Thank you all so much for sharing your memories! I have enjoyed this thread so very much. It's just wonderful! Nice stroll into the past. I sure do wish we had more places to find fabric! I do faintly remember a Kresge - but I don't remember them having fabric. I know my parents were big Sears shoppers, and I certainly don't remember them having fabric (but I DO remember Geranimals and Toughskins...lol).
BTW, according to the burn test my fabric has some polyester in it - there was a crust/slight melt on the burned edge. That's fine - I think I'm just going to hold on to it a while anyhow...;)
