There must be some sort of consumer surveys that reflect fewer people making those types of purchases so they're moving in another direction. But really . . .. . .
Yes, it is a trend, just as decoupage, macrame, etc. was way back in the seventies. And I'm sure you people can name many more. Most of us have all jumped on a craft band wagon at one time or another. And the stores have supplied us with what we needed for our crafts. But the sewing has remained a constant, even though the focus has changed from time to time. Let's hope that they hang on and don't give up completely on the fabric.
