J&O Celebrates Female Inventors Thru Fabric!
With Women’s History Month coming to a close, J&O Fabrics would like to take a final moment to showcase some of our well know prints inspired from some not so well known female inventors. From ‘ Retro Kitchen Supplies’ and ‘Laundry Essentials’ prints, to ‘Pink Lingerie’ and ‘Chocolate Cookies’ designs, the creativity of the female spirit is never ending.
Back in the day, many women had to hide behind fictitious names or their male counterparts in order to see their unique creations manifest into fruition. Often times, the inventions of women never saw the light of day until they were first ‘ invented’ by a man. Today, more and more women are being recognized and honored for their creations, and people are taking notice.
