I have file cabinets under my cutting tables to store my smaller fabrics in. Have done that for several years. I just ruler folded mine and lined them up in the drawers. Here are some old pics I found to show what I have done.

Great idea. I love thinking "outside the box".

never thought of that, but used the same concept for my magazines---just open them at the center and and hang them over the file folder---can see the front cover and can browse through much quicker. Plus they are put away and kept dust free.

Neat Idea! Thanks

OK, I have to ask. How did you fold the fabric to go in the folders?

Quilters are great at repurposing/recycling items.

Did you decoupage the pictures to the front of the file cabinet? I think this idea is brilliant. So creative. thank your sister.

And I have a file cabinet I can use and the file folders. Did you prime the cabinet before painting? brush, roller, or spray?
