My kids are in the "Mom, you need to get rid of this stuff - - This being all things related to sewing -
We moved and I still enjoy going through most of my fabrics - even though I know that I probably won't use them.
I did donate Many Many patterns to the Salvation Army. And cookbooks. Lots of books went to the library. I think it's a pity that they won't take textbooks or encyclopedias.
I am still feeling a bit resentful about the move and about getting rid of some things not by my choice.
i do know that in the "big picture" - of health and all that - it is insignificant.
But still, a rough fingernail can drive me nuts until I fix it. Usually that is not a life-threatening problem. Or take up much space. or take much to fix.
But for those of you that are able to just GIVE/DONATE your fabric to whoever will take it - my greatest admiration.
For the record, over the past years, I have donated cars full of fabric. I'm just getting ornery about being "forced" into parting with it.
