I got the coroplast boards on ebay. I think the seller is a board member.

Someone suggested (maybe here) that a DVD case was good. I just happened to have an extra one. It's the perfect size for the fat quarters. There are plenty of shelves that you can easily adjust too. When I get around to it I will probably add a simple fabric front to keep out the dust.

My husband installed wire baskets in the closet of my sewing room. They are stacked and on runners, you just pull them out as needed. Or they can be removed. I like them because the fabric can breath, you can see the fabric at a glance. I have my fabric sorted according to color. They were purchased from Lowe's, inexpensive and easy to install. And it helps me keep my stash under control. When my baskets get full I get quilting. Until I use up fabric I don't have room to store more. :thumbup:

I keep mine in the inexpensive bookshelves so I can see what I have. Also, we shop at Sam's club and buy those big salads that come in a plastic shoe box type containers. I store my FQ in those. I have a big bin of strips and little scraps for those that I will use some day to make a strip quilt. I also store my NICKELS in those plastic shoe box containers... good luck organizing.. would love to hear what you do...

My sewing room looked like this for about 10 minutes a few years ago. As soon as my first new project began after getting it organized, it started turning into the complete
disaster that it still is today! I can have a neat space or a working space--not both :)) rusty

I am in the 'thinking' part of rearranging my sewing area and I'm gathering ideas.
