Someone will be glad to get it. It's so much better to donate than store it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patchwork-1#post-2206837 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 02:58:18 +0000 Bijou 2206837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a lovely bag. It would not be for me either, but given how beautifully made it is, I am sure that its new owner will be thrilled to pieces to get it in new condition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patchwork-1#post-2206826 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 02:15:34 +0000 Anonymous 2206826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the encouragement, Irina, Janet, Angie, Sal, LAR and Firecracker! </p> <p>I’m making some progress.<br /> Summer tops, skirts, shorts and cropped pants have been culled and 2 boxes filled for donation. Also, decisions made on a few recent purchases and rejected items packed for return. </p> <p>Letting go of the tote bag was easy. The impetus for our purchases on that trip was to support the local economy - photos and memories are all the souvenirs I need of travel!</p> <p>Dresses, jeans and shoes are for another day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patchwork-1#post-2206727 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 22:08:15 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2206727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny that Angie's post provided the impetus to get out this bag and donate it! Good luck with your editing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patchwork-1#post-2206712 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 20:37:32 +0000 LAR101 2206712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to hone your style.<br /> It can be freeing.<br /> Editing will make room in your wardrobe to allow your own style to shine through in your real life.<br /> As Angie says, “Next!” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patchwork-1#post-2206711 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 20:29:32 +0000 Sal 2206711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holiday purchases can be hard! It’s a great bag and someone will enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patchwork-1#post-2206708 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 20:28:04 +0000 Angie 2206708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry the bag didn’t work out.

Thank you for the kind words too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patchwork-1#post-2206677 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 18:29:46 +0000 Janet 2206677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck editing!</p> <p>I have pieces like that bag — vacation purchases that somehow don’t translate at home. I’ve been stubbornly hanging onto a few! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patchwork-1#post-2206674 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 18:22:20 +0000 Irina 2206674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like the bag, sorry it didn’t work out for you.<br />Good luck with the edit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/patchwork-1#post-2206640 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 16:43:35 +0000 Anonymous 2206640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie’s blog post today caused me to remember that I do own one patchwork item. I purchased this tote as a souvenir on a trip to Myanmar in 2015 or thereabouts. To the best of my memory, I’ve used it once in 6+ years, so into the donation box it has gone. </p> <p>And in true “if-you-give-a-mouse-a-cookie” fashion, seeing that there is remaining space in the donation box has led me to at least begin to tackle a long overdue closet clean-out. I’m sharing here for some accountability, so I won’t slack off after the one box is full. </p> <p>So THANK YOU, ANGIE! And credit to Janet and others who’ve posted recently about letting things go - definitely got me in the mood to do the same. </p>
