Jaci I love the cabinet you have now...maybe DH could make you another one? You can buy those small shoe box size clear totes at the $ store. I use them for fabric & thread. They seem to work well. crafty_linda_b

Or get some of the rolling cart ones. Joann's has them and you could use your 50% coupon...I posted twice so am trying to edit the space without looking like an idiot *L* so thought of another suggestion for you...crafty_linda_b

Even color coordinated fabric to color of basket.
The baskets are see thru also and they have handles.
They fit on a small bookshelf perfect.
They hold 30 fats each.

I found these - see my post - they stack great under my cutting table and you can see thru them so you know what you have.

So shoe boxes, etc are out for me, I value my investment in this fabric too much to ruin it with cardboard!

I think the one from LV is too small. I like my FQ on shelves by color so I can see what I have and what I need. If I need a green I can slide out the pile, quickly look through it and put back the ones I don't want, etc. The little drawers just get me disorganized because I forget to look there.
