eBay My World: susan_sashiko( 903)

I am a designer and textile artist, author of quilting/sashiko books and I teach creative textile workshops. I used to live in Japan, where I learned how to sew kimono at my neighbours shop.

I HAVE CLOSED MY EBAY SHOP. IT SEEMS I HAD NOT INCLUDED MY ADDRESS EVERYWHERE EBAY REQUIRED IT, SO THEY CLOSED ALL MY LISTINGS WITHOUT WARNING. I THOUGHT I HAD GOT MY ADDRESS EVERYWHERE THEY NEEDED IT, BUT THE RULES ON EBAY KEEP CHANGING SO FAST & OBVIOUSLY I HADN'T KEPT UP! I AM REALLY NOT PREPARED TO SHELL OUT ANOTHER PILE OF MONEY IN EBAY FEES TO SET THEM ALL UP AGAIN, ESPECIALLY AS THEY WILL BE ENFORCING FREE SHIPPING AS A FIRST OPTION ON BOOKS SOON (THE POST OFFICE DON'T DO IT FREE!) IF YOU WANT MY BOOKS ETC. CHECK OUT MY OWN WEBSITE WWW.SUSANBRISCOE.CO.UK (ALL LOWER CASE OF COURSE).

I studied kimono tailoring at my neighbour's kimono shop when I lived in Japan, and can advise you re how to alter vintage kimono to improve their fit for you. Please ask!

I design, teach and write books on patchwork, sashiko and quilting. In the mid 1990s, I produced needlepoint kits and patterns on Japanese & British themes (I will be selling these off, as I am no longer producing new kits). I trained as a treatre costume designer as part of my degree and made bespoke costumes for participants at Victorian festivals in the UK - many of my costumes have won awards.

Please remember, P & P isn't just the price you see on the stamp - it has to include the cost of packaging materials and the drive to the local post office! For larger items I try to reuse/recycle postage boxes. Books and smaller soft items are sent in NEW packaging i.e. Jiffy bag or similar. Postage costs are based on the Royal Mail website as I send via the Royal Mail, taking the total weight of the package. I'm not sure how anyone could have been dissatisfied with P & p charges. More often, I end up paying more than anticipated than less!
