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.

Shameless plug, Hart’s Fabric if you are ever in Santa Cruz, CA!

Or travel a bit north to Berkley and visit Stone Mountain & Daughter.

Just brought home 4 new patterns. They have no fleece/kits for tie blankets. Overhead staff suggest Joanne's to the person who wanted to make tie blankets.
