Welcome to Mary Jo Fabrics!

Fabric is our heart, and sewing is our therapy!

We're so glad you stopped by! Mary Jo Fabrics is a small, independently owned online fabric store offering beautiful quilting cotton, flannel, novelty prints, and more at affordable prices. Whether you're making a quilt, sewing a baby blanket, or creating something entirely your own, we're here to help you find fabric you'll love.

Beautiful Fabric, Great Prices & No Minimum Yardage

One thing that makes Mary Jo Fabrics different is that we sell fabric in 1/4-yard increments with no minimum purchase required. Need 3/4 yard or 1 1/4 yards? That's all you have to buy! Choose one fabric or 20 different prints, and we'll cut your order directly from the bolt in one continuous piece.

We purchase our fabrics in bulk from trusted wholesalers and manufacturers. By operating exclusively online, we keep overhead low and pass those savings along to you. Our fabric is stocked on our own shelves, ready to be measured, cut, packaged, and shipped straight to your door. We take pride in friendly, personal customer service and getting your orders out quickly.

And don't forget, orders of $75 or more ship FREE!

This all started with a goal to earn Chicken Nugget Money!

Mary Jo Fabrics didn't begin in a fancy storefront or warehouse. It started with a sewing machine, a love of fabric, and a mom trying to earn a little extra money.

I've always loved sewing, but while working a corporate job and raising two boys who were already six feet tall at age 12 (with appetites to match!), I needed a way to earn extra income without taking time away from my family. A second job wasn't an option, so I started sewing and selling handmade items for a little extra "chicken nugget money."

Of course, anyone who sews knows how that goes. One project leads to another, and before you know it, you've collected enough fabric and craft supplies to last a lifetime. Sound familiar?

Eventually, one of my fabric wholesalers suggested I try selling fabric online. In 2019, Mary Jo Fabrics began in our living room, selling fabric through Etsy and eBay. When COVID arrived, more people discovered the joy of sewing and quilting, and our little business continued to grow.

Today, we have our own website, shelves filled with beautiful fabrics, and customers who share our love of creating. What started as a little extra chicken nugget money has turned into something I truly love!

It's Not Just Fabric — It's What You Create! 

One of my favorite things is walking past the fabric shelves, picking up a bolt, and imagining what it could become. A beautiful quilt, a handmade apron, a soft teddy bear, or a baby blanket that will be treasured for years.

That's the magic of fabric! There's something special about taking a piece of fabric and turning it into something beautiful, useful, and meaningful. We may supply the fabric, but you're the artist who brings it to life.

I love seeing what our customers create, so please share your finished projects, pictures, and sewing stories with us. Your creativity is what makes this business so rewarding.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Story

We've come a long way from selling fabric in our living room, and I'm grateful for every customer who has helped us grow. My dream is to keep growing Mary Jo Fabrics and perhaps one day open a physical fabric store.

Until then, I'll keep doing what I love — finding beautiful fabrics, cutting your orders, and helping you bring your creative ideas to life.

Whether you're visiting for the first time or have shopped with us for years, thank you for supporting my small business. Every order truly means more than you know!

Keep Creating!

Buy the fabric. Make new art. Enjoy life and be happy.

With heartfelt thanks,

Mary Jo Fabrics
