Ah, a fellow fabricoholic (well you know what I mean). I stored the majority of my fabric in plastic totes, most in clear totes so I could see what I have, but since the sewing room was in the basement, I wanted to keep the fabric safe from little critters (the small 4-legged kind) and from getting mildew,smells,whatever. Plus I could stack the totes, otherwise I would not have been able to move. Unfortunately, I had to give away over half my fabric when we moved to an apt. Every so often now, I will take a tote down from the stack,go through the fabrics, admire them, hold them, then re-fold them and I could then add a few more yards to the tote, plus pull out the fabrics that talked to me so I could make dresses for my DGD and more quilts. I'm glad I didn't let my DH talk me into giving away more fabric, because I haven't bought a lot of fabric since we moved, and then it was mostly to supplement the project I was working on.
