I was also raised not to waste anything. It is hard to break the habit. I have fabric that I don't particularly like & will never use that was given to me by aunts but I still hang on to them. I've been getting a little better at getting rid of them. I have started giving them to my 8 yr. old identical twin granddaughters. They use them for wraps & covers for their stuffed animals. This keeps the fabrics in the family.

However I'm getting better about passing things on to someone who can use them or if it turned out to be a piece of junk instead of something useful, to actually go on and throw it away.
Good luck to you doing the same!
