You brought back a memory. A few years ago, the mother of my daughters friend was saying how much she liked to sew. Always wondering how people dealt with their leftovers and stash, I asked her where she kept them. Are you ready? In the seat of the stool that she sits on at her machine!
Needless to say, I knew then she wasn't a serious sewer.
I started stashing when I was 13 years old.
