You can try and contact support about paying your fees but it is an automated system so they might not be able to send you an invoice. They are usually very helpful though.
I hope you enjoy your sewing for pleasure and if you want to try the custom work again you could try advertising your skills at local schools around ball/ prom time or track down the local goth community (my goth friends always seem to be getting their clothes custom made to measure).
Thanks Sasha. I guess I will just wait it out until the next bill, then close down! (The goth idea seems interesting!)
I think bills are only triggered at the end of the month if there is more than Ā£2 owing so if your shop is empty you could be in for a bit of a waitā¦ If you really want to pay up and draw a line under it contact support, they are lovely people.
Good idea. Will contact them!
Now closed. What a relief! Spent a wonderful day making myself a white blouse with tucks and lace without worrying if anyone would want to buy it! And so pleased I can still join in the forums!
It is so nice to occasionally make things for ourselves isnāt it. Whenever I go travelling I always bring back a stone to turn into a piece of jewellery for myself as a souvenier of the trip (also acts a permanent collection to show people). Iām sure there must be some way of sharing your photos with us even though the item isnāt listed (ctrl G maybe to upload)
I know exactly how you feel! This whole making things to sell started out as a little idea a few years ago to make some extra money, but now I find Iāve got myself into the mindset of āhavingā to make things in order to keep my shop full and still try and make money. I had a "moment " like you and didnāt make anything to sell for a year, just stuff for myself and family. I bounced back last Autumn but looks like Iām reaching that stage again as Iāve made one sale in two months and wondering why am I spending so much time making things that no-one wants when I could be filling my wardrobe with my own designer clothes!
