Occasionally, fabrics that are called classic are really just outdated, and fabrics qualified as "modern" may have overbearing designs. Unlike either of those possibilities, Bonetti Velvet Flock Linen is a fabric that both modern and classic in the best senses of those words.
Bonetti has a classic design in the sense of timeless elegance. It would be difficult to imagine a time when this design fabric would be considered anything less than beautiful. The timeless quality of Bonetti is also the key to understanding its modernity. This is a decorator fabric that - though it possess a classic design - can seemingly adapt to any fabric trends.
The very design of Bonetti is an intriguing combination of two very disparate elements: velvet and linen. While velvet has always been considered a sumptuous fabric of the highest order, linen has a decidedly more rustic appeal. Nevertheless, Bonetti successfully combines those qualities into one incredible fabric.
This most luxurious designer fabric is particularly suited to more formal areas of your home such as living rooms, dining rooms, studies, libraries and offices. However, it will look splendid in kitchens, family rooms and in other more casual surroundings. Furthermore, rather than detracting from your furniture Bonetti will accent and highlight it.
Bonetti Velvet Flock Linen is just one of the hundreds of decorative fabrics we carry on our online fabric store. There are many other fantastic fabrics that you can browse through in our Decorative Fabrics category. Here you will find some of the finest and most popular fabrics we carry. Regardless of what you are looking for you will find it here, from futuristic designs to the stateliest patterns.

When it comes to fabric there are many indications of quality, but few are as resonant and recognizable as the one word that serves as the basis for this blog: pima. Cotton is produced in many places and under many names, but pima cotton is one of the varieties which most stands out. Pima cotton and items made with it have a reputation for being of very high quality.
What makes pima cotton so special? Part of the answer lies in its strength, attributable to its long fibers. Fabrics with strong fibers produce apparel and home goods that resist pilling and are longer lasting. Pima cotton fibers are also very fine, so more fibers can be spun into the yarn. Therefore, apparel and other goods made from pima cotton also tend to be lustrous in appearance as well as very soft. This particular characteristic of pima cotton also allows it to drape more naturally.
At J&O Fabrics we carry an ever increasing array of pima cotton fabrics. These are designer fabrics at discount prices that can be used for anything you have in mind. Our pima cotton fabrics are available in an extensive selection of colors and designs, from dots to floral calicos.

Hey, that's an order. Anyway, around this time of year fleece seems to fly off the shelves here at J&O. What are people doing with it? Whatever they feel like, we guess. Fleece blankets make nice gifts and are easy to put together because there's not a lot of sewing involved. Just get yourself about 2 yards, bind the edges some way and you're all set.
A customer in our store in New Jersey once asked "What other material can I use for a blanket besides fleece?" For those of you who enjoy arts and crafts but aren't that crafty, our pre-quilted fabrics can be made into a blanket in a flash. In solid colors and prints, some have one layer of cotton with batting, while others have two layers of cotton fabric with batting in the middle. Basically, the two sided ones are premade bedspreads sold by the yard and cheaper than fleece.
Fleece is soft and oh-so warm. Sometimes when it gets cold in the store, us workers tie some of the remnants around our necks and 20 minutes later we're hot!
If your interested in making blankets for your loved ones, try mixing our popular polar fleece with a quilted fabric. Here's some coordinating fleece and quilted fabrics for baby blankets to grown up bedspreads.
Combine Bears Polar Fleece with Orange Circle Quilted Fabric
Or combine pink fleece with pink quilted; tan fleece with tan quilted.
Or do opposites, red quilted with blue fleece.
For a child's blanket combine any of our children's quilted designs with a red or blue solid fleece.
Oh, did we forget to mention our collection of fur???? J&O's faux Fur is also a warm and cozy material that can be made into a blanket. Did we forget to mention that? I guess we did, maybe another time. We're telling you J&O has sew many possibilities.
Every now and then at J&O we get some strange orders and we say,"I wonder what this person is making?" How 'bout letting us know. What do you do with the fabric you order from J&O????????
This question may seem like, duh!!!, But you wouldn't believe how many people come into our store in New Jersey and ask for leather, but mean vinyl.
Leather
Leather can be used to make anything from coats, boots, expensive pocketbooks, and even to upholster furniture. Leather is used in many of the same arenas as fabric and is a very popular clothing material. On the contrary, leather is not a fabric, it isn't woven, knitted, wefted or piled in any way. Leather is made up of what you would call, aaaah, skin cells.
Leather is a skin that is sold by the skin and isn't cut into yard increments. Some leather goods stores may have leftover scraps for sale, but please do not walk into a fabric store and ask for a yard of leather.
The term vinyl is used interchangeably with many products such as music records, electronics, floor coverings and even siding for a house. When fabric weight vinyl was first introduced it has been called everything from Naugahyde, Pleather (plastic leather), to faux leather.
J&O's vinyl is a synthetic made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) but we won't go into the scientific defintions of vinyl types and all that it's made of. We'll leave that to someone who really cares. The vinyl we sell here at J&O Fabrics can be used in a variety of household items and is available in a variety of weights. Vinyl can be used for placemats, shower curtains, tablecloths etc.
The vinyl we sell at J&O is heavy-weight and can be used to upholster. Vinyl's smooth surface and water resistent properties make it easy to clean with warm water and soap. Starting at $8.00 a yard, J&O strives to keep our prices competitive. We carry several types including Marine Grade, Felt Back, Expanding Back, and Textured to replicate various animal skins such as snake or alligator. If you want to know more about our different types of vinyls, visit the Vinyl Section of our website. We even have a few Paisley Vinyls, in addition to an array of Solid Colors and Clear Plastic.
New to our vinyl collection is our HOTTEST SELLING High Gloss Patent Leather (vinyl of course). If you're interested in purchasing vinyl, you have to check it out!
Overall, the vinyl at J&O can be used interchangeably wherever leather is traditonally used. Take advantage of the new leaps made in technology over the years. Leather is an excellent material. . . but so is vinyl; it's a lot less expensive and an animal is still alive because of it.
J & O Fabrics is a leader in online fabric stores with hundreds of discount fabrics including: upholstery, quilt, quilting, drapery fabric, fleece, decorator, felt, retro, upholstery fabrics and more!
