I have been busy getting ready to move all my supplies and fabrics into a small bedroom (9 1/2' x 9 1/2'). I have been trying to come up with simple, inexpensive, compact ways to store stuff. So far I have sorted ribbon and threaded through plastic that I will hang on pegboard on the wall. Lots less room than 4 drawers of spools and still having a real mess. The photo shows all the ribbon (139 spools). As you can see I sorted by color.

I am going to try using this clothes hamper to sort scraps. It has 4 compartements I will sort by light, medium and dark and one for plaids, stripes, and checks. Right now scraps are sorted by color.

The last photo shows the shelves that my son is building for me. Almost finished. Of course, I have to paint them.

Next photo will be the completed project! Sometime next week, I hope. Don't know how long it will take me to move all that fabric.
