I've been a huge advocate for wearing face covers during this pandemic, especially now even the CDC is recommending EVERYONE to wear a face cover when out in public! We all need them! Between my mother in law and I, we've made and donated over 600 covers to local healthcare professionals and we can not keep up with production! I then have yet another genius idea:
My in laws used to own a tailor shop before they retired and recently they've had a chance to catch up on the phone with a couple of her past employees to see how they're fairing during this pandemic. Their stories tug at my heartstring because there's now an unemployed single mother of 2, struggling to stay afloat after her employer closed the tailor shop indefinitely. There's also now a very stressed wife to a disabled veteran who is no longer bringing income home because she gets paid by every sewing job. There's a third girl who worked as a seamstress part time to put herself thru college and now worried about making rent next month. All of these are the struggles of local artisans who are seamstresses that's lost their way to provide for their families!
My thought is why not bring their skills to you by bridging the gap! I will provide the platform and collect orders from you all for them and they will make handmade 100% cotton face covers with an opening for a filter! I will get all of the fabrics to ensure they're all great quality and prints, they will do the work!
There will be 4 different sizes (women, men, girls and boys) and the prints will be mystery because I buy the fabrics that are available. Since they're a mixture of different seamstresses working from home, the styles will vary just slightly. Some will be over the ear loops and some will be ties over the head, I cannot promise which.
These face covers will be labors of love and you will be helping a local family survive through this pandemic. I THANK YOU for them! ALL profits will be paid to them, I'm making anything for myself.
**These are NOT medical grade and is not advertised to protect you from viruses.
**Please give us a little grace in production time because each cover takes some time to make. We are hoping to ship all orders out in 5-7 days**
