  • True Red Ventana Twill - People often think of twill as a sturdy weave, like denim, but with the right fiber, it can be light and soft. This cotton twill is medium weight but is supple and thin, making it a perfect choice for this jacket. Plus, the stunning red is vibrant and bright. If you're looking for a twill that'll make you stand out, this is definitely the fabric for you!
  • Smoke Blue Cotton Canvas - We can't get over the color of this canvas! Deep, dark blue with a smoky grayness to it, the color is perfect for year long wear. Plus, in a durable, classic canvas, you'll be able to wear this raincoat for years to come. At 9 oz, the fabric is sturdy but still moveable, allowing you to feel comfortable. A fabulous choice!
  • Gold Ventana Twill - This twill is the perfect chino twill. Soft, flexible, medium weight, and 100% cotton, it's an ideal fabric for this raincoat. But what really sold us on this fabric was the color. Warm and golden, this deep yelllow is soft and classic for a raincoat. A simply gorgeous fabric!

Beautiful fabrics, not all patterns are size inclusive, website confusing and difficult to use

I loved the fabrics and pattern matches. But not every pattern in the 6 month subscription was size inclusive. I found it difficult to manage my subscription.

June Box

I was sent an email to review my June box. This is difficult to do since I have not yet received it. I paid for it on June 1, but have not received. I paid for May’s box on May 1 and received it in the beginning of June (and it did not include the number of buttons that was required to complete the pattern.). Overall, my experience with NeedleSharp has not been good. They do not respond to questions when you email and when they do respond it takes days and days and all of your questions/concerns are not addressed. Their website is not user friendly which adds complications and more reasons to email (to which you will not get good and timely responses.) I was super excited for this each month but already canceled- it was not a good experience.

Great quality but need some guidance

Great quality box of items. Everything is included for project and it’s what I consider to be high quality fabric, thread, etc. I personally don’t know that I need a needle since I am particular about what brand I use in my machine. I like that I could access the link to see some pattern steps…. For a beginner following the pattern has been a challenge. Overall good experience
