What's the oldest fabric you have?
#33
Probably 6 to 7 years ago I made a jr bridesmaid dress for a wedding my daughter was in to match the bridesmaids. Well to make a long story short we just pulled out the stash from it to alter her sweet sixteen dress to go to her junior prom. Don't know if i own anything older than that.

[quote=Jennifer22206]I have some of my grandmothers, who got most of her stash from her father who was a clothier in the 1910's.. does that count as old?

I'd say that went beyond old and is now up to "Antique", which will make it that much more valuable.
I'd make some wall hangings for myself and family, with a panel on the front telling of its background. This is a family heirloom.

The amazing thing is that I have moved multiple times and evidently this box made it with me every time. Amazing.
So how long have you kept fabric?
