You tell me. Is it worth it?
I've been purging my wardrobe, fabric inventory, pattern collection, and book shelves (including my sewing books). Is it worth it?

The Pains
1) I have a tendency to land on a piece of fabric and feel I should come up with a creative way to use it up, even if it’s not a garment or accessory I will get a lot of use or pleasure out of. Even more so when it takes more storage room!
2) But I’ve hung onto this for so long, and I might use it soon!
3) I hold onto things for sentimental reasons or associations with an occasion I made the item for
4) I hold onto fabric I meant to make up for my daughter when she was little. She’s 25 now. And she’s not planning to have children herself in the near future!
5) It’s really a lot of work! I’m using my sewing recreation time, and probably will be at it for a couple of months over the summer
The Pleasures
1) More room for my fabric I want to keep, so I can find what I want from what I already have
2) More room for fabric I buy – even though I’m trying hard to limit buying right now!
3) More chance to find patterns I use regularly when I get rid of those I don’t use and/or better organize my patterns
4) Less clothes in the closet helps me find the elusive garment I want, and enjoy my successful sewing projects more
5) Act of purging from my wardrobe, reminds me of what I really wear, and helps me best decide where to allocate my recreational sewing time
