  • Mustard Essex Yarn Dye Linen - If you're going to do shorts for summer, it's hard to resist the draw of a bright yellow. This fabric, a mix of linen and cotton, has a mottled weave with slubs of white thread. Combined with the golden hue, it reminds us of a bright summer's day. A dry hand and slightly textured feel make this fabric eminently wearable. We love it!
  • Cinnamon Cotton Twill - Nothing more classic than a pair of twill shorts for summer. This medium weight fabric is soft and supple, with a slight sheen. Plus, the muted reddish orange is just the right amount hue, not too bright, but definitely a pop of color to cheer up your day. A lovely, earthy fabric!
  • Charcoal Essex Homespun Linen - A mix of 55% linen and 45% cotton, this medium weight fabric has a full-body drape that will suit these paper-bag shorts beautifully. The wonder of linen is that the more you wash it, the softer it becomes. Plus, it's eminently breathable and durable. With a light gray hue, homespun with white warp threads for a heathered, this fabric is unique and beautiful and a great addition to your wardrobe!

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
