Is "Your Fabric Stash" your oasis or your skeleton in the closet?
Is Your Fabric earning it's keep or causing confusion?
Fabric can be a burden and a threat to creativity!
Removing the Fabric you don't want to ever sew up is a good idea. Someone else who it would better suit should have it.
Storing Fabric that just isn't you, isn't going to help you get the Wardrobe that works for you. Even if you do sew up the fabric, you really won't wear it.
One's person's trash is another person's treasure. Getting the Fabric to the right person is better than keeping it and preventing you from sewing the fabric you actually love and want to sew & then wear regularly.
It makes sense.
Our lives change & our wardrobes need updating too! Sewing up Corporate outfits and wearing them, long after you have retired doesn't work unless you are still involved with corporate activities. Different stages of life.
If you are going back into the workforce then Polar fleece and resort clothing probably won't be on top of your priority "to sew" list.
