Hey, uh, so JoAnn Fabrics is apparently going into bankruptcy because of private equity fuckshittery. I make my bears out of remnants from JoAnn because 1) remnants are half retail price and 2) it's an attempt at greater sustainability. If JoAnn goes, I'll have to either find a new source of remnants (difficult) or start ordering whole yards of fabric online at full price (will make bears more expensive).
Depending on how shitty things get, I might have to close the shop.
If you've been wanting one of my bears, you should probably know that I'm having a small sale this month--10% off everything with the promo code MARCH. (It's only 10% because my profit margins are quite small already.) Now might be a good time to order, while I still have fabric to use and haven't had to raise prices.
I hate hype. I hate artificial scarcity bullshit. I hate making this post. But here we are. I can't make bears without fabric, and I can't afford to charge less than the cost of materials. I'm already charging below minimum wage for my own labor. I'm one person with a sewing machine; there's only so much scaling I can do.
I don't know what's going to happen, but I figured you deserve to be informed.
