Kid’s Hanukkah Fabric Decorations

J&O Happy Hanukkah

As an only child, I grew up in a household where every craft that I ever made was kept and treasured. This is especially true for the holiday decorations that I crafted. Every year, my mother hangs up the little felt wreath I decorated in the fourth grade. I often give her a hard time about it and remind her that I am now an adult so she should probably stop putting it up. However, the truth is, I love that she has kept it all of these years and still thinks to put it in a prominent place during the holidays. Help your kids create their own memories with these Hanukkah kid’s crafts.

How To Make An Easy No-Sew Fleece Fabric Gift Blanket

J&O Felt Blanket Christmas

It is the most wonderful time of the year! As the song says, there is much mistletoeing and hearts are glowing with holiday cheer. However, with all of the craziness that surrounds the holidays with cleaning and decorating the house for parties, putting up relatives, cooking, and finding the perfect tree, figuring out a gift that is personal and fits into your budget can be quite difficult. That is why we love making fleece fabric blankets for gifts. They are fantastic for friends at the office and for kids to make for teachers.

Top Three Fabric Ornament How-Tos

 J&O Christmas Tree Decorations

The holidays are a time of tradition. Every year, my family and I come together to make Christmas ornaments. The week before December 25th we order Christmas novelty fabric, pop in the Nutcracker Suite, and make our own ornaments that we put on the tree to represent us that year. In that spirit, I compiled the top three fabric ornament how-tos for our J&O customers to check out. While my family and I celebrate Christmas, these ornaments would be perfect to personalize for any holiday that you and yours enjoy.

Fascinating Fabric: NeverWet Renders Fabric 100% Liquid Proof

There are very few things that bother me more than stains on my clothes. Unfortunately, I am the most accident prone out of all of my friends and am constantly spilling and splattering anything and everything all over my shirts. As a result, I am a walking Tide commercial; I have a Tide-To-Go stick in every purse I own because they are safe on all materials from tweed to cotton fabric. As such a messy individual, I have often dreamed of a day when I would never have to worry about ruining my favorite items of clothing with everything from chocolate syrup to tomato sauce. It appears that my dreams are finally coming true thanks to the marvels of modern science.

This season we are looking at a brand new Chicago Bears with a brand new attitude. Our team is bolder and better than last year so in celebration of the Bears stepping up their game, we at J&O thought we would step up ours as well and feature them as the NFL fabric of the day! We hope you love all of our favorite fabric pics for our grizzly team.

Tips, Tricks, And Resources For Everything Sewing

J&O Fabrics questions

Between the holiday season and Black Friday and Cyber Monday, a lot of people are going and shopping for fabric on our online fabric store. Apart from a spike in fabric sales, we also experience an increased number of customer questions. We get calls and e-mails from every level of sewer from brand new seamstresses and tailors who are trying to get a handle on the sewing community’s vernacular, to people who have been sewing for years who want to ask our opinion about a certain fabric that we carry. We absolutely love hearing from our customers; if it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t be able to do what we love the most! So for their convenience we compiled a few online resources that will help them out with all of those pesky questions that we might not be able to answer at midnight during a late night sewing project or a spur of the moment online shopping spree.

College Creations: A Splash of Color

Last year when my suite mates and I got our room assignment for this year, we ran directly up to the suite to knock on the door and check it our for ourselves. Even though we had never met the girls living there before, they were more than happy to show us around. After we noticed the amazing view, the next thing we focused on was how awesome the decorations were in their dorm. It looked less like a dorm and more like a little apartment! In an effort to recreate their decor, we have been hanging pictures and at on the walls. However, the real fun came when we decided to make our own art. This is an example of the mixed media art that we hung up and how to make it.
