What great memories, we bought our fabric from Sears, Penny's and Montgomery Ward. I also remember the fabric dept. for all of them was upstairs near linens. Had forgotten about the dept. stores, in the mid 60's a fabric store finally opened near us. Can't remember the name, but it was wonderful! Of course knits were the rage and cotton was only 50 cents - 2.00 a yard. My eyes used to burn something awful when we went shopping, all the chemicals in the knits! Thought it was amazing to have a store totally devoted to sewing! LOL
