I could always count on Wal-Mart to find what I needed. <BR/><BR/>Old-fashioned girl, I had the same thought that it may be harder to find sewing supplies. But, at least Jo-Ann's seems to be in good shape. I do hope you learn to sew from your mother, anyway. My mother was a fabulous seamstress, and I wish I had put more effort into learning the art of sewing from her.<BR/><BR/>Julieann, I think the level of service depends on which Wal-Mart you're in. How are you feeling as the time for baby's arrival gets closer?<BR/><BR/>ElizabethMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429722263321739095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31982896.post-70311604803346156472007-03-16T17:57:00.000-07:002007-03-16T17:57:00.000-07:00I heard about this a month or so ago, and was equa...I heard about this a month or so ago, and was equally disappointed.

She says that it's getting harder and harder to find well-priced patterns and fabric.

They just built a new Super Wal Mart near me about a year ago with a really nice and big fabric section, too. I hope they at least keep the ones that are already in place. Maybe it would help if lots of people told them how much we appreciate that department!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
