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.

Oh, yes. With the price of fabric going up, "Shop the Stash." will become our motto!

yes, shop at home first as you probably forget what you have purchased

look how much $$$ you saved yourself

Funny- So how do you display your fabric so that you know what you have?

lol!!!

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

ROFL!

I just chock it up to "Senior moments". When my hair turned gray, I decided that I was a Senior, even if I was in my 40's then ;) Now I really do qualify as a Senior and am loving it.

I've done that with 2 or 3 different fabrics! Also do it with books...there's one novel i've bought at Half Price Books at least 4 times since I first read it in about 1999.

Done that with stuff!

i'd love to see the tux

Delivering next week. Grandchild is 700 miles away. We are excited to go visit.
