I moved just 18 months ago -- from over 4000 sq. ft to just over 1500 sq. ft. Had surgery last year and lost 40 pounds and had to get some new clothes. I am afraid to get rid of the larger clothes in case I gain it back. I got rid of some of my fabric (the pieces I wonder why I bought it), but could not get rid of much -- I just don't have the resources to replace it. I am gradually going through it and organizing it into plastic bins that I can keep in the garage (I had help packing and things are a bit jumbled) . I am working slowly, but I think this will work. My new sewing room is not too big, so I don't have much room for storage. I am not sorry I hung onto the fabric -- won't know about the clothes (I had already gotten rid of my fancy clothes when we could not cruise any more).
