I'm not domestic at all, but I do sew. I had to make all of my clothes when I was in High School and I don't think I've ever purchased ready made window treatments. So, I am also mourning the loss of fabric stores. They are really not out there any more. I teach in High School and they are also taking the sewing classes out of the schools. You used to be able to find any kind of fabric or notion, and now you really have to search for anything. The nearest decent fabric shop for me is 40 miles away.
