Fabric and craft stores are immune to calendar boundaries. It takes time to make stuff. If I had to wait for October to start making Halloween things, nothing would be done on time.
those fiendish xmas dogs have pushed us back, where are we to marshal our forces?
And then they wonder why nobody is going to brick&mortar shops no more...
Halloween patterns and fabric make sense in June, projects take time, but putting ready to go decor out is just ridiculous.
Craft stores get a pass; people want to get a head start on making this years' decor.
Yes but crafting season needs to start about 6 months early. Bedazzling takes time!
I saw an article about Apple’s Back to School sale starting, and school here hasn’t even ended yet.
Michaels is doing a similar line they call their "Nevermore" collection. Though it's a little less blatantly Halloween. I have a feeling this is Joann trying to empty their warehouses since they filed for bankruptcy a while back.
