Sounds too familiar. After feeling all the fabrics in the store about an hour or so, then and only then is the question asked. ” Do you think this will make my butt look fat??”
@Macushlalondra
I know better than to drag any of my males into a fabric store (unless what I’m going to make, they’re going to wear.)
HOWEVER, I also love going into hardware stores. I might pick a different aisle to browse than my hubby, but I love looking at all the stuff I could use for a project.
When I was little (45 years ago) mom took me with her to Mcdonalds..(yes Mcdonalds)..department store to pick up fabric and “breck” patterns……I still grew up to be straight…..never used a pair of pincking shears in my life…
Rolls of fabric “do” have a nice smell though…

Earl, I think you’ll be safer in the store.

Earl, say yes to everything and it will be much less painful.

Women should never drag a man to the fabric store anymore than men should drag a woman to the hardware store.

Well, Opal, you did ask him. You deserve some of the blame for his answer.

The question I would ask is “Are you making a flag or a dress?”

cleokays - “Cheeky Avatar” - perhaps you could borrow some of Opal’s material when U sit down outside on the grass. ;-))

When was the last time Opal went with Earl to get supplies for his hobby and he asked her her opinion of this doo-hicky and of that thing-a-ma-bob?

I made the mistake of bringing my wife into a hardware store

I think Earl doesn’t feel any comfortable with Opal at the fabric store. LOLs!

If it is for clothes, then I would go with what feels the best, but judging by those designs, I don’t think that Earl will be wearing them.

Like Earl has fashion-sense!
