This works like a charm. I can see the fabric at a glance, and it stays neatly waiting for me! Since the drawers close, sunlight is not a problem. For smaller pieces (fat quarters, etc.) I use see-through bins. |
Unfortunately, I don't have a sewing room so utilize anything I can including...ArtBin satchels, dresser drawers, and even plastic bags. My dream would be to have s all shelves so they would be together and in the open for easy viewing. A closet for this purpose would be perfect, because then they would be protected from the light.
Grann of 6 has it the way I wish I could. |
I store my fabric in plstic totes also, some dark colors , one in white in the basement with very little light in that room.

I store mine on open shelves, stacked flat. I like it because I can see everything right in front of me.

What a great sewing space! What are the white things you have wrapped your fabric around on the shelves?

We have a small house, so all of my fabric is in plastic tubs in the basement. I wish I could display it like everyone else.

I use the plastic stoarge boxes...on a metal shelf that rolls. So I can roll one out into my room if I need to.
