Happy Birthday (belated)!

Thanks, excellent review.

Happy belated Birthday 🎉😊

Pre cuts are always off . Learning how to cut your fabric is part of your learning curve .

The concept of this box is good . Unfortunately the instructions have lack of technique, which a beginners needs for a growing foundation. Videos lack of attention to detail which that is a key element for a good end a product . My opinion as a past subscriber , owner needs to take sewing classes .

Good morning and happy Last Sew What Project Review Monday! I appreciate that you plan on giving the subscription as a whole a good think-over, with a final overall review pending. That seems like a very fair thing to do, and I look forward to seeing the video when it is ready. This looks like it would be good for a beginner to try, but for more experienced sewists it might be a little boring to make. I feel as though the finished project looks...well, unfinished. Some batting & quilting as @lizwarnke4689 suggested would help immensely, as would a border. I'm envisioning making a border out of the some of the red fabric, the same width as the strip pieces, then a second border (same width) in the background material, and finally a nice binding in the dark blue. Not only would that jazz up the front a bit, it would add some interest to the otherwise very plain back. It reminds me of a beginner's cookbook that I have ("The Can't Cook Book: Recipes for the Absolutely Terrified!" by Jessica Seinfeld): it's a good starting point, and a good way to dip your toe in the pool if you have no clue what you're doing, but the final product is definitely lacking in spices. I agree with you that the drawings rather than photos for the instructions & "this is what it will look like" picture is annoying. It seems very unprofessional, and it makes me wonder if they actually stitched one up before sending out the boxes. This is complete conjecture on my part, so take it with a grain of salt: I think that printing the instruction cards has a longer lead time than making the tutorial, so they shipped them off to the printer before actually sewing up the table runner. While it's also unprofessional to have the uneven cuts in the tutorial, you gotta admit that at least it matches the reality of what was in the box. I think the word you were looking for in regards to interfacing on the pieced section is "stablization." Hope you had a wonderful birthday! 🎂🎉 BTW, I'm going to be extremely busy starting on Wednesday *very* early in the morning until mid-morning on Monday, so I won't have time to watch any videos during that time. Didn't want you to think I'd abandoned your channel, LOL.

I think this all would have looked better with batting and then quilted and some binding on the outside. You are right about the video. The video should be correct. Thanks for the very thorough review.

I was looking for someone who did covers for this exact chair! I refuse to pay almost 1/2 the cost of the chair just for removable covers. Your cushions turned out great! As someone who has no sewing skills whatsoever, I would've liked to see that part of your process (ASMR anyone?), but that's okay. Keep up the awesome work!

Baroo? I thought I sent in projects for June, but perhaps you didn't receive them. I'll send some later today; maybe you can have a community update in August, even if it's just one person LOL. Those temperatures are insane! Your inside temps are higher than our outside temps, and that's saying quite a bit since I can literally drive a couple hours and be in the desert. It's generally quite warm here. On the plus side (if there is one), you'll be able to add lots of that pretty orange to your quilt. Although, you might need to add another color if you hit 100F or higher. Nice simple blocks for the Symphony BOM this time around. I bet it felt good to have an easy-peasey bit of a break compared to the more complex prior months. Looks like you're in the home stretch there. It's going to be quite exciting to finally see the quilt in all its finished glory. Please get your wiring checked out by an electrician; the breakers should not be popping that easily, and the fact that your wiring is old is concerning. Teal deer version, we had similar issues that got worse over time, and after I got a jolt when Mr O flipped the breaker back on we called in an electrician. After checking out the wiring he told me I was very, very lucky that it was a mild jolt and not a fatal shock. We'd kinda like you to stick around, you know.

We can't have our coffee maker or toaster going at the same time as our microwave. LOL.😅We got new air conditioners that don't need as much power and they work great and don't trip out breakers anymore. The heat here in Maine has been simply unlivable. If I didn't have an air conditioned house, I'd be sick. Usually the nights are cooler and we can open windows but the humidity has been awful and we can't do that.

Good morning and yay! Two more members of the Unpronounceable Surname Club! "But Susan," I hear you say. "Owen is EASY!" Except that's only the last four letters; my full surname has thirteen letters and a hyphen. Also, for some reason people like to put an "S" at the end of "Owen." Oddly enough, my maiden name (the 9 letters before the hyphen) does end with an S, and people like to pretend it isn't there. Oh, well. The older I get, the more I learn that old people had it right all along. Caramels & butterscotch are delicious. Sitting on the porch on a nice day & waving at the neighbors is pleasant. Knitting, sewing, and baking are fun. Why not go out to dinner at 4pm & beat the rush? Then again, having turned 60 a few months back, perhaps I need to face the fact that I *am* an old person....nah. Not for at least another decade. My dog would go nuts over that crinkle toy, presuming he was allowed to have it (he tends to eat any toy that he can rip apart, and that looks a little fragile for a tough chewer like him). Notepad, yes please! I miss the days when real estate agents would leave notepads at the door as a way of marketing themselves. (Do you remember that, or is it another old people thing?) The one in the box is super cute with the little kitty face border & dad-worthy pun. The clips are adorable, too; they look perfect (purrrrrfect) for keeping a bag of chips closed. Or maybe glue a magnet to the back, and use them to hang reminders/shopping lists/photos on the fridge. And the slippers would be quite helpful in getting fur off the floor; not sure how they'd work on carpet, but tile or hardwood - yes, very useful. Just curious how they fit width-wise? I love the color of the shirt, but the image is a little cutesy for my taste. All in all, good box this month. They stayed on theme, everything in it is nice (yes, even the shirt; just because it isn't my style doesn't mean it's inherently bad, plus the color is quite pretty), and that was a lot of stuff in one box when you get right down to it. Using prices in my area as a guideline, I'd say the value is there. T-shirts are about $25-$30 (higher than in Connecticut, apparently, but there's a high cost of living where I live) and the slippers would be about $15. That's $40 right there. Add in the toys, the notepad, the clips, the postcard, plus all the intangibles of putting the box together (paying employees, shipping, packing materials, etc etc) and the price isn't so bad after all. Happy belated birthday to your husband, and happy early birthday to you! 🎂🎂

Volume is very low

Ooh this is another good one! I have my subscription set to start back up in September and can't wait!

Another great project from Sewers Club

This box loooks great!…can’t wait to see the project made 😊

Good morning and happy Wednesday! This is a great project for sure. They did a fantastic job coordinating the fabrics & matching the thread. While there are free tutorials online for making fabric baskets, they're not as - what's the word I'm looking for? - polished, that's it. They're not as polished as this one is with the rounded shape, leather strap, gold screws, and labels. It looks like it will be sturdy, too. The awl was a good choice for the add-on notion; much easier than trying to poke holes with snips or a seam ripper. You can easily see that Sewers Club put a lot of thought into this month's box.

Good morning and happy Monday! May you all have an easy day today. There are definitely issues with this month's offering. As you pointed out, it would have been better if this were a June box so that there would be time to make it before the 4th of July. I'm sure you weren't the only person who received/opened it after the holiday was over. If you pause the video at 7:13, it's very obvious that the red & white strips are shorter than the blue ones by about 3/8". Not an insurmountable flaw - the finished contrast row can be trimmed to match the length of the shortest strip before stitching it to the background - however since one of the big selling points of this $39 box is that the cutting has been done for you, they should take a little more care in doing those cuts accurately. If in fact the red & white pieces are too short (as opposed to the blue ones being too long), then the finished runner is going to be slightly narrower than it ought to be. I'm curious as to what kind of table this runner is supposed to fit. Using the "measure your table and make your runner 1/3 as wide and 12" longer" rule of thumb, we're looking at this fitting a table that is 36" wide by 24" long. It would work as a topper on a 36" x 60" table since that would leave enough space between the fabric & the table's edge to hold a place setting, but they're not advertising it as a topper. Frankly, with the amount of material in the box, I think the placemats would have been a better project choice. The patriotic theme is not my style at all (and I'm not even Canadian, although both my parents were). I do like the colors, I just don't like them as a combo. I'd much rather have the same patterns with a different color scheme; just think how nice this would look in shades of green, white, and aqua. As for their stash builder subscription, I'd bet a shiny dime that they're going to be JoAnn fat quarters (which as you know frequently go on sale for as low as $1.59), and the patterns will be ones you can find online for free. Why pay $40 for a box of random fat quarters when you can buy the exact same ones for half the price directly from JoAnn? Now there's no shame in using their fabrics - but if I'm paying high-quality prices I expect to get high-quality materials. You've already been disappointed with the project box, and I think you'd be disappointed with the stash builder, too.

I guarantee it'll be Joann's fat quarters and repeats. That's one of the reasons i canceled. I check back sometimes to see if its changed because i like the concept, but it hasn't. That blue star fat quarter you got in your project box this month is the same one that was in a box from over a year ago. $39 for 10 low-med quality fat quarters is insane. ☹️

I'm thinking that the fabric quality for the stash box will probably be the same as the project box.

I think the owner needs to hire someone that knows how to sew with high standards. The pre cut concept is hard to tackle when she has shown on videos that pieces are manually cut and with cheap fabric shape tend to be questionable

What if the quality is not there ... I would save the $$ and stick with sewers club.

Good morning and happy Wednesday! I literally did the Wallace & Gromit flail when I saw the thumbnail for today's video, because remember last week when I said I got a fabric that I knew you would love? You got some of it, too 😀 It is, of course, the Jungle Queen Cream/Black Tigers. Your reaction was exactly the same as mine - "Oh, a stripey print, that's ni- OMG IT'S TIGERS LOOK AT THEM IT'S TIGERS!!" I'm really happy that it was in your box, too. (All told, we received five of the same fabrics, including this one. I'm a little sorry you didn't also receive the Flora & Fun - Ostrich in colorway Thistle, but perhaps you would not be as enamored of it as I am. It's easily the most absolutely ridiculous bird print I've ever seen and I adore it completely.) It's no surprise that this is a lovely box, since it *is* Sewers Club after all. That Full Moon Lilac Floral is particularly nice (my late mother would have loved it), with the pale purple background and the not-in-your-face floral print. I'm loving the Party Time Blue Fringe, too; it looks kind of like the paper ruffles on a piñata. The Fresh Flowers in Violet is another beauty, and yes it does indeed look good with the Local Honey; it really brings out the magenta of the leaves. And do I even need to say that I love the Banyan Assorted Green? Because I do, very much. When I saw it I thought, "Oh, I got some of that one too!" but alas, I did not. Must have been in Dandelion Stitches' box because I *know* I've seen it recently. Surprisingly, it's only my second-favorite in the box; the Cream/Black Tigers easily comes in first. Speaking of the green, I disagree when you say it has nothing to pair with it in this box. Try it with the Fresh Flowers. Bright green and violet is such a stunning combination & I'm willing to bet a shiny quarter that they'd be amazing together. 50km converts to...31 miles. Egads, no wonder your feet hurt! Yes, please do share a video of your vacation; it will be fun to see all the places you went to & what you did there.

My first time visiting your channel and I had never heard of Sewer's Club before. I'm excited to try it!

I haven't made mine yet, but looking forward to seeing how mine turns out! Great review of your bag!

You need a Teflon foot for suede .

Good morning and happy Wednesday! You're at 666 subscribers at the moment; the perfect number LOL Lordy, I forgot how gorgeous those fabrics are. And you've got some decent-sized scrap pieces left, too, for all your "going rogue" and fussy cutting. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them later on, presuming you decide to share that with us. 30C = 86F; 39C = 102.2F so yeah, it's gonna be hot as heck for you. We've been having temps in the 25C - 27C (77F - 82F) range and that's been miserable enough. Be sure to drink more water than you think you need, and maybe throw a couple Gatorades in there as well. Love, love, LOVE how the bag turned out. It's the perfect grab-and-go size, the faux leather looks so good with the turquoise-y fabrics, and I still can't get over how perfectly that zipper goes with the green of the leaves. Fussy cutting really paid off for you on this one; having the little squirrel and all those non-decapitated birds is just so satisfying to see, ya know? The matching strap is a nice touch, too. While there is one itty bitty tweak I would have done (adding tabs to the top zipper), it's really overall a fantastic project. (And what do you *mean* green is not really your favorite color on the planet, I am sorry but I cannot.) It's no surprise that Sewers Club reached out to you with advice on your May project video; their customer service is top-notch. Still, it was incredibly kind of them to have done so, and by putting it in the comments it may help other subscribers as well. EDIT - I deleted the original last paragraph for this one: my Stash Builder just arrived a few minutes ago, and I'm looking forward to Wednesday so I can see if we got any of the same ones. It's in the new craft mailer rather than the pretty box, and surprisingly I'm happy about that. True, it's just plain cardboard, and I can absolutely live with that because it's a little bit larger than their old box which means the fat quarters fit inside it better. As usual I love every piece of fabric that's in it (there's one that's a repeat from the December box, and I'm super stoked about that because I already used up the first one in a project and was wishing I had more of it), and there's one in particular that I hope you get because I think you will really like it.

Is bags the only project they do each mlnth?

For sure the box is very expensive for what it is

Good morning, and happy Monday! Hope you had as good a weekend as I did. Overall, I think this might be their best project yet. There are a couple things I would tweak out of personal preference (deeper cut-outs for the boxed corners, different color zipper, adding zipper tabs and maybe a summery charm to the zipper pull) but generally speaking this is a really nice bag. Having the option of adding a pocket is a plus, and like you I wish they'd included the materials for that option. The water-resistant lining is an excellent choice. Even if you don't put a wet bathing suit inside it, it's perfect for keeping things dry at the beach or pool. And as I mentioned in my comment on the unboxing, I adore the fabrics. It's still a little pricey for what you get, however I'd be much more willing to overlook that if all the projects were this nice.

Go Fred go !…how about Caravaggio next ?

What talent !…..love it !

Your positive energy is like a beacon in the vast sea of content. Keep shining bright!

First off that teal/purple/blue color combo is to die for. It's so gorgeous that I had to point out how gorgeous it is before I can even say good morning. So. Good morning! (Ha! I just hit the 1 minute 52 second mark, and apparently you were too excited to say good morning first, too LOL). "It's currently 33 degrees..." Me: God, that's cold!! "Celcius" Me: God, that's hot!! While I'm sorry you're going to be broiling the next few days, it does mean more of that lovely orange in the quilt so hey, silver lining? (Digression: Mr O just said they're getting snow in Montana??? In JUNE, that is crazy. End digression.) The quilt is getting more & more beautiful every month, and it's such fun to see the progress on it as time goes by. Question: How did you calculate the amount of fabric to buy for each temperature range, and are there any colors that you think you bought too much or not enough of? Soooo, my projects. The dog blanket is still in timeout for bad behavior; I'll need to get back on it soon before it stops being a WIP and turns into a permanent UFO. In the meantime, I've been making a whole bunch of scrappy QAYG blocks & strips. No clue what I'll do with them when they are finished (although I did make a boxy bag with one really big scrappy rectangle), however Mt Scrapmore really needs to be eroded a bit & this was a good way to do it. I'm stitching them to cut-up pages from a magazine I was planning on throwing out anyway, so at least the paper is being put to good use before it eventually hits the trash can. I can make two 5" squares and one 3" x 10-1/2" strip from each page of the magazine, so I should have quite a few blocks and a much smaller scrap pile in the end. One thing I did learn is that I need to buy more bright fabrics; never realized before how many dark colors I tend to use.

Love this project! I need to get sewers club boxes again but I told myself I had to finish all my previous boxes before I do and I’ve got one from 2022 still hanging around 😂

Thanks for sharing your CatLadyBox. 😊 I agree it’s a good box this month. Love the T-shirt color & vintage vibe which I think goes well with rest of the items this month. Hope you have a great time at the beach. 🏖️

Good morning and happy Friday! Um, Monday.... (Good grief, that's the second time today I've put Friday instead of Monday.) Hope everyone had a great weekend. Lots of goodies in this month's box, although I must say that when you showed the parrot cat toy I thought, "Wow, even the cat box lady is sending Fred birds!" At least it isn't grey, LOL. The vintage cat artwork on the card, towel, and wine cups is right up my alley (as is the green of the towel, no surprise there). The color palette is fantastic, too. And then you get to the t-shirt...sigh. It doesn't really fit the theme/style of all the other items, and the artwork is not my style at all. The cats look like stuffed toys; why didn't they stick with the vintage style, or at the very least a more realistic cat? And why the weird blue/teal instead of a color picked from the palette of all the other items? Just a very odd choice overall to go with this particular box. All in all, while I like most of the items in the box, I have to say I don't think it's very impressive for the price. The towel does not look like it's very high quality, the cat toys could easily be bought for a couple bucks at the dollar store or bargain bin of a pet shop, and while I do like the wine glasses rather a lot, let's face it, when you get right down to it they're just plastic cups.

Very nice. You got a different color way from mine. I got the Blue Fabric A , Light Brown Faux Suede and the Mushroom Fabric.

Good morning and happy Wednesday! This is such a wonderful project. That little bit of faux suede just takes it up a notch, and those cunning little bird zipper pulls are simply ::chef's kiss:: And the fabrics! Absolutely gorgeous. The pinkish-orange of the birds looks like a sunset reflecting off their feathers against a twilight sky. They did a great job with the coordinating thread and zipper, too. It looks like everything you need is in the box, including the fleece so that's a plus for sure. I'm glad this and the Sew What boxes seem to have pulled you out of your slump :-) It's a shame that SC is switching to mailers rather than boxes. The three Stash Builders I have received so far all came in boxes; they are so sturdy and stackable. I'm going to hate to see them go, although I'm sure they would have continued with them if it had been feasible.

Can’t wait to see it finished. Love the fabric

Good morning and happy Monday! That is an interesting, yet perplexing box this time around. The fabrics are beautiful and look really good together. The concept of a swimsuit (sqimsuti???? Need more coffee!) bag is a good one, although I'd really love to have seen a photo of it rather than just the sketch. Even if one doesn't use it for a wet swimsuit, it would be handy for carrying anything that might spill/leak without having to worry about stained fabric. But the dark grey zipper - well, that was certainly a choice. Who knows, maybe it looks better than we think it will, but without a photo to confirm that - yeah, I'm with you; if it were my project, I'd head to the fabric shop & pick out a more suitable color such as teal, orange, cream, or maybe even a green to bring out the leaves. Oh! You are a TEASE with the Sewers Club box! I actually already know what the project is - Dandelion Stitches opened hers last week - however I'm curious to see your reaction, and if you received the same fabrics for it as she did. I won't say whether or not I liked it until you post your video, on the off-chance that you haven't already opened it.

That turned out so good. My first project was horrible. Lol

My favorite is the acid wash green

Thanks for sharing! I did receive 6 of these in my 15 pack of FQ earlier in May. …would love to hear your thoughts on storage of these orphan FQs…do you group by colour?…type of print?…saturation/value? I am having a hard time finding ways of pulling from these FQs for quilts 😬 I am building stash, but not yet seeing how I can use it

Good evening and happy Wednesday! My Stash Builder usually arrives quite late in the month - around the 28th or so - and my March box actually didn't make it until April 1. Hopefully the June box will be here before July ::fingers crossed:: To the surprise of nobody, this is yet again a well-curated, beautiful box from Sewers Club. 8 out of 10 are stunning; the Heartfelt 1 is pretty, and the Botanical would have been gorgeous if it had been in a different color combo. The Flutter, Acid Wash, and Elements more than make up for that one hiccup, though. (I actually paused the video so I could stare at the Flutter for a couple minutes; so so so amazing.) The Lustre s a real beauty, too. Fun video! I really enjoyed seeing the goodies :-)

Nice box

That turned out really cute! It's even cuter than the picture on the packet. You did a great job teaching yourself how to crochet. You might be able to squish the stuffing enough for it to sit flat, or crochet a ring around the bottom like you sometimes see on a bowl to give it stability (although you might need to get more yarn). The quantity & quality of the materials isn't surprising since it came from Dollar Tree. The important thing though is that it seems like you enjoyed the process, and at the end of it all that's what really matters.

I really enjoyed this review from a beginners perspective. I reviewed this same kit for my channel (video will come out this week) and I had no problem with the kit and plenty of yarn left. But I am not a beginner! I agree with you the kit is great for the price but NOT beginner friendly. Is it okay if I link your video in the description of my video so viewers can see from a beginners perspective?

Haven't done this one yet but will in the coming month. By the way,I found a trick to avoid the binding inside - looks more finished

Such fun fabrics! It's a very cheerful table runner, and a great stashbuster to boot.

Can you do it by hand I don’t use a sewing machine
