After countless calls from loyal customers searching for the ever more popular Angelina Ballerina fabric, we are pleased to say….WE HAVE IT! Not only do we now stock the requested novelty cotton fabric for the hotter months, but we also have America’s favorite mouseling in fleece and flannel, just in time for the cooler months. Create fun summer pjs and loungewear and warm winter bedding sets and throws for your little girl. It’s never too early to plan for Christmas gifts either. Even little Hannah’s ballet classes will be a bit more exciting with an Angelina Ballerina slipper bag or trimmed tutu.
The highly watched daily PBS television program is based on the very popular book series written by Katherine Holabird and illustrated by Helen Craig. Based on the authors own experiences as a mother and educator, each episode seems to find Angelina in sticky and challenging situations reflective of those most children experience along their journey. But no matter the obstacle, Angelina finds a solution to the problem and in a comical and creative way, sets things right again.
Within Angelina’s community, lie friends, mentors, guardians and even adversaries that play a role in her life. From her hero and mentor Ms. Lily, who teaches Angelina how to live life to its fullest, to Mrs. Hodgepodge, who is so unhappy with her own life, that she can’t stand to see others enjoying theirs; Angelina learns valuable lessons and most of all, how to be true to herself along the way.
Whether you are a role model to other young girls, or are a parent of one yourself, there is something to be learned in each of Angelina’s adventurous experiences. The fact that the animated mouseling is both adorable and funny as well makes watching Angelina Ballerina even more enjoyable.
Take me out to the ball game. Take me out to the crowd. Buy me some J&O fabric. I don’t care if we never shop anywhere else
‘cause it’s the best fabric store in the world!
With opening day less than 20 days away, and the cold weather still lingering in the midst, MLB (major league baseball) fans are eagerly gearing up for another round of submarine style pitches, sneaky stolen plates and out-the-park home run hitters from their favorite teams. With all the excitement of the spring season ahead, it’s easy to overlook some of the simple things that will make the long innings on hard stadium seats a little more comfortable.
It's root, root, root for the home team.
I don't care if they loose.
Whether you’re rooting from the plastic seats of the ball park or from the soft cushions of your favorite couch, our MLB fleeces can offer that extra bit of softness and warmth to go along with the rooting fans and the foot-long hotdogs that make a day at the park all worthwhile.
At J&O, we carry some of the coolest MBL fleece fabrics for our baseball fans nationwide. With a few yards of material and a little creativity, your team spirit can be expressed in the form of a simple logo filled craft project to carry or wear when the pitcher takes the mound.
If you’re a New York Mets fan, make great seat cushions for the ‘fanny’ in you. If you are a diehard Philadelphia Phillies fan, gather your family and lay a home-made fleece throw across your laps or around your shoulders to keep the nippy nights under the big lights a little more special. And if you’d rather be watching dare devil men speed around and around the Nascar track as screaming fans cheer on instead, but you have a knack for crafts too, then gather a yard or two from each teams fleece to make unique gifts for friends and loved ones that they will surely cherish even after the last game has been won.
Yes it's one, two, three strikes you’re out, at the ole ball game!

Military blankets are a great gift for your loved ones at home & abroad this season. And hand-crafted blankets carrying the stars, stripes and emblems of the military branch they represent are especially nice not only during the holidays, but year round.
You don't need to have any sewing skills to create one either. With J&O's wide selection of 100% poly-winterfleece and a pair of scissors, you can make a warm & lightweight blanket for that special someone, or even yourself. Just follow the easy step instructions below and watch your fabric turn into an armor of pride that they can keep warm under when they need it most.
Step One: Come to J&O Fabrics and pick from a selection of Military fleece fabrics representing the teams you or your loved ones follow. Have a store employee cut the fabric into a 2-4yard length depending on the size of the individual who will be wrapped inside (or 1 yard for a little one).
Step Two: Wash the fabric with cold water on gentle cycle, or hand wash. Any detergent will do. Lay fabric flat to dry.
Step Three: Lay fabric out on a large flat surface. Turn one of the shorter ends towards you and smooth out any wrinkles.
Step Four: Cut a fringe along one short side by making 3-inch deep straight cuts about a 1/2-1 inch apart.
Step Five: Tie a single knot at the base of each cut strip to complete the fringe along one side of the blanket.
Step Six: Turn the fleece to the other short side and smooth out the wrinkles. Make the same size cuts a 1/2-inch apart and then tie knots to match the other side.
Step Seven: Step back and pat yourself on the back. Your completed military no-sew fleece blanket is done! Give as a gift or keep for yourself.
Now wasn't that easy.

It was in late 1891 when high school drop-out James Naismith was called by his superior to create a new indoor game that would be interesting, easy to learn, and easy to play in the winter as well as by artificial light. Naismith reflected on popular games of the day and the games from his childhood, and assembled the pieces that would become Basket Ball. Five years later, the first documented professional basketball game took place in the US. It was a wild time, with barnstorming teams, leagues that came and went, and men who could play for three teams in three leagues at the same time. It wouldn’t be for another 50 years before this competitive team sport would evolve into the NBA.
As for the modest and humble Naismith, he would go on to earn four college degrees, but never to receive the full accolades’ for an invention that is now played by more people than any other game in the world. Here at J&O we recognize the lasting contribution Dr. Naismith’s indoctrination of this popular sport has had on the shaping of America’s culture. We send out a big “THANK YOU!”, as our show of appreciation for the sport that has basketball fans becoming J&O fans as well. With our bountiful selection of 45” cotton and 60” fleece fabric, you can sport your teams’ colors and mascots all the way to the finals and back again. Our 100% cotton novelty prints are great for everything from bed linens and quilts, to fan wear and accessories. Rep Allen “The Answer” Iverson’s team print from head to toe as you sleep dreaming of his multiple play-off steals. Stand out in your own fashionable Miami Heat fan ensemble complete with trimmed b-ball cap at the next live game. For those of you who prefer to cheer from the comforts of your own home, look for our warm & lightweight poly/fleece NBA print fabrics to create custom throws and pillows for those exciting nights in front of the tube watching the Orlando Magics vs Phoenix Suns. Whoever you root for, however you express your team spirit, have fun doing it with J&O Fabrics’ NBA prints. See you at the games!
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????????
