Sewing room halfway empty

My sewing room is half empty, as proven by the pictures below. And it's not just moving things from one room to another, I'm really throwing things away and putting non-sewing things in their proper places. Even the emotions of going through old memories is easier.

My fabric is going into several categories. Since I sew garments as well, I organize my fabric this way:
  • quilt fabric
  • fabric for Taylor
  • fabric for me
  • gigantic scraps to be used for special purposes (slopers, stitchouts, whatever)
  • craft fabrics like furs and fleece
  • fabric dedicated to a specific quilting project
  • antique pieces
In terms of quantity, the quilting fabric takes up the most room, naturally, because I only buy clothing fabric for specific project (mostly). I'll check when it's all moved out, but I think the quilt fabric requires at least as much space as all the rest together.

Yes! I have started a bit on my sewing room, thanks to you! The closet is going to be my problem child. Right now it is so full of non-quilting stuff that I can't even walk into it. but I am going through stuff, like you, and enjoying the memories. I use plastic bins for my fabric and sort according to theme and also color. And then also keep individual projects in bins too. That way I can just pull out a bin and work on it. Will be posting on my antics soon. Keep up the good work!!
