Bundle Box ~ Fabric, Trim and Button Kits

The Cottage Mama Bundle Box

As a lot of you know, one of my favorite parts of the sewing process is selecting fabrics and trims for the different garments that I create. I love mixing and matching patterned patterned fabrics, using unique, classic trims and paying close attention to details down to the very last button.

In the past year or so, I have sold off bundle kits of some of the fabrics and trims in my studio. I have completely loved putting these together. While this has been a lot of fun, I know many people have missed out on these bundle opportunities. I have decided to put together The Cottage Mama Bundle Box to give more people the opportunity to purchase bundles. I’ve heard from many of you that you don’t have access to some of the higher quality fabrics or it’s hard for you to mix and match when ordering online. I totally get that! A lot of the magic happens when being able to play and mix and match in the studio. Well, another reason I have decided to put these boxes together is to help make your life a little easier…….you will know that when you receive your box, that you will be able to use everything inside to create a stunning sewn project.

What is The Cottage Mama Bundle Box?

The Cottage Mama Bundle Boxes are hand-selected fabrics, trims, buttons and threads all chosen by me, Lindsay Wilkes, owner of The Cottage Mama. They are fabrics and trims that I would use to create a special garment for a child.

These bundle boxes are not specific to one certain pattern, but they can be used for a wide variety. This will also depend on what size garment you are making as well. If you are making a baby sized item, you may have enough for a coordinating sibling outfit as well. When I select these fabrics I always have clothing in mind, but you could also use these boxes for other sewing projects such as bags, accessories, home decor and quilting. The options are endless.

What is included in The Cottage Mama Bundle Box?

• 3-4 yards of coordinating designer quilting cotton fabric
• 3-6 yards of coordinating trims
• 4 buttons (the buttons pictured are white; however, you will be receiving four coral or aqua buttons)
• 1 spool coordinating thread
• 1 fun surprise notion (this box contains these adorable embroidery scissors with bows)
• From time to time, you may receive a coupon towards the purchase of a The Cottage Mama Sewing Pattern.

How many bundle boxes are available?

I have put together a select number of this first bundle box to see if you all like them. These boxes will all be the same (with the exception of the fact that some will have aqua buttons and some will have coral). Now going forward with other bundle boxes, each box will vary slightly with the amount of yardage and trim included depending on what I have selected. For example, in this Bundle Box you will receive approximately 5.5 yards total of 2 different trims; however, in a different box the next month, you may receive only 3 yards of 1 trim because it is a wider, high-priced trim or you will be receiving more fabric. Either way, the value will always be the same and you can count on receiving within the range of the items in the list above.

If these sell, then I will do more and if not, then maybe it’s that you all love picking the fabrics and trims as much as I do! And that’s fine too!! I know some people agonize over the fabric and trim selection part of the creative process and truly enjoy the sewing aspect, so if you are one of those people then these Bundle Boxes are for you! These also make a beautiful gift for someone creative in your life.

I’ve already got ideas in my head for a fall, Halloween and Christmas bundle boxes. My mind never stops thinking of ways to get creative with fabrics and trims. I also have a few specialty boxes in mind geared towards Liberty of London and another focused on thicker fabrics for outerwear.

Additional information and FAQ:

How much does each bundle box cost?

Each The Cottage Mama Bundle Box is $59 plus shipping. Shipping is $5 for US, $10 for Canada and $20 for International. Yes, I realize that the international shipping is steep, but there isn’t really a way around it. Usually I limit these types of sales to US only, so this time I’m happy to ship to those of you abroad, but I have to charge you what I will be charged for shipping.

Where and when can I purchase this first Bundle Box?

The first The Cottage Mama Bundle Box will be available on Friday, July 22, 2016 at 10AM (CST). You can purchase the boxes over in The Cottage Mama Etsy shop. Click HERE to visit the Etsy shop. When I have sold fabric bundles in the past, they can sell out in just few minutes. So if you think you might like one, make sure to set your alarm to be ready to go right when they go on sale!

Can I purchase more than one box?

Yes, you may purchase more than one box, but they will be shipped separately. Each Bundle Box is packaged individually, so shipping cannot be combined.
