In two years time four of my friends have passed away, all of them in their late 50's and early 60's. So I adopted the "use it, wear it" mentality since then. My goal is to not purchase any more fabric or sewing stuff unless I really need it. My husband and I have a living trust and trusts set up for our grandkids. In it I have stated who gets my sewing stuff and my husband put down who gets his woodworking shop. We have given a copy of those pages to the people involved so they know to contact the surviving spouse and pick up the stuff.
