FAQs

What is a Sewing Box Subscription?

A sewing box subscription is a specially curated package that contains all the materials and instructions you need to complete a creative sewing project. With a subscription, you'll receive a new sewing project and videos, along with all the necessary supplies delivered to your doorstep each month for 4 months. It's a convenient and fun way to learn and practice hand sewing skills while creating a variety of projects.

How does the subscription box timeline work?

It's simple! Your subscription starts when you sign up. And lasts for 4 months. If you purchase before Wednesday I'll post the first kit on Thursday or Friday that same week. Otherwise it’ll be shipped the following week.

You'll receive your login details and access to videos for the first month straight away. And your next project will be sent 4 weeks after the first, with the videos available then too.

Just keep in mind, postal times can vary, especially during peak seasons.

When are the subscription boxes sent out?

I pack and post on Thursdays or Fridays each week. Purchase before Wednesday to have it sent that same week. Otherwise it’ll be sent the next Thursday or Friday.

What materials are included in the subscription sewing boxes?

I'm passionate about minimising waste. I make every effort to source materials from deadstock and recycled sources. Your kits will feature a mix of old and occasional new fabrics for your creative projects. I embrace slow fashion and upcycling and I'm thrilled to have you join me in this journey.

What age group is this subscription designed for?

These subscription boxes are aimed at tweens and teens, designed to empower them with sewing skills. The projects are structured to need as little parent help as possible, thanks to my beginner series video library which are included for free. But, you're the expert on your child and can decide the level of guidance they need.

If you have a younger child who's interested in sewing, I recommend sewing with them to begin. This not only boosts their confidence but also allows you to gauge when you think they're ready to go solo on their sewing adventures.

You know your child best and your guidance will be instrumental in their creative journey.

What if my child needs assistance with a project?

I’m here to support you both. If your child needs help, my beginner series video library provides step-by-step guidance. I recommend watching the videos together the first time, so you can offer help if needed. Sewing can be a fantastic bonding experience!

If that fails, reach out via email or message me on socails (Insta is preferred @positivelysew) to provide feedback so I can continue to improve the experience.

How eco-friendly is the packaging?

I'm committed to reducing our environmental footprint. I try avoid using plastic in your parcel whenever possible. I use recycled paper to wrap your projects and it's my aim to make this scraps of fabric within time. I'd like to make this a guilt-free, eco-conscious experience for you and your child.

Can I buy a single box without committing to a subscription?

Certainly! I’m working on making single boxes available soon, providing you with flexibility to explore my creative projects before deciding on a subscription. Stay tuned!

How can I reach out for support or ask questions about the projects?

I’m always here for you. You can reach out via email [email protected] or socials @positivelysew and I’ll do my best to respond promptly. Your questions and feedback are valuable to me and I’m committed to making your sewing journey enjoyable.

Can I cancel my subscription?

You pay upfront for the subscription at the time of purchase. I pack and post weekly. If you change your mind, cancellations are only accepted if your first box hasn't been sent and I receive email notification by Tuesday. Life happens, I aim to help. Refunds may take a week to process.

Do I need to purchase any sewing supplies separately?

Not at all! I've got you covered. Each month's subscription box includes all the supplies you'll need for the project. I understand that life can get hectic and the goal is to keep your sewing journey as hassle-free as possible. Everything you need will arrive at your doorstep, so you can dive right into the creative fun.

Can I continue my subscription after the 4 months have finished?

I am already hard at work on the next subscription box as you read this. Your feedback is so valuable to me and I'm eager to hear your thoughts. By reviewing and providing feedback, you help me make coming boxes even more enjoyable. Let's keep this creative journey going!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"I had the pleasure of being taught by Selina from Positively Sew a while back. I wanted to understand some basics of sewing and using patterns. We made some beautiful pieces I still wear today. I received practical tips and advice. The best part was actually the confidence I discovered after the lessons when I found I could do things on my own at home without instruction. Selina teaches in a fun and kind manner and I was always excited to go and work on the next project. Learning at any age is just brilliant and Selina made it a wonderful experience for me. I would highly recommend her to adults and children who want to learn this incredible skill"
