i kow just what you are saying...i remember fabrics from the late 80s...i love my stash....and find it hard to use sometimes...
i have to be in the right mind to part with some fabrics.....
my sewing area is in my living room ...my stash is a big closet...and i have a great dropleaf table...sewing table and ironing board up always....the sewing area seems bigger than my sitting area...but i live alone and i love having projects around me......
