When I was a kid my mom would take me to the fabric store whenever we needed clothes. I liked wandering the isles checking out all the fabrics.
There were really cool designs. I also liked looking at all the different colors and thickness threads to choose from.
On the rare occasion I needed a new shirt I’d get to pick a fabric.
Nowadays I wear whatever free t shirts I get from computer conferences and I make the occasional visit to the fabric store when Maggie wants to sew something. Sadly the days of visiting fabric stores is coming to an end. Joann stores are having their going out of business sale.
It appears sewing has been in a long decline as Joann stores is the last of the fabric stores. Their main competitor Yardage Town closed in 2020. I will miss walking down the aisles and looking at all the lovely fabrics.
Now, don’t hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won’t another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
