J&O Fabrics Retro Fabric Contest

It’s a Retro Revival!!!

Polyester suits, bell bottom pants, disco, pet rocks and fat ties are some things that many of us gave permission to quietly fade into oblivion when it comes to the 70’s era. But the 70’s also produced some great bands, movies, home furnishings and funky retro fabric prints. From bold geometric shapes in vibrant colors, to psychodelic designs with funky artistic flair, visually stimulation was ‘in’. Some of you may even remember other design elements found in seventies furniture and interior decorating including shag-pile carpet, textured walls, lacquered furniture, gaudy lampshades, molded plastic furniture, and of course… plaids! In honor of the era and the patterns that sustained their popularity thru the many fashion trends and cycles of life, J&O Fabrics alongside Retro Revival, are pleased to announce an incredibly awesome contest for the 70’s/vintage fabric lover in you!

J&O Fabrics Crafty Customer: Ginny’s Cool Curling Iron Cozies!

As our Facebook Fan page keeps growing, more and more of our crafty customers are showing off their cool creations for our J&O family and community to view, share, and comment on. One such fan is fellow Facebook page holder, Ginny Axtell from San Antonio, TX .

Ginny showcased one of her convenient curling iron cozies on our J&O Fabrics Facebook page and we liked it so much, we wanted to know a little bit more about her and her hobby. Turns out, Ginny not only creates for family and friends, but has her own blog page to show others how to do so too. Featuring a host of tutorials, hand crafted items, and her own personal ‘favorites’ section, Ginny had this to say about her journey into DIY crafting madness …

With so many new fabrics delivered to our J&O Fabric Store each day, seems just when I’ve found the perfect ones to add to my Santa wish list, another print or design comes in and distracts me even more. Guess that is the blessing and curse of working at a place that feeds your creative needs so consistantly. Like a drug dealer and his dope fiend, instead of one more hit, hit me with one more yard and I am flying high!

Now with Christmas Eve less than a few hours away and craft ideas for the upcoming year already formulating in the crevises of my mind, curiousity had wondering…

Infants Learn Sign Language at J&O Fabrics.

Studies show that infants and toddlers, though unable to verbally express their wants and needs yet, can communicate through the use of sign language with much success.

Imagine wanting water and not being able to tell someone, or needing help putting on your shoes, but nobody can understand you. Sometimes crying is not enough. With sign language, not only is the distress on the caregiver and child alleviated, but the child is learning a second language that he or she can use the rest of their life.
