I recently reorganized all my fabric in my newly redone sewing room by folding the fabrics around boards and folding like the ladies described here. (Some around boards, some are just folded.) I am so happy I did - I bought a lovely cutting table with drawers and had hoped to use it to store fabric as well as cut it, but and found that I couldn't see my fabric when it was all stacked up. By folding I got twice as much in a drawer - and I can see everything! It's amazing the amount of fat quarters (280) and yardage I have in that table! I have other fabric drawers also, but most of the cottons live here. Thank you all for your ideas!

this is a good way to fold

brosier, I love your sewing area and stash. I particulary like the way you have your threads right where you can see them. I have thread in 5 or 6 places have to hunt for what I need. Good work!

I use the fabric coroplast boards, almost done putting my stash on them. Love the organization and I can find whatever I'm looking for in a little time.

Thank you for all of the helpful tips. :-D

I also like the way brosier has done her thread. I have mine in the ArtBin thread organizer boxes but am not too happy with it - can't see the colors well enough looking down into the box. But I'm not sure I will have enough of a wall to dedicate to the spool holders.

I fold mine selvage to fold, then in half again, fold to fold. This makes it a standard width. I then fold it lengthwise so that it fits in my shelf. The front of the fabric, facing out, is folded neatly and the same width. The length may vary because of the fabric lengths, but they are usually close (and it's at the back so who cares?).

Ditto I like how it looks this way.

That is essentially what I do, but I just fold until I have a nice smaller size piece of fabric. I can unroll what I want to cut off and refold for the next time.
