A nice slideshow featuring from an article published in the Salisbury Post Newspaper featuring Liz and Torq'd clothing (1:12 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyTs23wYnEc

In 2017 she started the Torq'd Clothing line. It is work ware for women with a feminine twist. She wanted to create Torq'd clothing after trying to find durable work clothes that are designed for females. She is currently in the middle of developing version 2 of the pants after her first batch was not exactly what she wanted them to be. The factory is projecting the second version to be completed by mid-July 2019. The sizes that will be offered range from size 2 to size 16. Torq'd clothing currently offers shirts and jackets on their website (https://www.torqdclothing.com/pages/about-us ). The shirts include sayings geared towards female mechanics with sayings like "Not sure if that's grease or mascara" and "love/hate relationship with gear oil".

What themes and advice would you like to share with the Femcanic Garage audience?

"Defy the odds no matter what others tell you, always remember keep the positive thoughts over the negative thoughts. Also always remember to keep your head down and work hard, ignore the comments when people are mean it's because they are jealous of what you have or the attention you are getting. If you work hard and do your job the best of your abilities people will notice even if you don't think anyone does."

~Liz Prestella
