns cost $12, this is a steal at $10/month!
Oops. It’s Daniela, not Daniel. lol Was so excited to join, I didn’t even spell my name right!
That really made me laugh 🙂
Love this idea. Do you have any links or suggestions on printing on a desk top printer on 8 X 11 paper? The regular paper is rather thick once taped together and folded. Is there a product that is a little thinner, but not tissue paper thin?
Sometimes I make another pattern from tissue paper from my printed and taped thicker one, but it is double/triple the work. I have 2 granddaughters who are size 6-9 months and 3T.
If you buy cheap paper, the quality is not so good, it’s much thinner, so that’s what I use.
Yay, just signed up . Very excited and great patterns to start with – I see a few knight hoodies as birthday presents 🙂
I have been thinking about it for a few days, it’s a definite yes, and a bargain at $10. I love surprises so it suits me fine. I’ll be signing up right away. I just love the knight hoodie, I need to make a girlie version but NOT PINK.
I haven’t seen the Madeline Dress before, but I love how it works at the back. The three March patterns are very stylish. Just hoping they are just as stylish in the coming months.
Oooh! it’s so exciting.
