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 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.

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
