I've been in the process of slowly cleaning out my sewing room. Yesterday I finished going through all of my apparel fabrics and set aside these 11 bags to donate...

11 Bags of Apparel Fabric I gave away |
I have some wonderful neighbors who just happen to have 9 kids of their own. They were able to take them off my hands and I know they'll share them with their church and others who sew. It's good to see that the fabric will be turned into something useful rather than languishing on my shelves. I used to love to sew clothes, but now that time has been taken over by quilting.
So as of yesterday evening, this was the state of my sewing room...

The current state of my sewing room |
What a mess! I'm now thinking I want to paint the walls and shelves as well so it's turning into more of a long term project. However, I took a couple of hours today to push aside some of the clutter and finish up some pillowcases to donate to the
1 Million Pillowcase Challenge. I know at least one of my local quilt shops is a participant. It only took maybe 2 hours and the use of my serger to finish 21 pillowcases. They only needed the last step and some ironing to finish them.

21 Flannel Pillowcases to Donate |
Most of the fabric is flannel. Only the pink one has a cotton header. Best of all, all of the fabric came from my stash! Now I'm on to sorting through my quilting fabrics. I've already boxed up a bunch to give to my mom, but in the process, I've found more fabric that would be perfect for more pillowcases. So it looks like I'll be making a few more in the near future.
Until later...

Doesn't it feel great to destash!!! Your room is like mine up in the so called finish attic space, but mine has a wall in the middle to make it two rooms. I only have one side :(
