Fabric help?

[sierramist03]

I hate when this happens and it happens a lot to me at joanns. I know it won't help this time but if you get the information on the end they can search other stores for you.

It's brocade not cotton though

Try posting this on the Craft board. Some of those ladies are awesome at ID'ing fabric.

How many yards you need? Maybe emoflamingo and I can keep our eyes open for it.

Yeah, @callmefia, I could use a good reason to go to our new JoAnn's super store! (Yes, I still have not gone sierramist03.)

lol

I feel like if it's not at our store, it's not anywhere.... I go to the store at their corporate headquarters. (I've been looking for a job there for years now lol).
But if you find it take some pics of the end of the bolt! I don't remember how $$$ it is either so I don't want to ask you to buy any.

I'll try to make it over before it snows this weekend.

my store is only been open for 25 days so there still a good chance there! What kind of fabric was it?

I THINK it was in the home decorating area but not the big rolls of upholstery.

I took pics of like 5 fabrics that day to sink in and show my H and I can't really remember which ones were where.
I think it was a pretty heavy cotton but not sure.

I didn't see anything in the decorator weight cotton. Sorry!

I did buy myself some indoor vinyl and some decorator fabric remnant though. #lunchbreakshopping

sierramist03, it's not as great as the store in Shawnee Mission, but DEFINITELY an improvement over the two I used to have.

Doesn't help now, but in the future, when you're considering a fabric, ALWAYS take both a picture of the fabric AND the info on the end of the bolt. I've managed to find a fabric on Etsy after Joann's no longer had any by doing a web search

That is pretty.

I found some batik like stuff online, but nothing quite like that. Is that a navy background?

If you know the manufacturer and name of the pattern, it would be easy to find online.

That said, Joann tends to feature their more current stuff from their featured brands on rolls. If this was flat folded on a card, it could be a one off offering or discontinued pattern.

Another thought is to go through their swatch cards and see if it's in one of those. Or go online and shop joann.com under home dec by color or pattern- flower/foliage might turn this up.

Sorry, I did a reverse image search and couldn't find it. :-(

[emoflamingo]

You could get it in an apron!

I imagine if you send the seller a message, they may be able to tell you what the bolt said, if they bought it by the bolt.

[emoflamingo]

Or a shoulder bag!

(I know this isn't exactly help, but I'm finding these in my search lol.)

[emoflamingo]

And a skirt.

Give me another hour and you'll have this head to toe!
