I had two boxes of old fabric that is cheap fabric I bought when I first started quilting that I'm in the process of organizing by color and cutting into strips to make rag rugs so I don't waste the fabric. And I've "repurposed" a small wall quilt I made years ago when my youngest (now teenaged) daughter was little that has pockets in it for Beanie Babies. She hasn't used it in years, so I've got it in my quilting room to use to put small quilting stuff in.
OOOH, I love the idea of "re-purposing" the ex-pantry for your stash. I have my grandmother's armoire that is loaded with books. AND it's in my sewing/craft/misc. room. If I could just figure out what to do with the books (without getting rid of them, of course :lol: ), it would be perfect for my stash.
