I don't know the notion you speak of, but I can sure relate to that black hole!! We live in a 31' old motorhome with no pull-outs. I am presently trying to find a bottle with 80 fabric leaves I had cut for a table runner I'm now trying to work on. Had to cut out more this morning. I know I just saw them less than a week ago! Argghh!! Hope you find your notion!!
