JOANN Fabrics — a brand that has served generations of sewists, crafters, and DIYers — is officially closing all of its stores by the end of May 2025. With time running out, thousands of customers are now urgently searching for a reliable alternative to meet their sewing supply needs. For many, that alternative is clear: WAWAK Sewing Supplies.
WAWAK has quietly built a reputation as a leader in sewing notions for over 115 years. Originally founded by a professional tailor in 1907, the company has grown into a trusted source for over 24,000 high-quality sewing essentials — from threads, zippers, and buttons to pressing tools, needles, and everything in between.
Unlike general fabric stores, WAWAK specializes in the materials that actually complete sewing projects. Whether you’re a professional tailor or weekend crafter, WAWAK offers a curated inventory that’s built around quality and consistency — not trend cycles.
With an easy-to-navigate website, fast shipping from both coasts, and top-notch customer service, WAWAK is making the transition away from JOANN seamless for sewists across the country. Orders over $99 ship free, and customers can shop 24/7 from the comfort of home.
WAWAK is also earning praise for its reliability. While many stores have struggled with inventory shortages, WAWAK’s robust distribution system and dedicated service team make them one of the most dependable resources in the sewing world today.
As JOANN’s final days draw near, WAWAK isn’t just filling a gap — it’s welcoming a new generation of creators with open arms, exceptional products, and a century-old commitment to craftsmanship.
