This has truly been the most entertaining topic of the year so far!! I hope more members will add their tales of loss and confusion, it makes the rest of us know how sane-and-in-good-company we really are as the world around us goes into spin-off-the-Earth mode.
Along with the disappearance of sewing stuff, I lost the workings of my computer for the first time ever -- in over 25 years of "interneting" -- and had to take my laptop to the doctor who did replacement and resurrection surgery in 36 hours for a lovely sum.
I'm still getting used to a new photo editing program, a new writing documents program, and some dang key I hit by error that returns my open pages to the start-up-the-computer desktop....for no dang reason I can figure out. 
If this "misplacing stuff" is part of the "End Times" I've been under-informed!!

I also lost mine somewhere in "never never land" of my sewing room - couldn't find anywhere!!! I went and bought another set and sure enough the little gremlins placed the first set in a very obvious place - great!! - now I have two sets!! ...... but wait ..... I was searching again recently for my little circles and you guessed it ..... the gremlins have taken off with both sets!!! No where to be found!!! They must have gotten together and sailed off with the gremlins to "never never can find it land"!!!!

I've lost "Dec Sunbonnet Sue"....I got the book of monthly "Sue's"... Had them all stored together up in the attic in a plastic tub. When each mth arrived I switch out Sue representing that mth. Well, Dec Sue has been missing now for 2 yrs. I've gone thru everything and looked everywhere. We're even moving to another hse and I've relocated most of my sewing rm and Still no Sue....I hoping one day she decides to return, hope she realizes by that time we will have totally moved.
The other thing I found after a yr and lost again is my Chenille Rotary cutter....UGH...I guess we all just have too much to keep track of...

I lost a quilt top I was supposed to machine quilt for a friend, set it aside till I finished my current project, could not find it and finally came to the conclusion (months later) that I must have donated it as I'd been on a decluttering kick. Even went so far to tell my friend!
And then one fine day, it showed up in the bottom drawer of a dresser I was emptying to donate. I don't and didn't use the dresser as storage for my projects....

I lost a brand new pair of expensive sewing shears in my university apartment in 1973. I searched everywhere and no scissors. Fast forward to 2013 when I decided to recover my ancient old Cogswell rocker that my aunt had given me when I was a university student. I ripped off the bottom skirting, tipped it upside down exposing the inner frame and there jammed in the big spring were my shears! That rocker had been moved houses three times, had been dragged around when painting and vacuuming and had never given a hint of what it had swallowed. I have been happily using my "brand new shears" ever since. Having a lost sewing item for forty years is just plain crazy!
