I can't WAIT to see the responses to this .... this thread more or less goes along with "Do you have a favorite fabric that you just can't cut?"
I "think" my oldest (uncut) fabric is a piece of flannel that I bought to make those two-piece snap pajamas for my baby daughter. I bought two pieces, two different prints and colors. I made one set ... with the snaps on the insides of the legs and around the waistline. They had "feeties" and were very warm. She truly got a lot of use out of those. I never got around to making the other jammies for her, but could never part with that other piece of flannel. No need for fire resistant, etc. back then.
How old is my daughter now? She turned 40 in June! So I would estimate that flannel to be just about 40 years old! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Who's next?

I can't even guess - I have some flannel that my grandmother bought to make herself nightgowns. She was close to 6 feet tall and could never get "granny-gowns" long enough. My guess would have to be.........50 years old?
