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

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.

I survived the heat wave! I learned in field school over a summer in Italy how important hydration is, so I have been careful since then. The bag worked so well, it was tight to my body but still kept me from looking like a tourist. I have my stash builder on my desk and I'm itching to open it! I'm hoping to get it up on Monday but I know it'll be easier to handle it for wednesday. I am so excited for it, now that I know that you are so excited.
