Announcing Sew Small September 2025!
For the past two years, I co-hosted Sew Small September with my friend Madeline of Madswick. This year, Madeline is taking a well-deserved break, and I’m so excited to welcome my friend Bethany from Fluid Plus Drape as my new co-host.
Here's what you need to know...
How to Participate
1️⃣ Sew something during September using a fabric/supply and/or pattern from ANY small shop.
2️⃣ Post it to your Instagram feed between Sept 1–30.
3️⃣ Use the hashtag #SewSmallSeptember25
4️⃣ Tag @neighborhoodpatterns + @fluidplusdrape
This giveaway is open worldwide. And you can enter as many times as you like.
Giveaway + Prizes
We’ll be giving away 5 prize bundles filled with goodies from our generous sponsors. Winners will be drawn on October 1, 2025.
Each bundle includes prizes from amazing independent sewing shops—think fabric, sewing patterns, and unique sewing notions that you won’t find at big-box stores.
Sew Small September Shop Directory
To celebrate, we’ve put together a growing directory of small sewing businesses. Many of these shops are challenge sponsors, and they’re offering prizes for this year’s giveaway.
💬 We’d love your input! Leave a comment below and share your favorite small sewing shops so we can add them to the directory.

Hi All! This is such a wonderful idea and I’ll be following along! Just wanted to drop a mention for Karina+Kind, a small fabric shop in Australia 🙂 www.karinaandkind.com.au
Adding my fabric shop here, Open Studio Sewing (located in Minneapolis, MN)! Thanks for hosting! :)
