I have a hard time throwing things away, and I don't just mean in my sewing room. But the stuff from my sewing room does find a home. I know people that weave rag rugs and crochet doilies out of those strips too small to measure, and that do fabric mosaics with the 1 X 1's, etc. My kids laugh at me because I throw the crumbs on the floor as I'm working, then sweep and sort it all out, and end up throwing very little of it away :)
