I sorted all my WOW's today..that was a job in itself! good grief..i had to hold half of them up to the light to see the pattern! so here they are..all under a yard..most FQ's.
Any idea how to store them..now that they are all organized?
I want to keep them seperated by pattern..
all the yardage of WOW..is already on the boards..

So, I use my 6" x 24" ruler to fold them...well, I mean i'm going to...roflmbo...I'm getting ahead of myself!
Hope that helps. Don't know where your going to store them.:-D
P.S. For those that want to sort fabrics by projects, I tie a long string, yarn, or piece of selvedge edge around them and sometimes attach a pattern name and where to find it: magazine, book etc.

um, on second thought: do you live where it snows?
never mind,...was a nice thought for a few seconds, but I ain't leaving my grandbabies :wink:

Its not snowing here yet but we will be getting some in the next couple of days. The weather service is warning us about single digit temps and sever wind chills. But normally it snows around march here.
And yes I love my SpongeBob!!

Watterstide, looks to me like each one of your WOWs would fit nicely in a zippered food storage bag (gallon) size. Bags even have a label on the front and would stack nicely ... zippers on alternating ends so pile would lay flat in a storage drawer or box.

This is fun reading how everyone is doing. :) Last night, I got the two largest storage totes in the closet, storage towers moved into my room and started filling the drawers of one with yarn. It still looks like a cyclone has run thru' the room, but I am definitely starting to see progress. Tonight will be ironing, folding, and putting fabric into the second tower.

The most depressing thing about this blog and others like it is seeing HOW MUCH FABRIC you'all have! SHEESH.. I remember once having several bins and then some of it.. now I have one and its a treasure to me. I look at sewing room/space pics and think Holy Moly! they have a heck of a huge collection.. ah to be a tiny little fly in your rooms. Oh wait, the pics are allowing me to do this! I have a sewing table which is my dinner table. Having a sewing room would be like winning the lotto! not having to put my machine up, pack up fabric, works in progress every single day.. that would be fantasy island. does sorting your little stash count as cleaning up my space? I do this about once a week.. probably just to play with it :)
