Sorting Shirts.

I have one body. Yes it is bigger than most peoples but it still takes only 1 shirt at a time to cover it. OK, when it's cold maybe a shirt and a jumper but let's not get too tecky here. So why did I have more than 30 of them crammed into that little space. At any given time there may be 4 or 5 in the wash and if they are there now then they haven't been counted. So really, too many. And!! This is not counting the few I bought yesterday or the yard work ones that are in a basket under the bed. Looking at some of these in the cupboard they should maybe be relegated to the yard-work basket but as that is already so overfull that I have trouble pulling it out then pushing in back in I know these will not fit in there. We're coming into warm weather so I need to be able to easily get the warm weather clothing out, makes sense then to sort stuff so that I can open the door without everything falling out. As it does now. Because the decent shirt I want only occasionally is under the pile of suited only for home shirts that are worn more often. I have kept; 9 shirts not good enough to wear out but more than OK for around the house, I wear these most of the time so some are showing a bit of wear. 12 OK for work shirts + 3 decent for going out T-Shirts. Still too many I think but it's a start. Of the ones that I have discarded only a few were suitable for Vinnies. Our Vinnies is very picky but the other op-shop is less so and they will get more. A few have been put in the Free Markets bag. Now to put things away and tidy up a bit before the grandkid gets here. When she leaves this afternoon I will tackle something else, maybe the shoes... I did take before and after shots but they aren't uploading so my shame, haha, is hidden 'til another day.

  1. You are so funny Barb..spring cleaning your wardrobe good on you ..The ones for the rag bag you could always cut them into squares the parts that are in good condition that aren't worn and make a quilt or a great picnic blanket...just an idea to reuse up stuff...and a bag of rags is always handy to have around..The secret is when you buy a new item of clothing you get rid of and old item ..sounds good in reality doesn't it ..some times I do but most times I don't but really I should, saves so much time and energy in the long run ...could also be used to make your grand daughter clothes for her dolls..

  2. Wow, good work. Doesn't it feel good once you are done! Our op shop cuts up unsuitable clothes and sells them as rags, so I sometimes send in a bag labelled 'rags'.
