Well------I have had fabric since the 8th grade when I started sewing. I would save every little thing. Then my grandma and aunts would give me fabric. I think it dates back to the 1970's; wowzersssss that's along time ago. Never thought about the age of my stash. Still have a dress my Mom made for me in grammer school is that considered my stash - was always going to cut it up but never did.
