I took stock of my life and my fabric stash in December 2010. I left my 2000 sqft + basement home due to losing my job and ending aN unhealthy 10 year relationship. I used to have 1/2 a basement for my sewing room so I had tons of fabrics. I just gritted my teeth and dove in and was realistic about what I wanted, what I needed, what I would use and what needed to go somewhere else. I whittled down my stash greatly. At that point, I couldn't even consider the cost of the fabric I was giving away. I now have a 10x13 sewing room in a safe and happy home. I have shelves along one of the walls and they are packed with my fabrics. i still have a couple of tubs in the garage full of fabric. I have lots of projects planned and in progress. And most importantly, I am HAPPY!!!!
