Storing Winter Clothes

Thankfully the time has come to put away the wool sweaters and scarves. I am so tired of little moth bites so this year I am doing it right.

1. Have dry clean only items dry cleaned.
2. Hand wash other items (sweaters and scarves).
3. Store with sachets. And here is a short description from Martha Stewart on making sachets.

Take a deep breath: Aromatic herbs like rosemary, cinnamon, lavender, and balsam can keep clothing and shoes smelling fresh; cedar can help protect woolens from moth damage. For your drawers, spoon a small amount of herbs into a beautiful old handkerchief, gather the ends, and tie with ribbon or twine. For your shoes, create a sachet that will help them retain their shape as well as freshen them. Sew a carrot-shaped sachet, using a piece of linen two times wider than the shoe at its widest point plus 2 inches; make a channel at the top so you can cinch it with ribbon. Or, if you are looking for a no-sew solution, simply stuff herbs into a sock -- nothing is better acquainted with the shape of a foot.
