I was thinking of buying some pretty paper boxes to put them in, but then thought that having them visible might be a source of inspiration?
Anyone have/seen any great ideas on how to store your stash? I have a large wall where I could hang shelving, as one option. Sort of like the idea of containers better though, as they'll get dusty on a shelf, even if in bins.
Thanks!
Cardboard boxes can bleed some nasty brown color onto fabric. Plastic bins are what i use, not that I have any kind of orde.
The plastic shoe boxes will hold the fabrics for a top, if you want to keep projects in one place, or matching fabric if you aren't to design stage yet. And big bins are a blessing. Don't let too much sunlight hit them however.
