We ended up having to move to an apartment when my husband changed jobs and I sold and donated most of my fabric. I did keep 8 totes and since then have added a lot more to my stash. My hubby wants me to sew up what I have and give up the quilting and I told him that will be a cold day in#@!*!!! As long as I can keep things organized he shouldn't complain.
I know just how you can have an extra 4'x6' storage space for your stash...... but it usually requires a retainer fee :thumbup:

I also teach dying, painting, inking, etc on fabric and have TEST things going on all the time! I also sew Medieval garb and my own clothing and home decor...so what you see is what you would see in ANY seamstresses 10' sq room!

Buttons, trims, notions, art supplies,, all have their places and for the most part they are in them....it is the fabric that is like herding cats at the fish market...has a mind of its own I think!

You might want to try some organizing. How can you sew in there?
