You SIL should have been respectful about your space. If she doesn't like how you keep your stuff, well her loss, not yours.
I have a granddaughter that loves fabric scraps too....now she knows that if it's in the blue bag, she is free to use/play with/take it....otherwise fabric is off limits or she needs to ask first. Mind you she was 3 when we started this system. 18 mos is a little tougher.
