What do you think is holding you back? I wonder about that. Maybe baby steps would feel more comfortable. You've already purged quite a bit. Maybe you need to give yourself permission to take a break from the process. If you do decide to stop sewing, that isn't the end of the world either. Something else that you value will takes its place in your life. But I do wonder if you are feeling a little burned out from the process right now. Be kind to yourself.
