wow, what a neat way to get your fabs folded uniformly and so clever to be able to know at a glance about how much is there! If you could see me, I'd show you a continuous joke me and hubby have...when we are impressed with each other we put one hand on our chest....
when our baby daughter graduated and all the seniors marched around the field...just as she was walking up in front of us (in bleachers), the whole family all put their hand on their chest, (thing she didn't know was, we were more relieved than impressed, LOL! gotta love her!)
thanks for that tip. I do have a LOT of fabric and even felt guilty while I was sick for a year, but I am BACK!!!
wanted to give a tip or info to anyone planning on building shelves on their existing walls...cause I saw somewhere where somebody was planning on just using little "L" brackets....hubby had to put up some plywood first, bc there weren't a lot of studs in our walls to put screws in. Well, he did a good job with it all, but in some places he 'pieced' the plywood. Well, sometime yesterday while I was out, one shelf full of fabric bundles, fell...we used large braces, but they weren't "triangles" like we had used before...adds extra strength. My fabrics were so heavy on that shelf that it actually pulled the screws out of the plywood!
I didn't notice what happened at first, bc I took a used vinly table cloth and using safety pins and plastic rings and large cup hooks (or whatever, bc these are the big ones - gold), made a curtain to keep out light and dust...and truly, to keep me from always seeing how much fabric is waiting on me...bc I buy my fabrics with certain ppl/projects in mind so when they get to their new home...mine, lol,....they have a family waiting for them...a bundle...so I have, (haven't actually counted, just in my head a while back)...about 30-40 projects waiting to be started. Working on ufo's before starting anything big. :) :oops: :D
