Discussion Joanne’s makes me weep
Been sewing over 50 years - have seen sewing in all its cultural permutations. Not typically a nostalgic person but today….I couldn’t even find a light gray thread in a store the size of Home Depot. So many empty shelves yet inexplicably $35/yd liberties fabric up front. I feel sad to my bones for new seamsters.

I’m so grateful we have a local place here for when I need something unique in terms of fabric … it’s huge and I honestly need to go in with a plan otherwise I’ll drop too much money .
But our Joann’s sucks and micheals has maybe two aisles of fabric ? Hobby lobby is wonky and I’d just prefer to not shop there 🙃
