And because I dream about this life a great deal I buy fabric and patterns and then they sit in a cupboard. They call to me when I pass by and every now and then I look in and stroke them. TMI???
So anyway. I also follow craft blogs . Like this one. I love her patterns and fabrics and books. Today I called in at the local Spotlight store and nearly fell over. Liesl Gibson has released Lisette patterns under the Simplicity banner exclusively for Spotlight. YEEEHAAAA!
I got this one. Yum yum.
By the way, the ladies at the Glenfield Spotlight sewing section have to be the unfriendliest and least helpful people I have ever come across. It's like the customer is there to annoy them. Today I murmured to the lady next me at the pattern bench about how unfriendly they were (after a sales lady had basically told me she was too busy to help me) and unleashed a torrent. The WHOLE bench was soon discussing the inadequacies of the staff. Seems I am not alone!

I agree I have had similar experiences in many a spotlight store (not always in fairness to some who work there) but I think it comes from the top - perhaps they view themselves as a bargain store and therefore have to invest no effort in their customers. I also take issue with the fact that many of the shop staff also don't seem to know how to sew and therefore haven't a clue about advice. .... anyway I hear you LOUD and CLEAR!!
Cute patterns! I was planning a trip to Spotlight this week.. I'll keep my eye out for some more patterns :) And I have to say that most of the Spotlight's I have ventured into have unfriendly staff! it really is like they don't want to be working there!!!
I just read your first two paragraphs and nodded along. Yes, that is me too! And I have also encountered several Spotlight staffers who clearly wish they were somewhere else...
That last comment was me, btw. I accidentally clicked anonymous. Oops!
