This is NOT a kit!
It’s important to note that all of the Studio 7t7 boxes are NOT kits. It is often the case that we purchase patterns throughout the year when we see them. Often these are shelved and never made. And, by not including a new pattern we can keep the costs down.
Remember though, that all the items inside do go together. From the hardware colour to the matching fabric and goodies, you will have most of the things needed to make your next project.
Another benefit is that even though there are others receiving the same hardware and fabric you can be sure that you almost certainly won’t have the same finished bag.
You are always welcome to ask in the facebook group if you would like some inspiration.
Did someone say prizes?
Each year we have prizes inside the boxes. This year the first 25 orders will receive a free printed pattern. 7t7 Club members will receive an extra mystery gift (use the coupon found in the portal!) and we will be adding random prizes through out - a total of 25 prizes placed into random boxes throughout - will you have a winning box?
Will you win a coupon off further supplies? A pdf pattern? A printed pattern? Extra Hardware or supplies?
This box makes an awesome gift for any bag maker or sewist looking to get into bag making and is the perfect Christmas gift! You don't even need to wrap all the goodies inside!

FAQ
When do the boxes ship?
All boxes will ship in November, You will receive an email when they ship.
Do we get any patterns?
There are no patterns included in the 24 parcels as standard. As bag makers we often get bundles or have access to previously purchased patterns. We don't include patterns on purpose.... in my opinion, the thought of having many bags made from the same fabric in the same style is not the reason we sew.
Your ideas are unique, we supply the awesome matching products, you choose the pattern which means every bag made from this box is unique.
What can we expect inside the box?
24 individually wrapped 'gifts' each numbered. Wrapped in tissue and a ribbon, it's a surprise that you will love waking up to each day.
Most people open one each day. Some open them all at once when it arrives and some keep it as a christmas gift and open it all on the big day. It has also been known for people to purchase 2 so they can open one immediately and one each day!! The choice is yours.
This box has contents of retail value of around £160 without shipping and packaging costs.

Sadly due to GPSR we no longer ship to the EU. Sadly due to the ongoing tariffs with the USA we are no longer shipping/pausing shipping to the USA. If you are in either of these places you are welcome to have your box shipped to a UK address or friend who can forward it on to you.
