I'm pleased to announce that I have cleared out a second bin of fabrics and projects. Gone. Banished to the garage to await the Quilter's Yard Sale in August. Yay!
Here's what I am getting rid of: fabrics from my stash that I can't envision using (in the photo you can see a turquoise plaid flannel and an inexpensive black cotton with stars), a couple fat quarters that I just don't like, old quilt magazines
Basically, I spent an evening going through all my fabric boxes. Some of the fabrics in there are 20 years old. Many fabrics were purchased for garment sewing--which I don't do as much anymore. Some fabrics, colors and styles have just gone out of fashion (drapey rayon skirts, anyone?) Oh, and the corduroys! I have a lovely 5-yard specimen of coral/peach corduroy. I can't picture making anything out of it.
I'm sure I have more fabrics I could get rid of, but this will have to do for now. If I could actually get some sewing momentum, I might use up some fabric by actually sewing with it. Now, there's a concept.
Remember the goal: have less stuff.
