So, hmm, maybe after the fiscal year is over? Since I never pay with credit, just budgeted money then after the next year's taxes, its totally no-cost.

If you bought it for a specific project and just haven't gotten around to it yet, I think cost should factor in for as long as you can remember what it cost.<br />If it's just fabric you fell in love with and picked up for "someday I'll figure out what to do with this", 6 months to a year seems like reasonable time to zero out the cost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294699315718764344.post-24103271781474487382013-01-09T17:12:54.610-05:002013-01-09T17:12:54.610-05:00Coats that you use 6 weeks a year are less importa...Coats that you use 6 weeks a year are less important than fabric that can be enjoyed all year round.

Most of the time I am buying remnants for just a few dollars, so I consider a year enough time for a few dollars to be reduced further.Meg the Grandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505371880343451606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294699315718764344.post-38611244911938222532013-01-09T10:35:41.104-05:002013-01-09T10:35:41.104-05:00Honestly, I liken it to the demand pricing scheme ...Honestly, I liken it to the demand pricing scheme that sports stadiums use on tickets - it fluctuates depending on scarcity of tickets and marketing value of the teams playing. As you know, my folks own a quilt shop, and my mom has a super HUGE stash of fabric, some obviously that you just can't find any more. I don't see anything wrong with continuing to charge for a fabric, even after you've been holding it for any number of years.

While the sewing table does just fine for my machine and sewing box bits, the fabric still didn't have a home. <br />I just realized that one of our two hall closets could easily be converted to a fabric home. <br />If I just kick the coats out of there...Polly Chromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468032782447695823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294699315718764344.post-37840449075216329702013-01-09T07:02:57.743-05:002013-01-09T07:02:57.743-05:00I hang my fabric in my sewingroom closet- thats on...I hang my fabric in my sewingroom closet- thats on an outer wall.
