I've seen some of my girlfriends stashes and don't feel so bad! I'm grateful I bought a lot when I made a lot of money working- I have MS now and lost all my financial holdings and live on SS only, so all my stash is such a BLESSING now! Everything is organized and I have a beautiful sewing room with every wall full and pretty. I could never replace everything now, and I'm only in my early 50's. I have enough to last ummmm....I hate to say LOL! I'm a garment sewer, too, so that's part of it, but I'm thankful for every piece! Never too much, and when a friend is in need or Charity fabric is needed, you have it.
