A few weeks ago I posted asking for suggestions for fabric for a tuxedo for my grandson. I bought polyester suit fabric - wasn't expensive.
Well, the tux is almost done, so today I'm searching through my fabric stash to find fabric for a dress for granddaughter. And I found not one, not two, but THREE pieces of black suit fabric. Any of them could have been used for the tux!
My only defense - I didn't buy the fabric. I inherited several bags of fabric, and this was part of it. I guess if I don't pay for it I don't remember that I have it.
Lesson learned - shop at home first.

look how much $$$ you saved yourself

LOL I have bought the very same fabric 3 times, because I loved it so much but forgot I had already purchased it. I think these things will and have happened to a lot of us :D:D:D
