The pile on the left side of the sewing machine table. Mostly linen clothing from Goodwill that I cut apart and and some of it went in with the grape juice and some steamed with brown onion skins. Some came in the mail from a dear friend who makes glorious cloth. And thread. DebL.
I am going on a Field Trip today with my daughter. Lots of places. One being the Goodwill. So I started filling a bag with things I will never wear in a million years. Quite a few of those items are linen so the pile of soon to be quilting cloth grew higher than the Goodwill pile. But I did fill a nice trash bag. I am going up into the attic to fill another bag with things on hangers up there. Sizes that are long past and not coming back.
I got rid of all the shoes that hurt my feet when I wear them.
I got rid of anything that is itchy or scratchy or that rubs me the wrong way.
I mostly got rid of things that were the wrong size (and not needed to repair things that are the right size as I like to own extra zippers and cloth to make serious rip repairs)
I own three pairs of corduroy pants and one donor pair in the same color (wrong size) and that wrong pair provides me with what I need to keep the other three going, though the seat on my most favorite pair is wearing thin (thinner) and I am very very sad about that.
But I wanted to write to you before going. As we might be gone a long time and I will most likely be exhausted. Daughter just called with a heads up-- I've got 30 to 45 minutes to go up to the Attic. If I find anything newsworthy at Goodwill-- I'll come and post again. Field Trip !!!!!!! Yeah!
