I have frabric that was dye cut for my grandmother so I have no clue how old it is but it is old for sure. My mother and her two of her sisters worked in garment factories so there was always scraps available it seems. I have 4 large totes full of fabric and UFO's that belonged to my mother. Some of that fabric still has the price tags on it. I see from time to time when I go through it fabric that she made me clothes out of. I'm 56 so that gives you some idea how old it is. :D
