Hi guys,  It’s good to be back with another monthly newsletter and I hope you are all well.  Thanks again for your continued support - April has been another brilliant month, with plenty of orders rolling in and lots of new creative ideas in the pipeline.  You might have noticed that I’ve been working on perfecting my designs for trackies. I’ve now worked out how to do elasticated ankles and side pockets, so they’re all starting to take shape nicely now. Just need to keep experimenting with sizes and fabrics now…   

 

   

Regarding fabrics, I’ve done a big re-stock and added several new fabrics which you can view in detail here https://www.shinyshortzryan.com/fabric-galleries.html   There are five new shades of Pertex-type technical nylon…   

        

… four new options for regular ripstop nylon…  

  ...plus these four rather fabulous fabrics… 

 

I’m now running out of room at ShinyShortz Towers, so I’ll see how much of this I can shift before getting any more fabric in. That said, if ever you want me to order a small quantity of a particular fabric just for you (or send me some that you already have), I’m very happy to do this. For example, I recently ordered in some of this fab gold fabric from South Korea to complete a bespoke order which worked out very well indeed!  

  In between customer orders, I’ve been adding to the range of ready-made shorts on offer here https://www.shinyshortzryan.com/store/c19/ssr-ready-made This enables me to develop my skills and come up with new design ideas.   Here are a few of this month’s one-off ready-mades. If you like the look of any of these, or any of the design ideas in them, I can always re-create them for you - just ask.  

   Finally, I just thought I should mention that the new EU General Data Protection Regulation comes into effect on 25th May 2018. For this reason, I have written a Data Protection Policy, which you can read here: https://www.shinyshortzryan.com/data-protection-policy.html There is a link to it in the footer of every page on my website.  My site is hosted by Weebly and they will be providing additional information and assistance with GDPR compliance over the coming weeks.   To ensure your privacy and added security, as of June 2018 I will no longer send this newsletter out by email. It will be accessible instead via the News/Offers 

page on www.shinyshortzryan.com. I will, of course, email it to you if you ask me to do so, but it will always be there on my site anyway, along with any discounts and other offers.  Those of you who have already signed up to be members of the website might wish to double check your log in details and feel free to ping me an email with “UNSUBSCRIBE” in the heading if, at any point, you wish no longer to be a member.   If you have submitted photos to the Customer Gallery you might also wish to check that you are happy with them and with any accompanying text. I will change or remove any of these without hesitation if you wish - please just get in touch.   I think that’s all for now. Keep any eye on the News/Offers page and my social media feeds for updates and offers. In the meantime, do feel free to get in touch with any feedback or suggestions.  All the best and thanks once again for your support and custom.  Ryan ;-)
