I and the included signees would like to petition your company to design and offer more modern boy friendly prints at your stores. Currently, you carry several girl appropriate designs in your Doodles Fabric Collection, but the offerings for boys are lacking. I am a part of several sewing communities, and the most common questions that I come across are related to sources for affordable knit fabrics with modern prints for boys. So many home sewists today are looking to create on trend, unique, and comfortable clothing for their boys, but currently the best options are high priced custom printed fabrics. Joann does a great job of providing moderately priced, good quality fabric in the Doodles Collection, but I believe that modern fabrics for boys is a large untapped market, that could greatly benefit your company.
For an easy beginning in this venture, I would suggest printing your current boy offerings

on the same 100% cotton interlock that many of your other prints are offered on, but go on to offer other designs that are more reminiscent of the other prints offered in the Doodles collection, and also include 95% cotton/5% spandex prints and solids as well.
I hope that you will strongly consider my suggestions delve deeper into the world of knit fabrics!

I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam but look at us go. It really shows how many people are tired of hunting for decent boy knits in the bargain bins especially when we all just want to sew cool stuff for our kids.

This would be so nice for mothers of boys!! As well as any sewists with a business. I often find myself gazing at the girly knits and thinking how much easier it would be to make clothes for my kids if I had girls. And I can't afford the prices to order from online designers (who don't have coupons). Please, please make boy-friendly knits!!!
please make more boy friendly knits and also more truly gender neutral ones as well.
More boy-friendly fabric would be awesome! Good stripes, prints, and not just things for baby boys, things for older grade school boys is desperately needed!
with 3 boys and 1 girl I make many more things for the boys but they always end up with plain solid colors because all the prints are "girly".
As a pattern designer with many patterns for babies and children, I am asked frequently for suggestions of good places to buy knits for boys and girls. I suggest Joann Fabrics for girls knits, your Doodles collection is affordable and modern and people love that. Just as many people use my patterns for boys as they do for girls and I wish I could suggest your fabrics for boys as well.
Please bring back doodle 13422043
please bring more boy prints!

as the grandmother of 3 boys and 1 girl, it is challenging to find any affordable and fun knits to make things for my grandsons
