Funny you should ask that question. I just moved from Hobbs, New Mexico to San Antonio, Texas. We downsized & I lost my studio and the related spaces. I used all my stash that wasn't already neatly packed up - link in chest of drawers as packing materials for other things. I save all my batting trimmings, so I stuffed them and Poly-fill stuffing into plastic bags to wedge into irregular spaces. When I got here, I used some of my boxes to keep track of the abundance of small pieces. We found fabric cradling lamp shades - they are a PITA to pack up, but they had to be boxed. I used smaller pieces of fabric to layer between dishes. We also used those jumbo storage bins (or should I say containers) to pack most of the kitchen things like pots & pans & larger things that don't nicely fit in moving boxes.
When we arrived here, the next day, I started to unpack & sort fabric from other stuff. Very quickly it became evident just how much fabric I had!!! When it's neatly stored on floor to ceiling shelves, it doesn't look like so much. Then I ended up in the hospital with a fractured vertebrae. No unpacking for me for a while. Now everything is unpacked, but some is still not put away. I don't know where I want to put it. The whole house has become my studio!
Attached are some pics of what things used to look like & what they look like now - more or less. I bought 5 shelving units to put in the entry way & living room to house fabric. More fabric is in DH's office closet & the master bedroom.
Just a note - nothing was broken in the move!!! Fabric does double duty!
