Welcome to Ace93 Threads & Treasures Owned & Operated by April Canavan at the Kilburn Mill in New Bedford, MassachusettsHi, I’m April—the creator behind Ace93 Threads & Treasures. My love for sewing began at 15, driven by frustration with fast fashion and a desire for clothing that truly fits and lasts. That passion led me to study fashion design in college, specialize in corsetry in London, and gain hands-on experience through my adult career across a variety of disciplines, including:
Custom clothing
Corporate technical design
Formalwear alterations
Upholstery
Graphic design
Along the way, I’ve embraced art in all its forms, always seeking new ways to blend creativity with craftsmanship.​Upcycling holds a special place in my heart because every piece is one of a kind. I love the challenge of transforming existing materials into something wearable, and meaningful—whether it’s repurposing cherished fabrics or giving forgotten treasures fresh life.​At Ace93, my mission is to make people—especially women—feel incredible in their clothes. That’s why my pre-made pieces are listed by key measurements instead of standard sizing, ensuring you can find a piece that truly fits. And for those who want something even more personal, I offer custom-fit garments tailored to your exact measurements.​Whether you’re looking for custom bridal, alterations, or upcycled fashion, I pour passion into every stitch.​Thanks for stopping by—I can't wait to create something amazing with you!
