Love the panda jumper especially the way you color blocked it! Ralph is going to be the best looking dog on the street! 🐕💙

[@lovesredsews]

@@Jenns_creative_spot thank you so much 🐼

[@pennyemmett8007]

Oh Claire, I very rarely comment but just wanted to say don’t get upset about the ‘bad company’ you really don’t deserve that - you are such a positive person and kindly share so much - keep doing what you do so well and stay upbeat xx

[@pennyemmett8007]

Also love the ‘cow’ denim and the bias skirt will look great in the leopard print - do not worry about body shape xx

[@lovesredsews]

@@pennyemmett8007 thank you so much, that’s so lovely of you to say 🥰💜

[@susanjenningsjones]

I feel for you, what a terrible experience. Any genuine company would not treat their customers in that way. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@marygreen7225]

Great video Claire. Thank you. What an upsetting experience for you. I absolutely love how your pleated blouse is coming along.

[@lovesredsews]

@@marygreen7225 thank you so much Mary ☺️

[@estellalady5620]

I thoroughly enjoyed all that you had to share ❤ except the negative experience with the shop of course ! I love to watch the variety of stuff that you share on your channel. God bless the parcel delivery person to land at your doorstep just at the right time. We got to look at some more fabrics and the box! Thanks

[@lovesredsews]

@@estellalady5620 haha, thank you & you’re very welcome. Thanks for watching 🤩

[@pjacksreads536]

Nice job on the tops. I like them also. I may have to get that pattern

[@lovesredsews]

@@pjacksreads536 oh yes it’s a really good one. Enjoy 😀

[@judimccafferty8213]

You have convinced me to get that sweatshirt pattern. The panda one is spectacular!

[@lovesredsews]

@@judimccafferty8213 oh wow, thank you so much. I’m so happy you love it 🐼🤩

[@JanetteTaylor-q8x]

That was a great vlog Claire, you have some great fabrics and makes. I purchased the leopard viscose satin from Rainbow Fabrics a few weeks ago and made it into a High Cuff Sweater, it is such beautiful quality. Your experience with the fabric shop was awful especially when they were aggressive with you for telling the truth, please don’t dwell on it. Take care ❤❤

[@lovesredsews]

@@JanetteTaylor-q8x thank you so much Janette. The high cuff sweater sounds fabulous in that satin! That is not a pattern I own but I definitely want to add that into my pattern stash soon. Have a good week 🥰

[@Julie_sews_her_own_clothes]

Beautiful makes as always Claire 😍❤️ so sorry to hear you’ve had to deal with such aggressive tactics, that’s just so unnecessary and they have no right to make such demands. If they feel it fair to say flimsy fabric is heavyweight, then they should expect to be called out. On a positive note, Love your Drew obsession 🤪and I want a plain white version of that pleated shirt, it’s just beautifully styled. I hope you have a much better week ❤️😍 The Saturday skirt wool look amazing in that leopard print. I do love the darker leopard designs and so happy to see you got some of the houndstooth jacquard jersey, it’s such a lush colour!

[@lovesredsews]

@@Julie_sews_her_own_clothes thank you Julie. The Drew is certainly having its moment 🤩 I hope you have a good week too

[@judithfletcher287]

The drew sweatshirts are beautiful, especially the panda one. I've ordered the new Maison Fauve ressac sweatshirt pattern this time but maybe I'll be tempted later! Sorry to hear about your online shopping experience, very stressful.

[@lovesredsews]

@@judithfletcher287 thank you so much. On the Ressac also looks like a fabulous pattern, it’s very stylish 🥰

[@I_sew_slow]

Great video as always, I’m so sorry that the fabric store was so awful. I’m not the best with aggressive behavior, but I’m also not good at being told what to do either. You are entitled to have an opinion about a product that you purchased that didn’t live up to your expectations, in America we have the Better Business Bureau that as a consumer you have the right to contact about this company. You could also leave a review on the business’s website or google about the lower quality product and also their abusive Behavior. I would definitely have screenshot their response and shared that information on my stories (along with not removing my post) so others could know to avoid doing business with this company. They really should have just apologized for the situation and offered you a discount on your next order or a refund and been done. I pray that you have a great week ahead, safe travels for your hubby. ❤

[@lovesredsews]

@@I_sew_slow aww thank you so much. Yes I think that would have been the better way to respond. There is no feedback option on their website & they also don’t accept refunds. I shall certainly check for that next time ordering from an unknown business. Thank you for your kind words ☺️

[@caronlever2019]

Gorgeous Drew sweaters

[@lovesredsews]

@@caronlever2019 thank you so much 😀

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Glad you got the viscose satin from rainbow fabrics. That’s defo the same as mine 🎉

[@lovesredsews]

@@theyorkshiresewgirl it’s such gorgeous quality 💜

[@annettecowburn-sz8cq]

I got the olive velour from Jenny too. I made a hack of the vera top from forget me not patterns but instead of the v neck I used the neck and collar from the TATB Freya. It turned out great, perfect christmas day top.

[@lovesredsews]

@@annettecowburn-sz8cq oh wow, that sounds fabulous Annette 🤩

[@wendybingham]

Hi Claire great vlog. I know how upset you will have been over your material. I ordered some material and a £20 voucher for a Xmas gift from a well known U.K. store. The material was in the bag but no voucher. Can you imagine how upset I feel. I have emailed them and waiting to hear. They probably think I’m trying it on, I have never ordered from them before so they don’t know me. I’m very upset by all of this because like you I don’t like confrontation. Fingers crossed I get this sorted. Love your material, Ralfies going to look very smart. See you soon xxx

[@lovesredsews]

@@wendybingham oh Wendy, so sorry to hear that. If they are a decent company they will resend. Did you order a digital version of the voucher by any chance? I just wondered if you had it in your email confirmation. Otherwise you may be able to ring them as sometimes that can also help. Good luck 🤞🏼 x

[@gailh3048]

The Panda sweatshirt is my favourite but they’re all lovely. The Liberty tana lawn is beautiful and would make a pretty blouse. I like the bag pattern but a bag gets a lot of wear so a more robust fabric would suit it better I think. What a dreadful experience from that company. You’re entitled to give your opinion about a product (let’s face it they wouldn’t have the same reaction if you gave a good one). I don’t know if there’s a block feature on Instagram but that could be looked at. They missed an opportunity to show good customer service by their aggressive behaviour.

[@lovesredsews]

@@gailh3048 thank you so much, I love the Pandas too. I did block them on instagram as I didn’t want any more upset from them ☺️

[@sewjennysews707]

Wow! What a week Claire! I think you should name and shame that fabric supplier but understand why you don't feel comfortable doing so. That coral colour really suits you and as you said lights up your face. I love your dream wardrobe box and definitely have FOMO 😮. What pattern did you get for Ralph's jumper please? X

[@lovesredsews]

@@sewjennysews707 thank you Jenny! I did originally tag them in my stories but they were so horrible & aggressive/threatening that I really wouldn’t want to put myself through that again. 😢 The jumper pattern I purchased was this one from LilyLongnose (specifically for sighthounds); www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1311818819/xllm-whippet-turtle-neck-tshirt-pdf

[@julieannedearling3404]

I think the green velvet lends itself to a cowell neckline top to dress it up a bit

[@lovesredsews]

@@julieannedearling3404 oooh yes, that’s a good idea 👍🏼

[@shelleykearney4864]

I’m so sorry you had that awful experience with the fabric shop. However your other purchases are lovely. I’m sure Ralph will know if you don’t make his pjs up for Christmas 🎅🏼 ❤😊

[@lovesredsews]

@@shelleykearney4864 Thank you Shelley 🥰 Yes, your probably right about Ralph 😂 I’d better get making ASAP 🤣🤣

[@henriettejosephine]

The panda sweatshirt is fabulous. You would not find any this special on the highstreets.

[@lovesredsews]

@@henriettejosephine thank you so much 🐼🤩

[@henriettejosephine]

Concerning the 3 m store: I have ordered several cuts from them and they were spot on. Colours shown online are often not quite what you would expect. That is the problem with online shopping. Would it have hurt them just saying sorry for the inconvenience? Not very customer friendly!

[@lovesredsews]

@@henriettejosephine I know! I’m glad you had a better experience than me ☺️

[@annwilson4160]

I would name and shame the fabric company, they have got no right to treat like that, everyone needs to know who they are so nobody shops with them ❤

[@lovesredsews]

@@annwilson4160 thank you but I don’t really want any more repercussions 😢

[@janspenno2241]

I e just bought the drew so glad you’ve made it and yours are great. Did you do anything with the length?

[@lovesredsews]

@@janspenno2241 thank you. No, I didn’t change the length & I forgot to mention that I made the longer version not the cropped one ☺️

[@emma__sews]

You need to send that fabric back. You have the right to return it. You said it was pre cut so they should just give you the money back. I know it's not about the money but it's the principle. ❤😊

[@lovesredsews]

@@emma__sews thank you 🙏☺️

[@eileentarrant9876]

Sorry about that company in the long run it won’t do them any good it just shows that some countries can’t take criticism like us Brits so put it down to experience and put there attitude in the trash can 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@lovesredsews]

@@eileentarrant9876 Thank you & a great way to look at it. Thanks so much 🥰

[@caronlever2019]

Sorry about your dreadful experience, awful and you were completely within your rights xxx

[@lovesredsews]

@@caronlever2019 thank you ☺️

[@debtaylor2387]

Thankyou for sharing your experience. Not nice for you, i have considered buying from abroad, i will not be now. Shocking lack of customer service.

[@lovesredsews]

@@debtaylor2387 I guess they have different rules but I shall certainly be buying from our lovely uk shops in future 😻

[@india1422]

Those posts would have stayed up. Atrocious behaviour from that company.

[@lovesredsews]
