I like your Friday sews! Good job! I hope now everyone will band together to save JoAnns. When I started sewing, JoAnns was my go-to but I'm more of a quilter so I've moved toward quilt stores for fabric but still visit JoAnns every so often. After hearing the news of their filing, I'm trying to support them in every way I can. The shelves have been empty for at least a year at my local store and customer service sucks but I'm tring to grin and bear it because I don't want to have hobby lobby/michaels/walmart to be my options. JoAnns once was THE PLACE to go and I hope we see that day again. ❤

Hi Lisa! That hedgehog fabric is going to look so cute as pajamas! I made S9532 view A for one of my dogs and also found the neckband to be too wide. It was the first time I tried putting clothes on him and he was not interested in that AT ALL so I never bothered to try and remake one to fit better. Glad you were able to make some adjustments to your swim top to make it wearable for you!

That makes me relieved the pattern turned out the same for you, too.

Some of the workers at my Joann's says not to worry, they have had "restructuring" before. I guess we shall see!! I would also hate to see them go, but I would like to see them have better quality fabrics, too.

The JoAnns here on Staten Island (NY) closed up years ago leaving no place to buy sewing supplies. We just got a Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago but they do not sell patterns.

I think simplicity.com does have pattern sales sometimes, keep an eye out so you can still catch a deal!

Hi Paula! Happy Easter! Yes, I am scared that its becoming more online. I like to see and touch the fabric. Plus, sometimes I do want to shop in person.

The craft section was just like that in our Walmart in Canada. We used to have an actual fabric cutting section, and almost 1/4 of the store was craft related items. Then they brought in the cheap rolls of fabric like you have, which was exciting, then a couple of years after that, the fabric cutting section left, but there were still 3 aisles of crafts and a small section of fabric rolls. Then they disappeared and we had one aisle of all crafts. Now I think we might have the equivalent of 2 aisles, but it's hard to tell because they are a bunch of short partial aisles spread out in different spots. They brought back rolls of fabric, but it is quilting cotton and upholstery fabric, at much more money than at the fabric stores and not as great a quality. I'm not sure what they are thinking. I never see anyone buying them, whereas when they had the fashion fabric at a reasonable price (not as inexpensive as at your stores, but still good), you always saw people in that section filling up their carts with fabric and other craft things. Maybe people just stopped buying all of a sudden and that's why it got taken away? But I feel like people are doing more crafting and sewing again now. So I would think they, and craft/fabric stores in general, would be doing better now.

You hit the nail on the head-- that is exactly how I remember it! There would always be tons of people at the cutting station and sometimes a line. Lots of customers always in our walmart, but then it was gone. I agree, I think there is a resurgence of crafting and sewing making it "trendy" and I wish they would expand those sections again.

OK... I worked at JoAnn Fabrics and they have BEEN HERE before. They work out a restructuring plan and most stores go on if they are currently making a profit for the company. I am not worried about my local store at all as it has survived ALL previous bankruptcy/ restructuring plans.

Thank you-- that is helpful to know! To be honest, that gives me a sigh of relief, too! I don't remember hearing about past restructuring, but if it was out in the news, it might have been when I wasn't really paying attention or not sewing or crocheting much.

I'm so glad your hair is growing back. I remember when I had my hysterectomy. The same thing happened to me, but you didn't notice it as much because my hair was extremely thick. Now it's just on the thicker side, but not like it used to be. Happy Resurrection, Day to you too. ✝️

We have nothing in my area but quilting stores if Joann closes. I'm hoping they restructure and realize that they are the only source for garment sewing in many areas. They need to stop being so diversified with artificial flowers and framing and home decor and focus on the fact that they are the main source for home sewers. I think they need to pick a lane and focus on the advantage they have over other craft stores and be a fabric store.

Yes, exactly!! I do have a quilting fabric store near me, but its only open Thursday-Saturday. Its nice and high quality fabric, but doesn't always meet my needs.
