How Long Does Fabric Sit In Your Stash?

Sometimes I buy fabrics without a real plan, and often forget about them. I've just made a Donny shirt using fabric which has been in my stash since June 2010.

Every fabric gets its chance to shine.

Hooray for stash shopping!! Every fabric definitely does get its moment in the spotlight! I have a couple of fabrics that have been in the stash nearly 10 years!

Many many years ago (we're talking 90s here) my husband went to an auction (without me) and proudly told me he had successfully bid on an ex fabric shop stock clearance..... There was so much fabric we actually had a market stall for a while! All this to say I still have some of that fabric.

From my own purchases I have some fabric that is possibly 20 years old. I'm trying to sew from my stock and use it up but there is so much prettiness about that I get tempted and add to my personal resource centre instead.
