I love this one! Don't have this problem with DH no.3. When married to No.2 I got really good at sneaking fabric into the house.
1. Always carry extra grocery bags with you, they make great camo for fabric. Husbands don't usually want to help put the food away anyway.
2. Tell DH you are going to the library for another book. You can get at least 2 yards between two books.
3. If you carry your stuff for work in a tote bag, you can put the fabric in the bottom and the stuff from work on top of it. Face it he isn't going to help you unpack your lunch tote.
