MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! I am NOT a Techie! Nor am I a Computer Wizard! Those are TWO of the reasons this website is taking SSSOOO L.O.N.G. to construct and I am, very possibly losing VALUABLE time NOT creating Original Fabric Art to share with you (show you and sell to you!) and not being able to set this series of pages up for your perusal!
Having said that, what I AM, is a retired, disabled person, TRYING REALLY HARD to GET THIS WEBPAGE SET UP!!!! (smile)
This page has been up for a couple of months, and as far as I know, readable, but in a very sorry state. The same goes for my Yelp page. I’m going to enlist some “professional help” (with the website), although I could probably use it, too! (smile, again).
CovrThredz!, is, as some of you know, has the shape-shifted form of it’s predecessor, the original, or birth form, CoverThreads!. CoverThreads!, as I explained before, was used by two other companies, that didn’t come up on Google, when I researched it…AND our company was THIRD on the list(!) so, it HAD to be changed! When I asked Rich (my loving, patient spouse) the first time for a name for the company I wanted to create to continue making Covid Masks, (and more things) he gave me the original name, CoverThreads!. The explanation mark was, and continues to be my idea. To me, it makes the name more exciting! I don’t think it necessarily needs it, (to me the name and concept are exciting enough by themselves! 🙂 ). I just like the look and the “feel” of it there! 🙂 Getting back to the re-birth of company and name, when I asked him to help with re-doing the name, again, he immediately came up with the revision. He’s very intelligent, and clever…(he did, after all, come up with several ways of attracting me all those years ago…:) and keeps my attention, over 40 years later! 🙂 He doesn’t understand the explanation point, but I do, and so my “baby” was renamed CovrThredz!, and spelled the new way that he suggested…with MY explanation mark. (!) 🙂
As I’ve said before, and said just a bit further ^^^^ up there…my (our) company was born of a desire to help family and friends with Covid Masks. I’ve been doing that for over two years, sadly; but the fact remains that they are still needed. I was using a 5 year old Brother that Rich bought me for Christmas one year when Joann’s was having a sale to do that sewing at first. It was giving me minor problems, and I wanted to upgrade to personalized masks and other things, so a better sewing machine was in order. We went back to Joann’s and checked their inventory of sewing machines on sale. After about the third trip, and given considerable latitude by Rich in our budget, I decided on a Viking Topaz 50. I’ve never properly learned to use the embroidery part; although I’ve watched Sara from Husqvarna demonstrate it a number of times; (that’s happening in October) but, I’ve been able to make a number of masks and totes on it. I’m looking forward to making a large number of those and many other things on it in the coming days. I’m excited! 🙂 CovrThredz! also makes crocheted things like hats, bags, and scarves!
So…getting on to fabric for my “Original Fabric Art” and my rather awesome inventory…below is only part of, what I think, is really awesome fabric supporting the LGBTQ+ groups and those people with disabilities.
Above are fabrics I chose because of their vibrant color and Tie Dye patterns!
These fabrics are vibrant and colorful, and I think have beautiful patterns! They would make awesome Pillow Covers, Decorator Pillow Covers, Covid Masks, or really cool Totes! Also, someone contacted me about selling them fabric; which I hadn’t thought about before that! I am willing to do that, too, if anyone else is interested!
CovrThredz!
