Are you a crafter or a sewer? Maybe now that we are all staying home more, I'll get back into it. If you've got the time, they have the stuff.

Two new Jo-Ann Fabrics and Craft stores are opening Sept. 4 in Pembroke Pines and Margate. The Pembroke Pines super store is 27,215-square feet and is located at 11251 Pines Blvd. M’Liss Rae Hawley, author and quilt designer, will sign her books after the 10 a.m. ribbon cutting Sept. 4. In Margate, the 21,663-square-foot superstore is located at 3340 Northwest 62nd Ave. in the Margate Shopping Center. Hawley will sing her books after the 2 p.m. ribbon cutting Sept. 4.

Both stores will offer also free Jo-Ann creative demonstrations and free craft projects for kids, giveaways to the first 100 guests and $10 Chili's gift card to those who spend $30 or more beginning at noon each day (while supplies last). There will also be special sales.

Special activities run from Sept. 4 through Sept. 6. Doors open at 9 a.m.
