A curated selection of fabrics for the intrepid sewer, The Confident Stitch Swatch Service features eight carefully-selected fabric swatches that coordinate with the upcoming season!
We release our swatch cards four times annually, in March, June, September, and December.
The fabrics in the Warm Tones swatch card enhance skin with peachy, yellow or golden undertones. The fabrics in the Cool Tones swatch card complement skin with hints of pink, red, or blue.
In addition to the fabric selections, the pattern suggestions in each card reflect the season.

The swatch service is great! I ordered the garment fabrics for warm tones card. I like that all of the fabrics come with a decent sized swatch (approx 2×3). One of the fabrics included a second swatch to show off a bigger pattern. I ended up ordering fabric I wouldn’t normally have considered after seeing it plus the pattern recommendation. The YouTube videos are fun. Overall great service. Would highly recommend.

Service the swatch service is awesome! I have received both cool and warm tones twice now and really enjoyed all of the swatches. It is nice to be able to touch and feel the fabric and see the colors before deciding. Also the pattern suggestions are very helpful. Thank you to the Confident stitch!

This is a very cool service. It’s a great way to see a collection of curated seasonal fabrics, and it creates an in-person shopping experience at home . It’s also an excellent learning tool to build your swatch stash and get to know different types of fabrics.

I really love the swatch service! After getting the first one in cool tones, I ordered both cool and warm the next time. They are so helpful for me to get to know different kinds of fabrics. The videos are so helpful because you can actually see the hand of a large piece of the fabric. I highly recommend this service!

I love this service! Each mailing has an array of fabrics that can be combined in many ways for a capsule wardrobe. The videos add inspiration as well as care and handling tips. The pattern suggestions are so helpful to me as I have been known to fall in love with a fabric and not be sure what to make out of it.

I anticipated my swatch cards ( yes I subscribe to all 3!) and I wasn’t disappointed when they arrived. All the information about the swatch is printed right next to the sample, plus a sewing suggestion is printed for each one. I love being able to feel the fabric, it’s large enough to “feel” the weight and density, plus read the content, width size, and any colors available. With not being able to visit the store as often as I’d like, knowing what’s available, even for ordering by phone or online is terrific. Thank you for making the swatch cards available.

I love the new charm pack subscription. The variety of fabrics is wonderful. I also appreciate that I don’t have to remember to request the next selection. It’s a lovely surprise in my mailbox. And not an unpleasant surprise on my credit card bill because the price is quite reasonable. Great customer service is the cherry on top. Definitely recommend.

I enjoyed receiving my swatch service. The samples were a decent size, something you can really work with. The confident stitch has been great to work with on every occasion I have ordered from them.

The swatch service is brilliant for a number of reasons: 1. I can see and feel the fabric structure. 2. The video lets me see the drape of the fabric. 3. I love seeing the fabric paired with patterns. I learn about new patterns this way and I can also pair the fabrics with similar patterns that I already own. 4. Finally, even though I subscribe to the “warm” apparel swatches, I can easily find the video for the “cool” apparel fabrics which are often the same substrate but different colors. That opens up even more options for me! I’ve even started watching the quilting swatch videos. I’m at an advanced level and still find the service helpful and informative and if you’re a beginner you will find that your knowledge grows much faster than trying and failing at fabric pairing with patterns.

I just loved the Quilting Cotton charm pack! It included so many cute fabrics that just may necessitate another order! I also appreciated receiving the pattern for the pillow layout. Since I didn’t want to waste any of the beautiful fabric samples, I opted to make slightly smaller squares, and was able to make two pillow fronts after I purchased some additional yardage from your shop. I love the pillows that I made and look forward to the next set of lovely swatches.

I’ve ordered from CS several times, and even traveled to the shop. I knew I would be delighted with the swatch service and … taa daa! It was so cleverly put together and so helpful. I have to touch and feel before I buy, and pattern suggestions were great to get the creative mojo running. Thanks, girls for a great service and fun shop! Sew on!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the quilting cotton swatch service!!! The prints and colors of the charms motivated me to work on the Scrappy Diamonds pillow project right away instead of it languishing in my “one of these days” pile. Loved the fabrics so much, I ordered the Primavera Pinwheel lap quilt kit which I’m currently working on. The accompanying YouTube tutorials for both projects are really a valuable resource. The V Block ruler made it possible for this newbie quilter to feel great about how the blocks turned out. Even though they were not perfect, I was still amazed at what I accomplished. Thanks Kate!👍

Outstanding selection of quilting 5” squares! When my first swatch collection arrived I knew I had to make both the suggested pillow top and quilt. A great learning opportunity, using colors that were just a bit of a creative stretch for me.

How awesome is this for all sewists???!!! Swatches delivered to your door so you can feel them, dream about some makes, plan a capsule wardrobe for the season, and get a discount to boot. I live in a rural area and fabric shopping is difficult so this is just brilliant. Highly recommend the service!
