WOW... such inspiration! I'm not trying to start WWIII...but.. for me.. personally...I failed at keeping my fabrics stacked up. A couple years ago I got allll my fabrics neatly organized (sorted by colors and stacked up sooo pretty) and I was thrilled! But... thennnn...I pawed through it (sometimes in a hurry) making mug rugs, table toppers and OTHER Christmas projects. OIVEY.. it's a mess now...again.. still.. whatever...LOL Soooo.. I am going to try using the acid free Comic book boards and get it all reeeeeeee-reeeeeeeeeee---reeeee organized and stored on end. I need to be able to pull it out/put it back or I make a holy mess out of things.

I'd LOVE to use the "coroplast" boards for the inserts, but they are wayyyy out of my financial reach for the amount of fabric I have.

I will say the photos posted in this "mission organization" thread are extremely inspirational to me!

Thanks!

Looks wonderful! Wondering about your folding technique. I am trying to fold my fabric using the 24" ruler. Just getting started myself. Your work is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

I am spending the weekend organizing my sewing area. I have a sewing desk with 3 drawers and a cabinet, plus 2 or 3 of the plastic storage drawer towers from Walmart. I had a box of scraps that was starting to overflow in my sewing desk, so here's what I did: I went through my drawers and pulled out anything smaller than a quarter flat and put it in a shoe box size plastic container. After that I got my scrap box and pulled out all the cotton and separated it into two boxes of prints and 3/4 box of solids. I did that with the scraps from my drawer also. Then I got all the fleece and put it back in the scrap box it started in. I feel so accomplished now that my scraps aren't overflowing. haha. In an effort to keep my never-ending projects organized, once I get material or notions or whatever for a project I put in a plastic shopping bag and loop a masking tape label around the handle specifying what the project is or who it's for and the name of the pattern. I also have all my quilt pattern magazine pages all in page protectors in a binder organized by size with tabbed dividers then alphabetically within each section. Hope this helps! I also have all my not-in-use stuffing and batting in lugs in the closet.
