Meet The Founder
In 1998, our founder Brigit hand-stitched a peace sign on the spare-tire cover of her Jeep Wrangler. Neighbors noticed. Requests followed. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, she turned those early asks into Creative Covers Inc. Custom patio furniture covers came first and soon grill island covers became one of our most requested makes.
In 2007, Hector joined after a career as a corporate executive in healthcare, bringing the business discipline to scale Brigit’s craft. When the first large order hit, family and friends jumped in to measure, cut, and ship—leaving the sewing to our expert team. That same spirit guides us today: Chicago craft, personal attention, and precision fit for homes, designers, restaurants, hospitals, and manufacturers.
Founder’s promise: “Listen first. Pattern precisely. Build it to last.”
Still us, just bigger: designer-guided diagrams, on-site measuring in Chicagoland, remote consultations nationwide, and U.S. production with materials we trust.

Design Philosophy — Why Custom
Form-fit protection that looks clean, tailored, and premium.
A great cover should disappear into your design and outperform in real weather. That’s why we build custom—never pre-fit covers. We pattern according to your measurements so the result fits precisely, lasts longer, and keeps your space looking finished.
Custom vs. Pre-Fit (at a glance)
- Fit & Function
Custom: Patterned to your dimensions; no sagging or snagging.
Pre-fit: One-size guesses lead to slack fabric, rubbing, and leaks. - Longevity & Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Custom: Correct tension and climate-matched materials reduce wear and replacements.
Pre-fit: Premature failure from abrasion, UV stress, and poor drainage. - Aesthetics
Custom: Straight, level hemlines; aligned seams; fasteners placed where it works and looks clean.
Pre-fit: Bulky corners, uneven drops, visible straps where you don’t want them. - Climate Match
Custom: Material and fastener choices tuned for sun, salt, snow, or heat.
Pre-fit: Same fabric everywhere, regardless of conditions. - Ease of Use
Custom: Thoughtful openings, pulls, and placements make on/off simple.
Pre-fit: Wrestling, re-centering, and frequent adjustments. - Documentation & Reorders
Custom: Your pattern is saved for easy reorders or updates.
Pre-fit: Start from scratch every time.
Values & Responsibility
Make fewer, better covers. We design for the long view—fit that prevents wear, construction that can be refreshed, and choices that reduce waste.
Longevity > Landfill
- Built to last: climate-matched fabrics, reinforced stress points, and clean patterning that prevents abrasion, sagging, and water pockets.
- Repairability, when it makes sense: restitching, patching, and panel replacements extend service life.
Local Craft, Small-Batch
- Chicago-made, one by one: every cover is patterned and cut to your item—no mass runs, no pre-fit shortcuts.
- Careful packaging: correct sized boxes and minimal empty space to protect in transit and reduce waste.
Smarter Materials & Waste
- Samples from offcuts: our swatch kits are made from production scrap to keep usable material out of the bin.
- Responsible end-of-life for Sunbrella®: if your cover uses Sunbrella fabric, we’ll guide you to the brand’s recycling program so the material can be repurposed rather than discarded.
How you can help
- Request an offcut swatch kit
- Ask about a repair/refresh before replacing
- Recycle Sunbrella® covers at end-of-life
