wow..stash manicure is a funny lady. Did you see the cute mug rug with a pocket near the bottom...very cute. Nice idea for tea lovers.

Didn't mean to get off topic, but...

Thanks for all the great storage ideas!

I converted the closet in my SR to all wire shelving (6 shelves) with the floor open for the stackable drawers. I Also have a lawyers bookcase that I keep my batiks in, arranged by color. The bags that window treatments or linens come in that have the zippers are great for storing on-going projects or whatever.

I have two large credenza with two drawers each, made for hanging files. I hang my fabric over the hanging files, filed by color. The fabric is easy to see/find. The four drawers contain: 1. Blue fabric 2. Red & green fabric 3. Neutrals
4. Large cuts (not hanging)

Mine are stored in the plastic shoe box size, by color or theme. I have labeled them on the outside of the box with painters tape. The larger amounts of fabric, like for backing etc, I store on my bookshelves.

This is a tute I did a while back. I store my fabric so I can see it and am able to use more of my stash that way. I hope this helps. :-D

Thanks in advance,

I store mine in plastic boxes with lids (color coded) I also use the colored boxes to keep my fat quarters Color coded in. Easier to find that way. I do have a box for the project I am doing or going to do next. I am now starting to fold all the lengths onto cards for easier handling less wrinkling thanks to one of the members from this board showing us how, they are stored in plastic drawers out of the way in a corner of my sewing room.
