Being on a tight budget, I used to feel guilty buying fabric so, yes, I would try to hide it. But, since I started selling my bags and accessory items, hubby doesn't mind at all.
He never said anything before anyway - it was my personal issue. But, then I realized that if he spent his allowance (we take an allowance from our soc.sec. each month) however he wants, why can't I. Guilt is gone.
Now, he likes to open my packages of fabric that comes in the mail.
He's even getting passed those quilts, etc. that I give away. I guess there's hope for him LOL
