I purchase a white wardrobe closet at Homedepot and it holds all my fabric. Scrapes I put in plastic bags (like the one sheet come in) by color and store in the bedroom closet. Works great and the room looks organized.

mine is now stashed in clear plastic totes, so I can see what I have. Have a black lab & a border collie/aussie shepherd that shed black hair. don't want that on my fabric. DD helped do what was downstairs when she was home for a week's vacation the beginning of July. Now if I had my fabric upstairs done the same I would have no problem finding what I want. Am looking for my Phillies fabric yet. I have a whole bolt up there somewhere. My Daisy has been spending her nights out by the kennel where her puppies are. They are weaned, but she is real protective. I have been busy getting my Daisy's puppies to new homes. 2 left yesterday & got to Wright WY last nite & then 1 will head for Nebraska. I have 1 that went to Kenmare, & possibly two are going west of Kenmare. I also had 1 go just west & a little north of me. So most haven't gone far. But I don't want them back. they can sure eat--never had 10 puppies at once I guess.

I have always stored my fabric behind the closed doors of a cupboard/amoire of some kind. Thirty years, no fading.

I am under the roof/rafters and there are small access doors to the area 4 feet and under. i slide large plastic bins in there. It is not convenient and no showing off of stash but it keeps it looking un cluttered.

Oh that's ok, I may be stashing some under my bed soon, running out of space.

I had a neighbor that put a china cabinet with glass doors out on the street for garbage because it was to big for their house. I loved it - it is very 50's. I sent my husband and son out to bring it to our house - wiped it down and put my fabric in it. Love it.
