What do you do with things you have made that no longer serve a purpose?
You may recall that I made a dress back in March this year. Its the first real garment that I’ve made from scratch using my sewing machine and as such, it has a certain amount of sentimental value. Its a great reminder of a project I worked hard on, and pushed myself to overcome my ‘perfection paralysis’ and felt proud of what I managed to achieve.
That said, it was made as a costume for a show. Its not a style I would choose to wear on an every day basis and I cant really imagine an occasion for which it would be particularly useful. (Chances of someone I know throwing a 60’s party are slim!) In fact, it doesnt even really fit me any more. Thanks Slimming World!
But still it hangs on the outside of my wardrobe where I can see it from my bed and I’ve reached the point of wondering what to do with it.
The wardrobe mistress expressed an interest in having it at the time of the show, so I guess I could pass it on to her for future costume use. I just dont want to regret letting it go.
What would you do? Do you keep things after they’ve served their purpose or are you good at letting things go?

My house is very small so I have had to loosen up a bit when it comes to letting go of things. It’s a lovely dress, if you probably won’t wear it then it could have a new life in a costume wardrobe. 😊
I’m terrible at letting go of things. Its easier if there is an obvious new home for it though.
