Also (and I know this sounds like an excuse) - I go through my clothes every season when I transfer them over from closet to storage, and sure - I could be better about keeping my space tidy, but beyond that I just don't have a ton of stuff. The one exception to this minimalism? My sewing room of course! When my sister said I could have an old shelf she was getting rid of, I decided it would be the perfect time to combine storage systems, get rid of things, and generally spiff up the space.
As per Marie's instructions, I took every piece of fabric I had out and piled it all on the guest room bed. Wow. I know this is nothing compared to some people's fabric stashes, but it's a lot. It's also way more than I need.
Going through it all didn't take too much time, and I soon had a large basket full of yardage, kits and bundles ready to rehome. Fitting it all on a single bookshelf was a little more challenging, and I had to go through and get rid of more several more times until it all could fit.
I decided to bring my rejects into work and just put it in the break room to give away, despite me not knowing if there were any sewers or quilters amongst my coworkers. I guess there are, because all that fabric was GONE in about 1/2 hour. So that was easy!
I'm still working on everything else, and I'll post a picture of the final reveal soon!
