So true. The only fabric store in my area now is Jo Ann.
Went into a Joanne’s about 2 months ago looking for denim.
First time in about 10 years I had been to that store and it was depressing. Fabrics weren’t organized by types i.e. corduroy, cottons, denims but by themes! It was gross.
Wandered back into the pattern section and found 3 women my age. We spent the next half hour lamenting the down fall of the home sewing movement and if you want to sew, cost wise, it’s now a luxury.
