Before I talk about our reasons for shutting down Pink Panda Fabrics, I want to stress that it had nothing to do with our customers.
You’ve all been amazing. Many of you have cheered us on from the very beginning in 2008 when I was just starting out – cutting fabric and trying to master late night feedings with a newborn.
You’ve reached out to me with emails of support and some of you have even heard my voice over the phone! I love the emails and letters I’ve received since opening up shop and never imagined that saying goodbye would be so difficult.
But we knew it had to come to an end eventually as things are constantly changing in our lives, and sadly, April will be the last month of Pink Panda Fabrics.
My husband has gotten an offer on the West Coast and we’ve decided to move over to one of my favourite places in the world – California!
This new move means there’s ton of things to do and so we’ll be shutting our doors at the end of the month. Me (Cheryl) and my team (the lovely local ladies who help me pack and cut) have loved every minute of bringing the freshest fabrics to Canadians and are really sad that it will end soon.
Hopefully I’ll be able to re-establish some sort of fabric store in my new home and find more local ladies to help me out.
XOXO

Oh you scared me! You can’t do that – I only just found you! Thank goodness it was a joke. Phew.
arrgh!!!!!! so bad of you!!!:):)
you suck! this wasnt funny ( lol) I was mad for a hot minute.
That was a really mean trick, I stopped breathing for a second. Seriously, it was almost as bad as being woken up at 4:30 this morning by my 2 sons preparing April Fool’s tricks to play on us….we are not amused! (that sale better be good, that’s all I can say, going to check it out now)!
Oh, you got me too!!! But what a relief at the end!! Seriously – we love you – don’t ever leave us!! (Ironic because I live on the West Coast…)
Cheryl!!!! That was awful! I was just raving to a(nother) friend about your lovely store and was so sad that I hadn’t even forwarded your site yet! I guess this is a kick in the butt to tell her about pinkpanda in case you actually do get up and go… You got me good.
HAHAHAH. Gotcha!
Ok no more tricks like that anymore. Promise. Cross my heart…
I’m never moving out of province. I just don’t think it is in the cards for my family and I. As much as I love Vancouver and California, I think they’ll always be vacation places for me.
Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy the sunshine
YOU
ARE
SO
BAD
!!!!!!!!!!
You got me! I was so sad, and had completely forgotten that it was April Fool’s Day! Glad to hear you’re still in business!

you totally got me! I just read it today on april 4th so april fool’s didn’t even enter my mind!!!
Haha, I *also* checked after April 1st and was totally fooled! You spent a pretttty long time composing that blog post! Well done, and I’m glad it’s only a joke!
Phew! You really had me. I just read this post (a few days after April 1), and I was so sad! I am happy that it was only a prank…a scary, but good prank.
I really panicked there for a few moments.
