The Jones Family

She Maketh Herself Coverings is a home based ministry-business. It is run by the four daughters of our family (ages ranging from 19 to 30) as a cottage industry. Our purpose is to make Jesus Christ known and to provide a support and inspiration to Christian women and their daughters. We pray that you will be blessed and encouraged as well.

In 1983, the Lord directed the ladies in our family (all five of us!) to wear the head veiling in obedience to an ordinance in I Corinthians 11. We spent many years searching for an appropriate style veiling. We have worn bandannas and scarves in the past but found them uncomfortable for consistent, daily wear. We wanted a headveiling style that was attractive as well as comfortable and brought glory to the Lord rather than queries about denominations.

After receiving many ideas from friends and family members, we designed a style that was practical, comfortable and beautiful. Thus satisfied, we settled down to live our quiet lives . . . until the summer of 1994.

While attending a home education conference, our family was approached concerning our convictions about I Corinthians 11. Most ladies were wanting a source for the newly designed veiling we were wearing -- both ready made and patterns.

So our ministry was launched under the name, "She Maketh Herself Coverings . . ." taken from the phrase in Proverbs 31:22a, since the word "coverings" is the Hebrew word "marbedym," meaning coverlets, shawls, or kerchiefs made for women. Since then, we have found other veiling styles and accessories that have been useful. Our humble brochure blossomed into a catalog with more than twenty pages of ready-made veilings, patterns, hair accessories, and lists of resources and literature.

Our ministry grows because sisters send us requests for veiling styles that they would like to wear. If you find a particular veiling pattern (not protected by copyright) or a picture that you would like to wear, please send it to us;  we will develop a pattern for you and offer it to others. Your discovery may be an answer to prayer for another sister's needs.

When we were encouraged to begin this ministry in the summer of 1994, we had no idea the blessing it would be to us as well as to many dear sisters who were seeking the Lord's leading. What an encouragement it has been to watch God's ladies strive to be the virtuous women that He wants us to be and to submit to the ordinance in 1 Corinthians 11!  We have appreciated the encouragement and input that have been received during the past five years of the "pressing onward" that is characteristic of the lives of God's people.

We look forward to hearing from you!
