BIG
We’re into BIG – we craft BIG bodies, BIG shoes, big heads and BIG hats ….and we use a whole palette of colors!
There are industrial sewing machines, one heavy-duty treadle machine, called a “glover” and a1960’s era Bernina home sewing machine.
We have rolls and rolls fuzz & fabric, wobbly piles of foam, gobs of glitz, grosses of jumbo whopper poppers (the really big, strong snaps – and yes, that’s the real name for them!) and spools and spools of threads,
Our mascot studio is located in the very cool Stutz Building in Downtown Indianapolis, our studio has loads of light and plenty of room. It houses all the fuzz, foam, fabric, feathers and fleece, the basic elements that the mascot magic happen!
If you’re in town (living here or visiting), swing on by to feel some fuzz or shoot the breeze! We’d love to show you the the Avant Garb creative mojo in action. Give a call 317-423-2276 or shoot us an email:
