Thought I'd Lost You All Forever!
« on: February 27, 2018, 18:19:13 PM »
Hi everyone, I'm so relieved to have found you all!  :D
Some of you may remember me, I was a member on the TSF forum (balletmum). I didn't go on for a while as I'd started full time work and everything sewing kind of went out of the window.
I tried to log on a few weeks back and was mortified to find it had gone. Anyway I realised I had email addresses from a couple of TSF members and took the risk to contact marniesews who very kindly responded and directed me here where a few of you have now joined.

I've changed my username to Lolli as my husband and I have become grandparents......I'm Lolli and my husband is Pops to little Toby  :D

I still have the passion for sewing. it's my actual job now (nothing glamorous though lol). My youngest daughter is still dancing and so costumes are still the main subject I'm interested in. I still want to eventually make a tutu, want to learn so much more in all things sewing and patterns.....and I now have my own sewing room. All decorated with all my sewing bits and bobs all in one place.

It's great to be back!!

Welcome back, Lolli. Yes we went through some angst when TSF suddenly disappeared last year but Fran, Iminei and MrIminei set TSP up and it is fantastic and we love it. You will recognise many people including me I hope!

I certainly do remember you! How fab of the former members of TSF to set this up, well done to those who've put the work in. I'm sure it's appreciated by everyone.....definitely me lol!

I couldn't have gotten as far as I did with the costumes I made without the help of everyone on the forum. From being an absolute beginner, never using a sewing machine before or even knowing what the symbols on a pattern meant haha  0_0

Hi Lolli - I'm one of the new faces on here, although I was a long term lurker on TSF. This forum is great - you'll love it, so enjoy. <3

Hello again Lolli!  :D
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.
