Reviewed by Michelle
Being an arts and crafts fanatic and already tried and reviewed Stitching Me Softly’s Friendship Bracelet Kit again, I could not wait to try out the Woven Necklace Kit. If it was anything like the quality of the Friendship Bracelet Kit, I knew I was not going to be disappointed; and I was not.
Run from her home in Bristol, Emma’s ethos stands out a mile and beyond. (Quote taken from Emma on her website) ‘Sustainability is really important to me and guides my decisions when choosing materials and packaging options. I have recently partnered with Ecologi and now plant 1 tree for every Craft Kit sold’. How phenomenal is Emma!

PRESENTATION BOX
A great start to find out that the box is recyclable. This is delightfully cute and packaged really well. It contains the following items needed to make the necklace:-
1. Instructions – Beautifully put together with coloured illustrations so you can see what you are doing as you follow the instructions.
2. 3 x 100% recycled cotton cords
What astounded me was the number of cotton yarn provided are enough to make 3 necklaces. They came in 3 different colours:-
1. Olive
2. Teal
3. Avocado
When choosing your kit, you have the option to choose 3 colours. There are 25 colours to choose from in total, just click on this link and scroll down slightly to see which colours they are https://stitchingmesoftly.co.uk/product/woven-necklace-kit/
The cotton cords are of an extremely high quality, they do not fray and is really nice and easy to work with. They are slightly chunky too, taking the cords easy to work with in terms of hold and grip
Rating: An outstandingly awesome 5/5 and Emma is awesome with everything that she does and I wish her much more success.
PRICE AND WHERE TO BUY
This is an amazing price of just £20.00. The price does not include shipping, further details are below for this:-
1. FREE shipping with orders over £40.00, otherwise £3.50 for UK standard second class shipping
When you think that you can make 3 necklaces, that works out at a phenomenal price of approximately £6.66 per necklace (not including the shipping cost if applicable). Very much worth the money.

WHAT MAKES STITCHING ME SOFTLY SO AWESOME?
Apart from what I have already mentioned above in my introduction to the company and Emma. At the time of when this review was submitted on 3rd February 2022, the company have planted 1,506 trees. You can find out more about this and how you can help support their project by clicking on the this link https://ecologi.com/stitchingmesoftly
You can even gift trees from as little as £3.10 for 25 trees, right up to 1,000 trees for £124.00. What an amazing project. Click on each group of trees and you will see the details of the plantation, where they were planted along with so much more information. I was mesmerised and it is something I will be sure to sit down with each of the grandchildren and show them. I will even get them to purchase some trees in their names too.
Such a great cause and I am blown away!
If I could give some constructive feedback, that would be to suggest some information within the package of contents explaining about the tree project and donation of tree with each purchase. If I were to gift a product, it would be great to have an information pamphlet so that the person receiving the gift would also know. It was only because I went on the website that I found this out. It is a great project and one I feel very passionate about and feel it could be advertised with each purchase, as I say especially if an item is brought as a gift.
Talking of buying as a gift, when purchasing items, if you are looking to purchase something as a gift, you have the option to have it wrapped with a gift message. It is only an extra £3.00 for this and makes it a wonderful idea and gives that little extra personal touch from Emma too.
