I have lots of experience, I stored shoes in the trunk of my car when I was 17. Don't bother much anymore. Since all my cutting and sewing is done at the local Extension Office , most of my fabric is kept in my van. Of course, none of this stops my mother from commenting on how much fabric I have. But I have gotten quite good at not listening over the years. She knows how I feel about buying fabric and never pushes the issue.

Since DH is retired, we have a certain amt of spending $$.He doesn't care if I spend it on fabric or whatever.We pretty much just buy what we need.Since he seldom needs anything, it leaves more for what I need :)

When my hubby was alive, I sneak fabrics in the back door.Throw the bag in my sewing room,then later stack fabrics on my shelves, while he took his ole man nap,lol. Now, I do as I please, my son knows not to open his mouth!

I don't hide mine from him. I think his biggest issue is that when he says "go pick me up a few burgers from mcdonald's will ya?" McDonald's is inside Wal-Mart.. so.. a 15 minute trip usually turns into...about a 2 hr visit at WalMart...

I never hide it. I usually ask if there are funds available. If not I wait. If I'm out and there's a great sale I call and and ask. I am a stay at home mom and we only have one income so this is how it is.

I often need to buy something during a project & of course while trying to find that item, the fabric calls out to me. I often will buy a small amount with cash I have on me so he won't see it on the card & put it amongst the needs I went for. Then when he goes out to his workshop, I hide it amongst my other fabrics so it looks like it's been there for a while. He does sometimes tell me to buy though, so I feel pretty lucky.
