Hello and Welcome to my brand new sewing blog! I'm just a beginner but I really enjoy it and I'm getting better all the time! I'll document all my attempts here and hopefully will make a lot of cute things!
I just got a new sewing machine last Friday and love it so much! It is a million times better than my last machine so now I feel like I can really get going with making things!
Right now my only problem is that I'm waiting on my first shipment of gorgeous fabrics from gorgeousfabrics.com! I've got so many plans for when my beautiful new things arrive but Parcelforce keeps foiling me! Tell me, does it make sense to try to deliver 6 times during the week while I'm away at work and then decide to return it to the sender all the way back in the USA before they've even left me an attempted delivery card? Grrr, Parcelforce! At the moment I am frantically emailing and calling them trying to get them to just let my parcel wait for me to pick it up at the post office this weekend instead of sending it back across an entire ocean. Hopefully this will work out but they've done this before and my package ended up back with my parents in Atlanta before I ever even knew they had tried to deliver it here so I'm not going to hold my breath.
Later today I will post about my cute new bag and try to quit griping about Parcelforce!
**Update**
Hoorah! I have triumphed over Parcelforce! I called and they told me there was nothing they could do because they had already changed the address back to the sender and it was waiting at their depot to be sent. I said "So it is still at the depot? In this country?" and she said "yes, but it is waiting to leave". So eventually, after I finally convinced her that it would be easier to change the address while the parcel was still waiting in the depot than to send it all the way back to the US and then have to send it all the way back to this country, I got her to put me through to someone in the depot who was totally nice and immediately said it wasn't a problem and that he would schedule it for redelivery at a time that worked for me! I'll be picking up my fabric from the post office this weekend! And then I'll get started making all the things I have in my head!
