I have been doing a similar thing. Going throigh material and ribbons zips lace etc.Although I sew I took curtains to be altered(for Christmas) to a local sewing place.I also made up a box of unwanted but nice sewing things for the thrift shop.This will start someone else on the hobby.I threw away some things that were tired.
When I do return to making some items the freshness and tidiness will be super.Is this a seasonal things like nature shedding the leaves..are we doing a similar thing?
