After more than 80 inspiring years, Joann Fabrics—a true cornerstone of the crafting and sewing world—will be closing its doors.
As a beloved fixture in countless communities, Joann has left an indelible mark on the hearts and homes of makers, dreamers, and doers across the country. We at Stitch N Sew Fabrics join the entire crafting world in offering heartfelt thanks and admiration for the joy, inspiration, and community Joann has cultivated over the decades.
For generations, Joann Fabrics wasn’t just a place to buy thread or fabric—it was a creative haven. A place where ideas blossomed, where first-timers were encouraged, and seasoned creators found the materials to bring their visions to life. From their humble beginnings in 1943 as a family-run shop in Cleveland, Ohio, Joann grew into a household name, empowering millions through creativity, education, and generosity.
Their impact reached far beyond crafting. Through workshops, school programs, and charitable initiatives, Joann Fabrics became part of the fabric of community life—helping people connect, heal, and express themselves through the power of making. For that, we are deeply grateful.
At Stitch N Sew, we’re proud to carry forward that spirit of community and creativity. As Joann’s chapter closes, we invite you to discover (or rediscover) Stitch N Sew—our newly renovated and reimagined store created with you, the maker, in mind.
Just like Joann, we are more than just a fabric store. We’re a space where creativity thrives—a place where you can feel at home. Our shelves are filled with thousands of fabric and ribbon options, including tablecloth and upholstery materials, eveningwear and everyday fabrics, an expansive selection of buttons and notions, and so much more. We also offer in-house alterations and expert support to help you bring any project to life.
Whether you’re a seasoned sewist or just starting your creative journey, our team is here to welcome you with the same warmth and encouragement that have always defined our community.
We honor Joann Fabrics’ remarkable legacy—and we look forward to continuing their tradition of inspiring and empowering every maker who walks through our doors.
With appreciation and open arms,
The Team at Stitch N Sew Fabrics
