I like a clean organized room. I HATE clutter. First rule is you cannot organize too much stuff. I am given alot of fabric for my charity quilting. I must be ruthless in discarding what I do not want to use. I am not sewing fabric that I do not like. I give to other charity quilters.
I store my fabric on shelves ruler folded except for small things like FQ. I pass along scraps smaller than 5 inches and save strips 2 and 2 1/2 inches.
I sewed myself a great Christmas quilt then gave all that category of fabric away. I do not make Christmas quilts for charity. If I ever decide to make another---I will buy what I want.
Along the way I bought too much fabric but am making great progress on whittling it down. I gave myself permission to discard what I do not love. I took myself off all email alerts to fabric sales. The fabric stores are happy to store fabric for me at no charge. When I need it I will go purchase it.
My sewing room now is a happy place without so much fabric making me feel I had just too much and others had so little.
