Talk About a Delay

Well, it's been a while, hasn't it?

I've been disappearing all over the place trying to get things set up to become a qualified costumier. This means I've started college again, studying Fashion and I've been applying to uni like mad! Currently, I'm eyeing up Edinburgh universities after I spent a week there back in October and loved the place. I'd be studying Costume for Theatre, so everyone keep everything crossed that all goes to plan.
Within Ava's Apparel, I've been expanding into freelance work. I passed 50 Etsy sales this month too, which is a great milestone. Somewhere between freelance work and the Esty store I can maybe afford to go back to being self-employed soon which is fantastic news.

So, down to business. What is it that everyone would like to see next year from Ava's Apparel? How about more dresses? More waistcoats and menswear? Perhaps you'd even like to see some of the design side of my work? All suggestions will be considered, as I've got plans to go back to having both the time and the money to develop new garments and even some one-off pieces. I can't wait to hear what everyone comes up with.

I've recently been a little bit enamoured with the 1940's, mainly because my hair is now long enough to force into victory rolls and pin curls, so please expect to see a lot of that coming through in my work. Right, best get back to making!
