In preparation for this project, I went through all (and I mean ALL) of my clothing items to figure out what I really need to sew for myself over this coming year.
This also involved getting rid of anything that no longer fit, didn't look good, things I didn't like, and things I just don't wear any longer. Since having a regular income after graduating university, I've had a bit of what you might call a shopping addiction. Yeah, not great. I would stop by the mall on my way home from work, and more often then not come home with a new clothing item (or three). It is certainly not something I'm proud of, and my bursting closet was getting out of control. Apologies for the low-quality photos... it was the evening and I was in a sorting mood - good lighting be damnned! Here are the before photos with (almost) all of the clothing items I owned pre-purge:
