Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts

I don’t think I have ever seen such rude staff. I cannot believe the disrespect I received and witnessed be given to others is ludicrous. I love Joanns but this store is a disgrace to the name.

Those who have the Unilocal app probably see me check-​in this store a lot… I just love crafting with ribbons, beads, and FABRIC. As always they have a great selection of fabrics from designer series to fleece and vinyl and even sequined fabrics. They also have more of a selection with their ribbons and trims than Michael’s does. They carry the snazzy fringe and embroidered ribbons, too.
I don’t know if any of you remember how Wal-​Mart back in the day used to have a great big bin of fabrics on sale and also returned/​last remainder fabrics on clearance? Our local Walmart RARELY does this and when they do, it’s an itty bitty bin of crap fabrics. Jo-​Anns always has interesting and great fabrics on clearance in their Red Tag Fabric aisle and clearance bins.
Also, if you do have a phone and use it for discounts, do download their phone app if you haven’t already, for even more coupons on-​the-​go so that you can use to get even a better deal with your purchases. Some are 50% off coupons!

Sooo many memories of my mom dragging me along to these fabric stores and yesterday we revisited said memory– this time though I was way more willing!
We came in search of buttons for a dress she is having made and she was quite pleased with the selection available! While she labored over buttons, I wandered around and found amazing pieces to build together many of the projects I’ve pinned on Pinterest. Prices are quite reasonable and there are soo many options for everything!
After locating the desired buttons, we moved on to fabrics! Saturday afternoon so there were quite a few patrons waiting but not too long of a wait!
Keep a lookout for coupons and sales to optimize your purchase!
Think it’s time to invest in a sewing machine and make things happen!

There’s another baby shower coming up and I had an unsuccessful attempt at Michael’s. The mom-​to-​be is having a monkey theme and there wasn’t a lot of variety there, so I decided to hit up Joann’s. Yay for doing that. I found some cute stuff for the diaper cake I’m making for the parents-​to-​be. There is a nice selection for all crafters to choose from.

After a failed attempt to find a wig for my costume, I decided to change it up and be a different character for halloween at the last minute. I found great fabrics at really great prices. I also found out that they have knitting classes! This store carries everything you need for crafts including jewelry making, cake decorating, knitting, crocheting and more.
