Just added a batch of singlets to the SLEEVELESS TOPS section of the Row West website. Lots of other ideas in the pipeline.

Stats can be fun.
Yes, a blog without posts is a sad and digitally wilted being. As of April 2012, Row West is incorporated instead of being a Sole Proprietorship. Officially, the company's new name is Row West Activewear Inc. This has entailed a lot of accounting adjustments (and painful expenses) - which is what much of April evenings and weekends have been spent doing. The financial data is pretty interesting though. Here are a few numbers from 2011:
Amount spent at Canada Post in 2011 - $7235 . I actually feel kind of patriotic about spending money at Canada Post. Plus I really like all the people that work at the Shawnigan Post Office.
Research and Development - $342. Weak. But I just can't find time to work on my new ideas for clothing. Have to trim my less efficient work to make time to finish that darn skort pattern!
Manufacturing materials (like fabric and thread) - $34 993. Not a bad year for Visa. But at least I get points that I can redeem for Future Shop gift certificates. Got my eye on that RC helicopter near the checkout....
The information I wish I had from every year of Row West, but just don't track, is how many articles of clothing I personally cut, put logos on and sewed. If I take an averages approach and do some dirty math, I can make a guess at around 3000 pieces of clothing. So I can make a reasonable estimate that in my life I've thus far sewn around 43000 pieces of clothing. Yeah, Grandma. Bring it.
