How do you feel about the whole JoAnn Fabric's situation and the possibility of only getting commercial patterns by making a purchase online?
I live over an hour away from JoAnn’s Fabrics. I’ve become use to buying my patterns online for some years now. I also have a sewing fabric who use to get them for me when she shopped the sales and I reimbursed her. Thanking for sharing … FIESTA 🪡 🧵
Girl, I love your pattern choices!!! It is sad about Joann’s and hopefully things will make a turn for the best.
Thank you!!! I sure hope so! 🥰
Yes, i can tell by your face and neck that you are losing weight. Good for you! Love the patterns and all of the information. Ive been getting all of my patterns from the website for a year now. Thank you foe this video.❤
Wooohooo! 😃 Thank you so much! Looks like we will all have to now. Thank you for watching too !! 🥰
Great picks
I will miss Joann for my fabric and everything.
Thank you so much! I feel the same way. So sad 😞. I hope they can be saved.
Hello 👋🏾 beautiful T , i'm sew very 😊 happy to see 👀 ya , always , did you know , there is another McCalls mermaid style as well , is the other McCalls mermaid style , McCalls 6851 , the year of this mermaid skirt pattern is from 1993 & is similar to the newer skirt pattern 8558 , you will like that one too , it also uses stretch fabrics as well , i got it online , at fisrt i thought it was for woven fabrics , after i received it , i found out its made for knits only , i said what a bummer , it is a pretty made skirt though ❤😊
Thanks for the information. I've been on a "pattern diet" for the last few months but I may just have to go to Joann's to pick up a few. Take care.
You’re most welcome! They’re on sale at Joann’s right now for cheaper than what I paid. Happy shopping and take care as well.
I didn't realize that about Norris' pattern, that pretty cool
@@WDesigns I thought so too!! Thank you for watching!! 😃
Thank you for sharing this, because I am buying more from Simplicity website because my JoAnn Fabrics rarely have the new patterns, and when they do get them, usually 1 - 2 seasons behind. I feel bad for the employees who don't have time to clean up store, and put new stock out
You are most welcome 🤗. I feel for them too. Hopefully things will work out. Thanks for watching!
I love the patterns you got!!!❤❤❤Thanks for the info about Joann's. It was always one of my fav places just to walk around on a bad day, or when I needed supplies, etc. As much as my store has been a mess and shortstaffed for a WHILE (they still have aisles of Christmas stuff)I have felt so bad for the employees for always running around like headless chickens trying to hold the store together. 😢🙏🏻Hopefully the restructuring can pull them out of the hole.
But besides that, I went to my store today and grabbed a small bunch of patterns now that they are $1.99. 😊
Thank you so much! I totally agree! I’ve been fortunate with my store because they have held it down from before COVID through now. I picked up one pattern on my lunch break 🤭. I hope the stores are able to be saved too! Thank you for watching! 💕💕
Hi Talisha I feel the same way. Joanns needs to come down in there prices.
Hi Ms. Gladys! I don’t think they will… 🥰
@ it’s sad I was in Micheals today and got sad about Joanns. We have a Micheals here in Lasvegas that just opened up and they have a fabric department fully stocked.
And they are selling Simplicity patterns
@gladysscott526 That is great! My Michael’s doesn’t have fabric. Maybe they will now that Joann’s might be closing.
@@gladysscott526 😮 Really??
I'm sad about Joann's. I buy some items online, but there is nothing like the experience of going to the store and choosing fabrics and notions for my projects. Some choices are hard to do without seeing and feeling the fabrics and finding the right color matches. I love being able to stop into the store when I need supplies or want inspiration.
Absolutely 💯!! I totally agree with you. The touch and feel is very important to me and the color matching is too! I hope that someone or a company can resolve this. Thank you for watching!
Wow❤❤❤ I did not know about JoAnn not going to carry patterns. That is sad news 😢
Yes, it’s very sad. I personally don’t like waiting for things in the mail, but we have no choice. 🥰
i don’t know why this book is so hard to find, but after finally getting Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, i get why they don’t want this out there. it breaks down exactly why most people stay stuck, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. since reading it, my whole life has shifted. the secrets inside are worth the effort.
I heard that if they do liquidate it’s possible that the price of patterns could go up to regular price.
Welp, if they do that I certainly won’t be purchasing as many as I do because I have enough patterns to last a lifetime. I like to shop and the current prices are low enough to splurge. Thanks for the warning ‼️ 🥴🥴
Yes, We need finished measurements. Either on the pattern or on the website before purchase.
Absolutely!!! 💯
I was in Joanns last week and they had 4 boxes of patterns in boxes that were sitting for over a month. I asked an employee if she can check to see if there were any new patterns and she said she couldn't. I don't mind shopping from Simplicity, but they need to send the patterns in a plastic mailer. My last order my envelope came damgaed and retaped, because they stuff that poor envelope too much....I want the new patterns but I'm in no rush if they continue to mail them that way.
Oh wow! A while back, Simplicity would package them in plastic. I have also noticed that they are coming in paper envelopes which is not good for my 🌧️ rainy weather. My mailbox is not big so I guess my patterns would soak if I didn’t get to them timely when it rains. 🤔 Thanks for watching!
That's very sad! Lindsey from Inside the Hem put out a video on this topic yesterday. Apparently, the people at JoAnn's head office don't know anything about sewing and the company is very mismanaged.
Hi there! I haven’t had a chance to watch her video but I’ll make sure that I do because I believe she was employed by them at some point for private lessons. It’s definitely ashamed that after all these years, the demise is because of mismanagement.
i kept seeing people talk about this book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, but when i tried to find it, it was nearly impossible. took me days to track it down, but once i read it, i got why. the stuff in here isn’t just theory-it actually works. made a few small changes, and opportunities started showing up like clockwork. if you can get your hands on it, don’t hesitate.
I stopped by today to pick up some patterns for my stash. ($1.99 all brands but Vogue $4.99 until further notice). I don't like PDF patterns so this is a big blow. I really only purchased patterns from Joann. Now, I see a lot of hacking in my future since I won't be able to get the new collection 😢
@jessikaj.create That’s so unfortunate! My store has Simplicity and Vogue on sale. You’re the second person that said all patterns. I wonder if it’s posted wrong at my store… You can always check Etsy shops or EBay if you need something that you don’t have in the future or order online. Thanks for watching! 💕💕
Wait!!!! I read the sign wrong!!! Omg!!! I wonder if they’re scaling down?!?
i thought i had read every manifestation book out there, but Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane hits different. it’s damn near impossible to find, but after reading it, i see why. it doesn’t just talk about manifesting, it explains how to shift energy in a way that actually works. took me forever to track it down, but it was worth every second
It would be nice if Hobby Lobby would do their pattern sales again (like they did a few years ago) now Joan's most likely is going to dissappear.
I noticed a few weeks ago that they had patterns on sale unannounced. I’m not sure if it’s because Simplicity wants their old patterns sold or if they’re getting back into sales. But I agree.
When I saw the new Know Me patterns, I figured they would never make it to Joann. This is so sad and unnecessary. They refused to take customer feedback. Joann used to be my happy place and our nice local fabric shop closed last year. 😢
I’m so sorry to hear that. My last several hauls (not that I need any) have been from simplicity.com because of my store not getting them. That was the only place where I live that people could get in person lessons. I hope there’s a rescue. Thanks for watching! 💕
@CreativiteeByT Yes, I learned to sew at an in-store class when I was younger. I hope they can save it but, it's not looking good.
Oh wow! I hate to hear that about the patterns.
Me too! But I understand why. 😩
@ I understand also. JoAnn is all I have where I live. I would have to either order online or drive 35 minutes to Hobby Lobby.
@ I’m just so shocked that this happened after all these years.
It's so sad. You are absolutely right that with the closing of Joanne's, you can't touch the fabric or pick up something that you need quickly. The store that was 10 minutes away from me is gone. I now have to drive 35-40 minutes away on our Beltway, longer if I go through our city or back way through the county using backrooms. I have been sewing a long time, however, I still like to touch and feel the fabric. There are independent fabric store, but that's an all day field trip. A great disservice has been done. People who want to learn how to sew or who are new to sewing will have a great disadvantage of not having the opportunity to touch or feel fabric. I have the advantage of being a member of a sewing group, however, I enjoy watching presentations, such as yours , from fellow sewists.😊
@terrelleelizabethjolley-gr5093 Thank you so much. I totally agree. I will have to drive 1.5 hours to get to a fabric store where I can touch the fabric. Not having a fabric store close kind of dampens the whole experience. I do feel for those who want to learn due to not having the full in person experiences that we once had. Thank you for watching! 🥰
I am very disappointed but not surprised. JoAnn has been very different since after COVID. Prices began to be higher. The hiring of their staff has been questionable. The quality of the fabric started to fade. the customer service experience has been lacking. Lines extremely long due to understaffing. The staff they did hire seem to be clueless so obviously no training was going on. I could go on and on but we all saw the changes. I think we just hoped it would all work itself out. But if we are all honest…we knew this was coming😢
I’m so sorry you had to experience the possible demise as it happened. I think I may be one of the fortunate ones that’s had great experiences at my store. The main same staff that was there prior to COVID is still there and they have always been very clean and organized. It’s too bad, but I hope something can be done. Thanks for watching! 🥰
I don’t understand simplicity
They’re no longer supplying stores
And they’re no longer posting overseas
Can not imagine what this is going to do to the customer base
Are they winding down?
@@louisejeffries7155 That’s a great point! I totally forgot about not offering overseas! That’s kinda scary too! I don’t know 🤷🏽♀️.
@ thanks for the reply T
it really isn’t looking good
Some of these brands have been around for over 100 years now and if we are to lose them well it’s really disappointing.
I guess it’s a wait see situation
You have an awesome week and of course happy sewing
@louisejeffries7155 My pleasure! I definitely agree. I just hope this doesn’t destroy the industry altogether. It’s already slim. Enjoy your evening and have a great weekend!! 🥰
As an employee stop believing everything you see on the internet
My hope has always been that I hope the store stays open. I’m team JoAnn. 😊
True, but if you read/follow business journals.... pretty clear
Well, ALL sewing patterns now $1.99 and Vogue $4.99. Seem like a clearance to me. I guess there is some truth in it. Thanks for the post.
@iSerge2 I went to the store on my lunch break and Simplicity and Vogue are the ones that are on indefinite sale. I wonder if they will do the same with McCall ? Definitely take advantage of the sale! 😃
ever notice how some books just disappear? Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane isn’t easy to find, and now i understand why. the things it reveals about energy and attraction? insane. i thought i was just “unlucky” until i applied what it teaches. within weeks, my finances flipped, and i stopped chasing things-now they come to me
