I recently tried to tame the chaos of my sewing room. I keep my fabric in totes and the first thing I did was remove the stuffed totes from the room and neatly stacked them in another room. I then started going thru the chaos that was left. I have discovered more than enough projects to last me the rest of my life, without the totes. My stash will definitely out live me. Patterns too. The outcome is my stash just expanded to another room. Not a good idea.
