Sew Darn Sweet Review - June 2020

Sew Darn Sweet is a monthly box packed with quirky fabrics, useful haberdashery tools and inspiring sewing projects. We opened up the June 2020 theme from Sew Darn Sweet to help give you an idea of what you can expect to receive from this popular sewing subscription box.

Due to the demand for new crafting projects on lockdown and possibly thanks to the Great British Sewing Bee on BBC, the Sew Darn Sweet has become one of the most popular boxes on uOpen.

The uplift in demand has certainly been keeping founder Ellie busy, as she lovingly prepares each Sew Darn Sweet box from her haberdashery HQ in Whitby, on the beautiful North Yorkshire coast.

Let's take a closer look at what Ellie put together for the June 2020 theme :

Delivered conveniently through the letterbox in a lovely gift-wrapped box, we find a ribbon and 3 x unique fabrics from Makower's Stitch in Time Collection. Each fabric comes as a fat quarter.

A little pair of thread snips were included by Sew Tasty . Thread snips are often used as an easier alternative to standard scissors for precision cutting.

One of the projects inside the Sew Darn Sweet box was centred around making a small little case for these thread snips to help build up your haberdashery collection.

In total, 3 sewing projects are included to challenge yourself, including a very handy guide on making your own protective face masks from the material.

3 x project instructions sheets and a introductory letter from Ellie explaining the items..

Overall, this is a great little box which has been well received by subscribers. Ellie is working hard to include new inspiration for upcoming boxes, plus a special mention to husband Mr Oakapple, who does a fine job putting the instruction guides together.
