I can't throw anything away. I belong to a guild and whatever I can't use I give to them to sell at their "boutique". That way they can make money for charities!
I also pick up things at garage sales and on Craigslist and Freecycle for them. What is someone's trash is truly someone else's treasure!
I even managed to pick up small scraps of a fabric my SIL needed to finish a queen size yo-yo quilt. She had enough to make 10 but only needed 8.

I can't throw away any scraps!! I do a lot of appliques and also sell appliques so I keep it all. I only get rid of scraps if i feel like I'm using the same fabrics over and over, then I box them up and sell them on Craigslist. Someone is always looking for fabric scraps. Then I start all over again filling up my scrap carts!

I'm terrible at throwing away anything I think I can use to sew with..which is why my room is such a disaster. For the first time ever I have one dedicated sewing room and not all my junk fits. I thought I was going to have 2 rooms and did for a few months...but the girlie kid needed it..so..I have a bigger mess than what I started with..I am determined to get it under control though before I start mega sewing for Christmas. =) Wish me luck.. !

I wish you luck. Let me know how you do it. Your room can't be as bad as mine.
