In an effort to round up anything worth donating, I wound up doing a big seasonal sort of clothing and bedding today. If I don't do this in both spring and fall, things get out of hand. This time I was more ruthless than usual and threw some things out. And a few things I thought would fit from earlier thrift shop buys are going right back to where they came from. Happy surprises were the usual 'oh, that still looks good' items coming out of boxes and onto hangers and into drawers. Unhappy ones were the jeans and blouses which almost fit last year but are now 'no way'. That's okay. Passing a few on, keeping a few for goal inspiration to do better.
I may regret it, but I have enough clothes that have 'had it' but are made of great and durable material, I am just starting a tub of 'fabric' to be used in some future way. With new fabric being both cheesy and outrageously priced, why not keep the great poplin or black watch wool or terrycloth items, to cut up for projects?
