fabric shelves before and after
 

I finally got enough foam boards from Dollar General to finish winding the majority of the fabrics in this bookcase. There's one small stack left and part of what's in the stack is kits.

Before,

I actually took out a shelf and still have it all back on the shelf. The two full size bolts are a fusible interfacing so it's going to stay on the full size bolts.

oh, wow, need to get the boards

wish i had all that fabric to buy the foam boards for.lot of fabric there you have. thanks for sharing

GRrrrrrreat! Would love to 'play' in your stash, but won't make a mess - promise.

WOW!!!
Great job. Looks like a fabric store.

Awesome! I have about 1/2 of mine on comic book boards. I hope to finish before I have to return back to school. I love the way it looks and how easy it is to see what you have. You inspired me to continue.

It took over 10 years to get that much fabric. A lot of them are only 2 yard cuts.

ok 'serious drooling' going on here...admire your stash and just love the finished look...

Oh man - and I thought I had a lot of fabric!

JEALOUS!!! Can I come and play at your house.

You are inspiring me!

That looks so nice and organized. By the way, your "before" picture looks better than my space. Sigh...you have inspired me.

How would you like to take a road trip to the eastern part of the state and do mine? Looks great.

Sure! One of the biggest reasons I did this is so I can pull the fabrics out and play with them. When they're in stacks you end up having to fight with the stack and end up with a mess when you're done. This way I can pull out what I want and put it back with no mess!

I will not however post a pic of my desk!

Hmmmm, you've got some great quilt stores on that side of the state. I might have to consider it!

Looks really great, beautiul fabrics!!!!

So nice and neat, looks like a fabric store! I'd love to come shopping there! LOL!

It's beautiful! Isn't it nice to have your fabrics right at your finger tips instead of digging through bins?! Your own little fabric store. I really enjoy looking at my collection of fabrics!

A great collection of fabrics, organization makes it easier to pull fabrics for a quilt, as well as saves you time.

What are the fabric boards called that you got at Dollar General? I've never seen anything like that here locally.

They're just foam core boards. If they have them they'll be with the poster boards. I checked at our other DG and they don't have any at all. My Dollar Tree doesn't have them either but some people have said they can get them at DT.

wow it looks like a quilt shop! great work, would you like to come to my house and do the same?

Your 'before' looked decent, too.

hello.. just came back from the dollar tree and got some of the foam boards . and i have a few fabrics i have folded on them now how to secure the back of it so it stays together? thanks for sharing

I fold the bottom corner up and secure the top with a jumbo vinyl coated paper clip.

thank you scissor queen. be back later got folding to do. lol

Can/Will you do a photo of that, please?

Sure thing!

Fold the bottom corner up.

Finish winding it up and put a jumbo paper clip at the top to hold it.

Awwww. So cute and professional looking. Good job. Enjoy!

What a great looking stash! I really must get busy and do the same with mine!

Great job organizing your fabric.

I am totally jealous! looks great and what a great way to view all that fabric!:o

Huh! Even the before picture looks good to me. You rock!

WOW, that looks wonderful. I wish my stash looked as good as your "before" picture. I need to find these boards and do my fabric that way. I have mine in piles and it makes a mess every time I pull something out because what I need is always on the bottom!!

back to the drawing board . thank you for the pics. i see now how to make them look neat and tidy.

i am sure glad i found this site you all are very helpful... to all :thumbup:

Your "before" looks a lot better than mine!

Oh my. I'm so jealous. I have got most of my fabric ruler folded and on shelves and was proud of myself for that!
