I go to the fabric stores and ask for the bolts that they throw away and go home take them apart and cut to size I need to roll my stash on Would work great in your tubs as well
good luck to you God Blessings |
If you have a garage, you can buy a large cabinet with doors and store fabrics there. It is kind of like the store - you have to go get it, but it can be organized and easy to find. You can put smaller clear plastic totes on the shelves. Mark the totes with what is in it (Christmas fabrics, childrens) etc. Maybe not the most ideal answer, but it does work.

I found that those under the bed shoe storage bins work great. I fold my fabric like I usually do, with my 6x24 ruler, then fold them in half and lay them sideways in each compartment. I can fit about 5-6 pieces of fabric in each section. There are 12 sections. The lid is see through vinyl and the whole thing zips to keep out dust. They are one of those "As Seen on TV" products. I got them at Hancock Fabrics. You can probably get them wherever "As Seen on TV" products are sold.
Not just for shoes anymore!!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]274304[/ATTACH] |
My husband made me shelves in an extra bedroom. I then sorted some of my fabric by color. I left my silks in a tub , my velvets in a tub and any other fancy fabrics in another tub. I marked my tubs with what the contents are. Since then I have gotton much more so I have a triple dresser and an antique hutch full. Good luck.

Am I the only one missing the pertinent point. DO something with that stash! What is the point of storing it, building shelves to see it. When you bought it you thought it was great. Just "DO It!" Do something with it.
I know some of you have a quilt store. I'm asking "regular" quilters why build up stash? |
I hear ya, sister!!!!

if you have closet space , try getting the hanging shoe or sweater organizer , they hold cubby bins or just fabric, doesnt really take that much space away from you either.
