Could you pack up all but 2 projects to get you through the winter, so as to still continue your hobby during cold months? I'd go nuts without being able to sew, but (like you) we plan to list our house in the spring and my sewing room will have to revert to being just a guest room . I have a lot of clearing to do ,but I know that selling houses is all about making as much of your square footage show . No clutter.
