Sorry to hear of your illness. God must have something planned for you in your apartment. I have used bookcases for years to hold my fabric. I don't have my fabric in tubs they just sit on the shelves. Plus I have some tubs that have other fabric and notions in them. My 10 year old granddaughter was look in them the other day and she was so excited that she found a bag of zippers. She is quite the girl. She has played with my fabric and notions since she was a baby.
