Yay! My order for fabric from Scotweb finally went through!

I ordered 1 meter of PV McPherson red modern with my points, so all I'm paying is shipping.

What do I plan to make with my fabric you ask?

Well as some of you probably know already, I'm expecting another baby (gender unknown) and I enjoyed wearing my daughter around in this sling. (yes that is a bagpipe charm on my necklace, lol)
So I made this one to wear to Scottish events


But I've always wanted a sling in my clan tartan, so now the new McBaby gets to be carried around in style!

What a wonderful idea a MacBaby tartan sling. My daughter is expecting and I will consider making one for her.

What a wonderful idea. We're too old to have a bairn, but there are always grandchildren, I hope.

Ahhh! The Jones is worse!
I got an email on the 22nd telling me that my fabric has shipped. Ahhhhhh! I thought that would decrease the jones not increase it 300%

Does anyone have experience ordering something from Scotweb and having it shipped Royal Mail small packet? How long did it take?

When I looked at Royal Mail's international services one said about 3 days to the US and the other said 30. I'm languishing away here!

In the mean time, I made an onbuhimo carrier for my 22 month old and for the decorative trim, I used sample swatches of MacPhearson red from Marton Mills' Keighlyey range to tide me over. It worked for about a day.
I'm pretty proud of it though. I embroidered some bagpipes on it because I thought it needed something.



Although every once in a while, I'll wear both my kids if I have to (one on front and one on back) most likely my husband will be wearing her and I'll be wearing the new baby. *

About 7-10 days from order to receipt, in my case. Looking forward to the results.
