Lightweight Pellon® SF101 Shape-Flex® 20" Woven Cotton Interfacing is a go-to fusible for adding clean, tailored structure to garments and craft projects without making fabrics feel stiff. This all-purpose woven, fusible interfacing delivers crisp support for collars, cuffs, yokes, pockets, and facings, and it's also a favorite for adding lasting stability behind needlework and punch embroidery. Made from 100% cotton, Shape-Flex is designed for light to medium woven and knit fabrics like oxford cloth, chambray, gingham, flannel, and poly/cotton blends. It measures 20" wide and is sewing-machine safe, with easy care: machine wash warm, tumble dry medium (or dry clean) and iron on the wool/steam setting. For best results, pre-shrink by soaking in warm water about 10 minutes, gently squeezing out excess water, and air drying—avoid washing or drying it by itself to help protect the adhesive.

Hi, I'm Chelsea, and I am passionate about sewing. I had the great fortune to take sewing classes during high school from one of the best seamstresses I've ever known. She didn't realize it at the time - but her influence and teaching have shaped the rest of my life. That was over 25 years ago and I have been creating and learning ever since. If there is one theme that has consistently run through the fabric of my life, it is sewing.
In recent years, sewing has been making a comeback in a big way. However the number one thing I hear from new sewists is that they just have no idea where to begin. That's where I come in.
My goal is to make sewing approachable and attainable to ALL people, no matter their experience, budget or location. You can find me on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube creating bite sized bits of sewing content to help you along your sewing journey. I am also available for one-on-one consultations or virtual sewing lessons if you just need someone to sit with and guide you as you learn to navigate your new hobby.

Omg! This box is sewwww awesome! I’m in my bag making era of quilting and this box is the JACKPOT! plus you get a free sew along on YouTube with the Ambassador Chelsea Porter ! Love love this and can’t wait to make the pouch! It has everything you need and CUTE fabric! Thank you SewingPartsOnline and tell Bob I said Hi lol
Easy to follow instructions!
So much fun. Learned a lot and the materials were great to work with.
This is the cutest bag! So easy when watching video. Love it!
Absolutely LOVE THIS little project!! I need more of this fabric!!!
I watched She Sews Seams (Chelsea). Highly recommend watching her YouTube channel. She broke it down step by step. I look forward to other ambassador boxes!!
It was a reward sew along with Chelsea from side sews seem. She walks you through every step.
Had so much fun making this bag. A bit challenging around the corners but I enjoyed my 1st experience making this bag. I plan on making a lot more
The bag was really fun to make and when my family saw it, they all wanted one! I love that the kit had everything I needed to complete the bag.
I purchased this for my granddaughter who is looking for a hobby. I thought it had the basic sewing supplies to get started and the directions seem straightforward. I was tempted to keep it for myself because I love the fabric that came with it! I may just pickup some fat quarters and make me a bag too! I haven’t given it to her yet, but hopefully she likes it as much as I do!
It's beautiful and everything but I'm a senior recently Widow and I've learned to be frugal and I would love to make it but I can do it a whole lot less than that and I understand you got the kit all put together nicely but it's just a little expensive
Beautiful fabric, supplies altogether
Hi ! She Sews Seams told me about Sewing Parts Online, how they aren't just for buying sewing machine accessories. I had to check it out. Great selection and fabrics too! She Sews Seams has a tutorial/sew along for this pattern, so I was excited to order and receive this ambassador box with fabric and pattern ready to go plus everything you need to complete the job : the stabilizer foam, matching thread and zipper. Love the Klase' stork scissors too. You can count on me coming back again and again :) Angela
I love my ambassador box by SHE SEWS SEAMS. I'm not finished yet, but it's awesome! I loved everything in the box. The fabric is beautiful and it is usually a type of fabric that I don't buy. I'm so glad that I got it, and now to finish it up. Thank you SEWING PARTS ONLINE, for sharing your items and talent with us.
Makes it nice when everything is in the box that you need. Easy to follow directions. Makes a nice gift for someone.
The Fabric is Beautiful I appreciated the additional items to be able to do the project
Love the ambassador box
Still working on it, but the instructions and videos are the best!
Easy, simple and adorable
Excellent box. Loved the fabric and easy to follow directions. Everything needed was included. Turned out perfect.
Loved that everything was in the box.and the tutorial that Chelsea made to help with making the bag.
I love the fabric and all the goodies in the box. Chelsea is amazing and I love sewing along with her so it was a no brained to buy this! Can’t wait to make this!
Everything that you need to make this project was in the kit. Fabric was beautiful and well matched. I would like to see more kits like this!
Disappointed in the contents of this box. I thought it would be like other boxes I have ordered for the $99.00 price point and that it was just on sale. Which is a big part of why I ordered it. Would be skeptical about purchasing in the future.
Love how She Sews Seam made an Ambassador Box. Can't wait for the YouTube tutorial!
Love she sews seMs!!
I absolutely love my box. It was packed full of awesome things. Can’t wait for the next one!
I love the fabric and all the goodies in the Ambassador Box. I can't wait to make it!
I'm excited to start this project - still deciding which fabric to use where...the fabric is beautiful and I'm looking forward to making a beautiful bag. Of course, the scissors are fabulous! Chelsea/She Sews Seams is my absolute FAVORITE in my sewing journey!
I follow Chelsea from She Sews Seams and when I saw her short for her Ambassador Box I knew I had to order. The box came earlier than expected and I'm just waiting for Chelsea's sew along. The fabric colors are beautiful, and the kit came with everything needed for the project just as advertised. Once I complete my project I'll upload a photo.
I ordered this with some material and not only did you rejection long but when I called in you blew me off. I didn't appreciate that. Im not happy with the service I recieved.
Too expensive!
I love it but I live in Western Australia the money difference and postage is too much for me I’m on a carers pension looking after my son
Just received this. I am excited to get started
I love the package I received. I haven’t done the project yet but hope to soon.
I love all the materials, I just haven’t had time to sew it together yet !!!!
Great package, looking forward to making this. Thank you.
Ot was a challenge for me. It turned out good. Love it.
Too Expensive 💵💵💲
Love it!
