Not me panic buying fabric since my main fabric retailer (Joann’s) is completely closing all of their Pittsburgh stores.
For all who have reached out, thanks for your kind words of encouragement and local intel on small, local fabric stores that I didn’t even know about. I don’t currently envision an impact on my small business but I will definitely communicate any changes if I start to run into access issues. Just a reminder though, like myself, small businesses prices are higher than most big box stores because it’s a small team running the show. Also, many small fabric stores source fabric from ethically responsible companies which means, you guessed it, costs more money!
Here’s to pivoting slightly in 2025!
If you know of any quilting shops or small boutique fabric stores drop their business names in the comments. I know of already as I have purchased fun quirky patterns from them. Also, .bug shared with me recently! They don’t have to be located in Pittsburgh! I will take any recommendations! 🥹
Also, in case you are curious… I will most likely work through the majority of this fabric mountain by April! 🤯😳
