I think  JoAnn's
is getting ready to move in some new and different merchandise, but  I
can't think what.


Just visited the largest JoAnn's in our area, and it has been completely  
remodeled.  The apparel fabrics seem to be a fraction of what they used to  be. 
 
Home dec and quilting remain about the same.  Crafts has been  expanded to 
include a bunch of yarn, although there are a lot of holes in that  section, 
and 
the framing area seems bigger, too.
 
Even G Street Fabrics does not seem to carry nearly the assortment of  
apparel fabrics or trims that they used to.  I think they are pushing their  
custom 
home decorating business more.
 
I guess we just have to face the fact that people are not sewing apparel  
nearly as much as they used to.
