Progress of in house designed clothes



Thinking aloud here...

Earlier this year, I said there were plans to design and make a small range of clothes to sell in the store, Bleecker Street Vintage and online. I made another goal to showcase the very small range (it's most likely going to be only 3 designs at this late stage) at the Adelaide Vintage Expo toward the end of August this year.

With only weeks to go, I only have one design graded from sizes 8-14, no fabric sourced, no cost per unit and no retail price. Do you think I'm getting stressed about it? Sure am!

The purpose of going to the Adelaide Vintage Expo was to show the new range...and visit a friend too I must admit ;-).   I have help with the grading of the designs now, but now I need to find someone to give me a hand with the production side too. In my mind, I wanted to make every piece, but now I realise sometimes extra help is required to get things done.

In saying that, this week is going to be spent  fabric hunting and finding help. I want my clothes ethically made, so contacting The Social Studio in Collingwood is one idea. If that fails, then I'll mak
e what I can, rather than put unrealistic goals on myself. 

Finally, I don't even have a name for the label either. Two names that have come to mind are ginger and Paul Angus  I like Paul Angus, as it's my father & grandfather's name. Another thing I need to do is use Survey Monkey so I can get my customers input on the label name.

Signing off!

EDIT

I've just created a survey about the clothing label name. It would be great if you could take some time to complete it for me. Thanks!
