Can u get the cardboards from ur LQS or buy from other places for the lg pieces. Clear bins for the FQ and scraps one shelf for batting ect. I'd love to have those shelves! I need some so bad!

You are all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D
I've been up there about 2 hours folding fabric.

Bellaboo, I wanted to get those comic boards but with the shelves being deep I thought it would be useless. I'll have to check out the other ones you mentioned.

I do have lots of plastic bins w/lids (the flat ones). We've used them for years for things b/c of all the cat hair. It's become a lifestyle lol

I do believe some are empty! YIPPEE. We've been purging our home for about a year!!

Thank you all so much!!!!!!! Evey single one of you!
I'm going to re-read this over and over but right now I'm taking a break from being up there HA

I tried the Youtube but got an error. I'll look it up.

Thanks again!
Sue

I just watched the video and it was great!! Another question got answered for me- how to have colors together but also different size fabrics. She showed it!
THANKS

I agree with the poster who suggested plastic bins. Not as pretty as just plain fabric, but you gotta work with what you've got. I also agree that you need to find a size tub that fits and bite the bullet & buy enough to fill all the shelves. It will be much easier to stack & reorganize in the end.

I just love to organize. My co-workers laugh at me because I am always reorganizing something. I purchased two wardrobe closets for my craft room and I used plastic bins for fat quarters, and scraps, organized by color, or theme. The larger pieces I fold and sort them by color. Kits I keep in a large ziplock bags and are on their own shelf. You have some wonderful shelving and a great craftroom.

Thanks for the link ... yes the one from the first page. I thought you were meaning another one about sorting the colours and fabric types, which I'm always looking for.

The bin that she was working with in the video is the type I am using for most of my stash ... and certainly for any new ones I get. i put all my fabrics in on edge so I have a quick look. No, mine are not folded so neatly as she shows ... merely hand folded, but in a similar fashion.

How's the fabric folding going ... feeling like you're making headway?

Yes I really am!! I can't believe it! I am finding that you can pack a lot in those plastic bins- get them really close while still being able to see what they are.
I'm excited now instead of overwhelmed!!!!!!!!!! :D:D
