Hi There,,, I want to first say, you (alaskansunshine) are Adorable!!! and your fabric storage is just amazing!!! Thank you so much for this really great tutorial on folding... I too have tons of fabric... and my oldest son recently moved out of our home (bless his heart, bought his own home at 23 yrs old) yes I am really proud of him ;) ... so I finally have my dream "sewing/craft room" that I am really excited about decorating and making it a beautiful place for me to do what I love. I have bought some really neat shelving units and I'm so excited to have found your tutorial and to get started folding :) You are super sweet, and incredibly inspiring,, and thank you for helping so many of us fellow sewers. :)

me again.... Sasha aka Blndie444..... and I am now fully realizing how much work is put into folding fabrics like this .... I am ironing for smoothness (since all of mine have been stuffed into big containers for years... and folding and smoothing .... but still very very excited for the end result :) and will post if I can figure it out LOL ....... and ladies .... just a word of advice ..... "it is worth it ... we too can have a beautiful room like alaskansunshine :-) keep smiling and keep folding we will all be in a happier place when we are done ;)

Great pictures!!! I have recently started to put my fabric on boards too. I am on my third pack of 100! It sure makes it easy to see what fabric a person really has. I even had doubles of a few fabrics (I work at a fabric store, so I am always purchasing remants). I think I will start using boards for my smaller pieces like you have done as well.

Have a great day!

They are called comic book boards. Acid free. They come in packs of 100 for about $10 - $13. They are sold on Amazon, ebay and at comic book stores.

I thought I was organized. You put me to shame. I wish you lived closer. I'd love to gather more tips from you.
Thanks for the tutorial!
