Anyone else devastated over this bankruptcy?? #sewing

2025/1/16 Edited to

... Read moreThe announcement of Joann's bankruptcy has left many in the crafting community in shock, especially amidst the discontinuation of the Smiles Rewards Program. Many loyal customers relied on the program for discounts and offers, and its abrupt end has raised concerns about future shopping experiences. The closure also hints at broader challenges faced by brick-and-mortar retailers in the current economic climate. In light of this situation, craft enthusiasts are seeking alternatives for supplies and seeking ways to support local businesses that share a passion for creativity. With the rise of online shopping, crafters are exploring various online platforms to continue their hobbies without Joann’s presence. Discussion threads across social media highlight escalating sentiments of disappointment and questions about the future of local craft stores and online shopping options. Crafters are encouraged to share their experiences and find new avenues for creativity, ensuring that their passion for sewing and crafting thrives despite these setbacks.

Bikini Boxes From Joann’s
I saw this and I thought it was so creative!! They had a whole display up with everything you need for a home made bikini box. This is such a good idea and could make people make them even if they weren’t thinking about it. I’m still debating if I should make one. Have you made a bikini box yet??
