Our Walmart sewing section is getting smaller and smaller, alas. The manager claims it isn't, bur I think he fibs... I don't think there is any doubt about it. We discussed here a couple of years ago that many Walmarts are eliminating the department alltogether. A JoAnn's in our area has just closed, too. The big local chain here, G Street Fabrics, seems also to have cut way back on inventory. I have gone in with coupon in hand a couple of times recently and couldn't find anything I wanted to buy. A friend of mine in NYC laments that many of those stores have even closed Let's face it, people just aren't sewing like they used to. Project Runway has evidently caused a little blip among the younger folks, but it may not be enough! To the original post, JoAnn's had some "sari" cottons with metallic threads last year, but who knows if they will this year? I'm assuming you don't live in an area that has actual Indian stores. (We have several here in the DC area.) Ann Wass **************From Wall Street to Main Street and everywhere in between, stay up-to-date with the latest news.
