The amazing thing is that I have moved multiple times and evidently this box made it with me every time. Amazing.
So how long have you kept fabric?
I still have several large pieces of red plaid flannel, several yds of taffeta, cotton shirting, various cotton fabrics & corduroy that came from my grandfathers fabric shop. He died in 1960 and had been retired for several years. I also have 6 yards of silk shantung (sp) and 6 yds silk sari fabric from 1966. Just can't seem to use it up.
