It isn't because I don't have local fabric options, it's just that buying fabric isn't fun for me anymore. I have a sinful stash, I am a casual sewing lady, but half of the fun for me was the enormous discount I would buy the fabric at and now that I know how cheap it was for me to buy I don't want to buy fabric for even sale prices because our employee discount was so good.

Same with yarn but I crochet a TON, so I have supplemented that along the way but the joy is also gone there. I buy what I need and move on; no more cart fulls of multiple projects at once.

Any one else going through anything similar?

Hi everyone!

My first time posting in this sub, I bought 2 Joann magazines from 2005 on ebay and really enjoyed the nostalgia flipping through the pages. I am taking them to a local print shop to scan all the pages and wanted to put them together and create some kind of archival blog. Would anyone be interested in seeing the blog once completed? I am pretty busy working and traveling but can definitely make an updated post once completed.

A few years ago, my ex threw away my baby blanket after his dog peed on it and he didn’t want to wash it. He didn’t end up telling me that until I had been looking for it for weeks.

I have been thinking about this blanket every day for the past three years. It is butter yellow felt - ish feeling fabric, with blue stars and moons, and puppies sleeping on clouds. I also attached a picture of it. I know it’s not a great picture, but it’s the only one I have.

I have Google image searched for it and searched eBay and Etsy.

If anyone happens to ever remember seeing this fabric in the early 2000s please let me know where! It might be a shot in the dark, but I would really love to find it and replicate my baby blanket.

I think it was most likely from Joann’s bc that was our local fabric shop.

Or, if anyone knows of a place that I could get custom designed fabric, that would also be great.

Thank you in advance 🙏😭

Just curious.
