You seriously need to explain to her that it's YOUR house and she is not to touch your stuff!!!
Before you get into a fight about scraps, etc., ask yourself whether any of this stuff makes an eternal difference. The fight might--losing a bunch of fabric crumbs doesn't. froggyintexas
its not about the crumbs, its not about even coming into your home and "helping", its about someone who is so controlling they feel they have the right and duty to run your home as THEY see fit. These are not "poor dears", these are iron women who need to be in charge. They may come off as sweet and helpless, or be as tough as nails. They will bully and charge or they can be very passive-agressive, either way, they run the show.
It's very hard to be a spouse (male or female) when there are inlaws like this. If your spouse is afraid of their parent, or think you must defer cus "they know better and are trying to help", seriously, stop the discussions (aka arguements) and key the door and you have the only key. Its your space. sharet
