I've noticed it at my JoAnns too! But it is far from the range of Europa
trims that JoAnn's used to carry, just perhaps the best sellers.
I'm hoping that Wrights will pick up more of the line, but let's face
it, a lot of sewers are concerned about cost, and those fancy trims
aren't the cheapest thing out there.
Also, I also saw some blank spaces in aisles, that doesn't match up to
the usual vacant spots awaiting Christmas merchandise. I think JoAnn's
is getting ready to move in some new and different merchandise
I noticed the blank spots, too. Some had signs on them announcing
changes. There's a blurb in the current flyer saying "You'll love what's
coming. There's change in progress at your favorite Joann's store! If
you love fabrics & sewing, you love us for being the best... If you love
crafting, you'll love what we're doing for you. Discover the difference
soon!"
Which says to me "We're moving in more craft junk".
, but I
can't think what. In my particular JoAnn's(Omaha, NE)all those
Destination India fabrics didn't sell well,
A lot of what I saw was synthetic, makes my skin itch. Some of it I
could have used for exotic/middle eastern inspired costumes if it had
been a natural fiber, not like I don't already have a closet full of
dance costumes.
I think we are going to see a trend of less up-to-the minute
fashion and more styles and fabrics that will last more than a single
season.
I hope so. I haven't bought anything but notions since before Christmas.
I prefer classic, natural fabrics, not just for historic costuming.
