Sewing room update

I'm sitting at my computer wondering if I will ever get used to the customer journey detail that Mailchimp has added. 

I feel a little stressed about my ignorance around getting it set up.

Out of the corner of my eye I can see my cutting table and little table overflowing with fabric and dolls. 

I think this is the real source of my unease.

I'll be tidying up as soon as I finish this blog post.

So why is the Customer Journey item so difficult you might ask? (Well, I guess if you don't do computers much you don't care.)

The visual on the screen is like a black box. I can't see which email is which and having to scroll down to see the whole thing means I lose count of where each email is supposed to be.

I just went back and worked out how to label the rectangles with the emails!

The sequence has gone out all skewiff for the first few subscribers. It is quite a steep learning curve for me but who doesn't like a challenge. I will prevail!

At least all the information is saved in the Newsletter Patterns and Tutorials folder so any subscriber can get it from there.

I still have a bit of tweaking to do with the new Basic A-line Skirt folder inside the main folder. 

I have to accept that everything is at least 80% functional. I have come a long way with my mindset and my confidence and I feel sure that I am not as stressed or worried as I would have been about something similar a few years ago.

The newsletter folder seems to be working well. It's not perfect but it gets my work out there. 

This is what it looks like.

Subscribers get the link to access the folder and download any of the files.

I apologise to the few who got the 50% working email sequence. It should be all fixed now.

I'm just about to put all my fabrics in the cupboard and get onto some more sewing.

Happy Doll Dressmaking,

Val

P.S.

Much better.

It's a bit tricky to keep it tidy. I am waiting on book shelves to go along that whole wall. The bookshelf that is there will go in another room.
