    Default Looking for this fabric

    Hi, I am trying to find this fabric. I bought this from JoAnn's about a year ago and I liked it so much I wanted to use it again but of course when I went back they did not have it anymore. And, no one could help me. If anyone sees this or anything close, please let me know. It really works great as a backing for a little girls quilt.

    I worked at a fabric store for several years... 1 years time is very long for a fabric line to stick around. I agree it is cute but my recommendation is to find something else like it. If you are using it in a project and have run out perhaps using several different monkey motifs would work... just suggestions. Finding fabric that is a year or more old can be an impossible task. Good luck. Below is a link to Etsy, with search words, pink monkey fabric.

    While I agree with you about how long fabric sticks around in most stores, I will say that I have seen some fabric stick around at Joann's for a long, long time. I made a green quilt for my MIL at least 7 years ago and several of those fabrics (not just one or two) are STILL in stock there.

    You might check the website; I've seen other threads where people have found more fabric either at a different store or online. Good luck.

    That fabric is a Snuggle flannel. Those patterns don't return often....the basics will return, but not the novelty themes.

    I think novelty fabrics like that are gone once the bolt is gone. Basics they seem to restock. I love a fabric like that - just makes me smile!! and that's never a bad thing!!
