Hello! I posted this same question a few months back and basically got alot of the same replies. Many women on this board don't hide fabric. I felt like it should not have posted the question either... Believe it or not, since then I just make sure my house bills are paid then if I come across fabric I want for my stash I buy it with no hiding or shame. I figure I do my contribution by working, being a good woman, keeping a clean house, etc. If I want to purchase fabric I do. Of course now it is getting to the point of I am running out of space in my very small sewing room!
