I think now is a really great time to get rid of the things you don't remember or are outdated. Put a box at the door and just start tossing. I was really surprised at how much new storage I was able to get by doing this. I also try to cut my scrap pieces into managable measurements, ( 5" square, 3.5" square, 2" square and 2.5" strips, I throw them into boxes labeled by sizes. Our local Bernina store offers classes monthly called scrap therapy. We use up all those tiny pieces and make them into beautiful items. And of course a good friend and a bottle of wine will make the job a little bit more fun!
