Super Bowl XLVIII DIY NFL Fleece Tutorial

With NFL Super  Bowl Sunday XLVIII less than a month away,  Seahawks, Patriots, Broncos and 49er fans far and wide are upping the ante and showing what true fans are made of…one craft at a time. For fabric suppliers like J&O Fabrics, these next few weeks leading to the final countdown are as grueling as they are exciting. From making sure our chain of supply and demand is met by our various manufacturers, to personally assisting our valued customers with their unique project needs,  Super Bowl season and all that comes with it can be crazy at time, but it makes it all worth while when our beloved teams win.

Are You an Eagles’ Fan?

With most of the NFL’s teams beginning training camp around now, our long football hibernation is coming to an end. That means that very soon, each team’s fans will once again have an opportunity to don their most ridiculous costumes and makeup, and head out to the stadium with hope in their hearts.

Top 12 Crazy NFL Fans and Their Costumes

With the World Cup dominating sports headlines for the past weeks – and for a few more to come – the devoted NFL fan might be experiencing a bit of withdrawal until the pre-season begins. While soccer has claimed the moniker of “the beautiful game”, football prides itself on being more… rustic. With that in mind we’re counting off a list of twelve of the craziest NFL fans you’re likely to see and their shabby inventive costumes. You may recognize some of these characters, a few of whom have obtained a modicum of fame (or infamy, depending on who you root for). You may even recognize yourself reflected in the outlandish devotion of these fans.

J&O Fabrics “Coolest Handmade NFL Craft Contest” It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over!

Well, now that our “Coolest Handmade NFL Craft” contest is officially over and 1st place winner Kristin Caporale (and her incredible array of NFL cotton hoodies and hats) earned over 100 votes to help gain her leverage over the competitors and walk away with $50 free cash, the J&O family would like to take the next few days to share our own list of top 10 personal favorites, individual category favorites, top 10 NFL inspired quilts, top 10 Saints crafts in honor of our Super Bowl 44 champs, and our top 10 Colts crafts. After all, with over 80 contestants from across the country entering everything from dog coats and baby binky holders to NFL sun catchers and laced g-strings, what better way to showcase the incredible array of creative energy and talent from our facebook fans, twitter followers and fabulous J&O Fabrics customers worldwide! Plus, there were so many awesome crafts that came across our desk that never got voted on in our online poll, that we just had to bring them to light.

So if you submitted a craft or two, stay tuned, your claim to fame may lie in between the lines of our upcoming blogs and blasts. If you submitted, but did not win, remember a true failure is one that never tries. At J&O Fabrics, everyone is a winner. And if you did not have an opportunity to enter your NFL creations at all, there is always next time. In the meantime, have fun checking out some who did. Be motivated and inspired!
