    Right now my stash is in totes and I don't like it much, I have to empty the tote and dig for what I want. ---- At one time I had all my fabric in a chest of drawers and I did like storing it there. In my fantasy sewing studio --- fabric will be stored in built in cabinets on shelves that slide out.

    I have mine stored in plastic totes. I like the clear ones you can see into.

    I finally put all of my "stash" in plastic boxes according to color, kits in another place, and the big fabrics, (more than 3yds or more folded flat in another cabinet. In other words, too much. I am trying to "use" stash instead of buying "new" but it sure is hard. I love fabric, LOL JO

    Ha, ha, ha, ouch! Oh my. One can have too much fabric.

    Now that walk-in closet gives me an idea. Except, where would I put my clothes, and my pantry goods, and all those extra things I have stored in there?

    I want to have my stash out where I can see all the fabric. I have those shelves you can buy just about anywhere. I try hard to keep the sun out and have not yet had problems with fading.

    I've got a linen closet for my fabric, but also have some totes. Then I have a couple shallow totes that are designed to go under the bed, and I have "pulled" fabric for my next projects in there.

    I have a whole room (spare bedroom) dedicated for quilting. A chest of draws full of patterns, tools, kits, etc. A double dresser with 3 large drawers where I have trays of smaller pieces of fabric sorted by color & laid out so that I can see all pieces as I do mostly applique. Under the bed are plastic storage containers with larger pieces sorted by color. Closet has washed & ironed fabric pieces on hangers, filing cabinet, rolling cabinet with drawers for threads, etc. Rolling cart for TV has drawers with notions, etc. & then my sewing machine cabinet has drawers & shelf for iron, etc.

    I could not believe how much you could stash in one room until I had to remove everything to have carpeting restretched last year.
