May 2024 Sew What Subscription Box Unboxing

[@lizwarnke4689]

Thanks for your video. I've been checking out all kinds of subscription box openings, trying to decide on what boxes I'd like to try. I've decided to go with Open Gate and the Sewers Club. I haven't received any yet but have been in communication with Sewers Club customer service because I really liked the May Box and I saw that the May project was in purple colors on Heidi Schmidt's (Dandelion Stitches) opening. So I contacted them and they've adjusted my subscription so it starts with the May box AND they said they'd send me the purple color way box!

Sewers Club has such great boxes (I get the Stash Builder), and their customer service is amazing. I had an issue with my account & they responded to my email lickety-split. The problem was cleared up within 10 minutes of me reporting it, and you can't beat that. Have fun with your new subscriptions! You definitely picked good ones.

I’m so glad you contacted SC! Their customer service is so great and quite honestly a good choice for a subscription box.

I love the honest and unbiased review of this box. I did gasp out loud when I saw the project photo. 😅. I also wondered if all the towel projects were the same.

[@fredmakesthings]

Thank you 😊 I’m glad you gasped because I nearly cried 🤣

That was close 😅 Good project I'll look forward to seeing this finished and viewers finishes if shared. Was thinking about cross stitch towels that I'd seen recently but liking this much better. Thank you, video just made my coffee break better.

I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊I like decorative towels, so it’ll be interesting to see how they turn out. I’m so glad that I didn’t have any repeat fabrics 🤣

LOL, yes, I knew EXACTLY what you were talking about. Couldn't believe my eyes when the project photo came into view! Thank goodness it didn't reflect reality, I might have had to either laugh hysterically or sob if it had been. It's particularly funny to me because when you opened the box & I saw the daisies, my first thought was, "Not really my style, but at least it's not the bird fabric!" The color of the terrycloth is gorgeous, and this is the best thread-to-fabric match they've had so far. The green fabric is lovely on its own, and the cream is the perfect choice to go with the terry. I like this project better than the first three you received. And even though the daisies-on-red print isn't quite to my taste, I do like it in the cream. There is hope for this subscription yet 🙂 (Edited to fix grammar derpage)

I nearly cried when I saw the sample photo. I just sat there for like a minute silently asking myself why, so I had to edit that out 🤣 I do agree that the colour choice of mine is great and the green is absolute beautiful. I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

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

[@fredmakesthings]

I think this specific project could be hand sewn quite easily but you might find some of the other projects to be a bit more difficult and time consuming.

The brown terry is awful.

[@fredmakesthings]

It wasn’t the nicest fabric I’ve ever worked with

[@virginialegault4699]

Still talk too much

[@fredmakesthings]

Glad to hear it. Thanks
