Covid-19 shut down leads to DIY magic, and Ewa Powell shows you how.

Charlotte, NC, March 19, 2020 – With the mandatory closing of schools, jobs and local shops, now is the time to get all those projects done that you’ve been putting off. In times of heightened social awareness and economic stress like these, it is more important than ever to continue to source things we need from local businesses, especially businesses that are built on conserving resources.

Award winning local fabric store, Modern Fabrics, has the answer for your shut in blues. Can’t get out? No problem. Go online at www.modern-fabrics.com and shop for the latest designer fabrics at 50% – 75% off retail prices, and take advantage of the additional 20% off sale currently running online and at the Charlotte location. The newly updated online store is easy to navigate, and allows DIY fans and interior designers, alike, to find the perfect fabric for their next project. Search by pattern, color, fabric type, or by the yard to find just what you’re looking for. You can also search by designers such as Knoll Textiles, Maharam, Kravet, Cowtan & Tout, Lee Jofa, Pollack, and many more.

In a spark of inspiration, to address the Covid-19 social distancing, Ewa Powell, owner and design expert, has put her prowess to work, and is now offering custom designed fabric kits. These “Keep Calm and Create On” boxes include everything you will need for a small at-home project, from fabric to trim. At $19.99 they are the perfect solution to idle hands and minds in uncertain times.

For larger projects, Ewa is available for telephone consultation to assist in narrowing down the choices for your project. For those who are new to the fabric world, she can walk you through the process from start to your project’s fabulous finish. Ewa explains, “Our online store represents a huge part of our collection. As an online resource, we update our collection with new arrivals every week and offer special sales on select products. These luxury products are often exclusive to design professionals. Modern Fabrics reclaims the excess material to make these products accessible to everyone.”

James and Ewa Powell tell the story of how they started their unique business model with the goal of preserving resources. “When we started collecting excess fabric, it quickly began filling up our living room and we realized we had a business on our hands. Since 2007, we have reclaimed bolts of unused fabric from luxury furniture companies around North Carolina. Modern Fabrics emerged from our home and now provides interior designers and hobbyists alike with luxury textiles that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Today, Modern Fabrics is the premier source for discounted designer textiles and leather. From intricate patterns to classic mid-century modern designs, we offer a diverse collection of the most economic and sustainable choices for your projects.”

Don’t let the Corona Virus, Covid-19 social distancing get you down, but rather take this time we have been given to create and restore beautiful things, making your own magic in these uncertain times.
