This. I got rid of the majority of my clothes- I had more than I needed due to not getting rid of the old stuff when I got new, and also "hand me downs" from my shopaholic mom. I now have an up-to-date wardrobe, no stress over digging for something suitable to wear, not having piles of laundry build up because I don't "have" to do laundry, etc. I'm also cleaning out the linen closet. Who really needs 10 sets of sheets? 2 will do, one on the bed, one ready to go when the first gets washed. Get rid of the stuff you don't need, and make room for the stuff that makes you happy- fabric!

Very sorry to hear about your poor fabric. I don't have a large stash and I also don't have a large sewing room but I don't have to share it. I bought the cube bookcases from Walmarts and that's how I store most of it. Have you thought about putting bedrisers (buy them at Walmarts/Kmarts for around $10) and then putting the totes on rollers under the beds. That's how I store my sweaters and sweats in my small bedroom. I had problems a few years ago with field mice and fought it for years and then said mess on it and went against DH (no longer in the picture) and got a cat. I no longer have problems with mice. My house had problems with bugs (roaches) when we bought it and then I found a solution that got rid of them with little work and every once in a while due to where we live I have to put a little more pest control out and then poof they are gone so I'm able to enjoy my house. My cat also doesn't go into my sewing room for some reason; she goes into all of the other rooms but that one. I don't know why but I like it that way. I hope things look up. I now only buy what I need but only due to financial and it's hard when I see some of the things out there on sale.

This is a really good idea. I'm redoing my bedrooms now and moving them around for when my son comes home in June plus now that my husband is no longer in the house I'm making it mine so I'm going thru all of my things that I didn't wear this past winter and they are going to the thrift store and then I'm trying on my summer stuff and what I don't like it's going. I know that after all this I'll still have way more than I need to get me thru happily and probably end up wearing things I haven't seen in a while.
