Look what I did all by myself
1 Attachment(s)
We had this shelving unit in the attic, so I commandeered it for my own. After getting it out of the attic, which was no small job. Thank goodness when I put it there, I had made it 2 pieces. So, I washed it down, rearranged the shelves to accommodate my brand new roll of warm and natural, used an old shower rod to hold the batting. Then hung it by the chains. My only cost was the 2 clips holding it to the upper shelf and the chain. All for less than $15.00. Pretty proud of myself, but tired. So much for sewing today :)

You had a smart idea, that is great.
|
Great idea! :)
|
Looks good and awesome idea.
|
Brilliant! I just might copy your idea.
|
Hey - I've got one of those shelving units......hmmm......might have to copy this idea. Thanks for sharing!
|
I like your method of supporting the roll of warm and natural. Thanks for posting ! I now have a way to hang mine.
|
Genius! I have a batting roll...hmmm... Ideas rolling around in my brain! Thank you for sharing and great job.
|
Way to go, Girl!
|
great idea for the batting even better that you already had the shelf
|
How are you going to measure and cut? Love this idea but not the thought of taking off and on. Hope you have a secret!
|
Great idea and you already had the biggest part.
|
Brilliant! I especially love the way you hung the batting!!! I need to do something like that, instead of just cramming it onto the top of my shelving. :thumbup:
|
Shouldn't be too hard to pull the amount of batting you need. Just keep a tape measure handy right at the dowel with a yard stick and cut straight across. Super idea.
|
Sweeee-eeeet! If you clamp a piece of wood across the whole front of the shelf just below the shelf above the batt, it will kind of be like a big foil or waxed paper box. You can roll the edge of the batt up over the wood and through the space to hang down a little. Tape a tape measure to the one side of the shelving unit down to the floor. You can them pull down how much you need by the tape measure and trim it off up at the wood for a nice straight edge.

Very nice idea - - thanks for sharing.
|
Great idea! I've been looking for a way to store the bolt of batting I recently bought. Thanks for sharing.
|
Thank you all for your comments. I hope this might work for some of you. I've gotten lots of really good tips off this board and I wanted to share mine. That's what we're here for, isn't it? To help each other.
|
Wow what a great idea! I have mine hany one a rod in the basement. Works great but your idea is brillant!
|
You have a creative streak! Like your idea - keeps everything off the floor and accessible!
|

sometimes organization comes before sewing
|
This is genius! Very innovative
|
How creative. Way to go!
|
What a clever idea! Good thinking...
|
Way to go, spunky girl! :-)
|
All of my fabric is stored on a set of 4 of these shelving units (on wheels) in my studio. I may have to clear off a couple of shelves and make room for a roll of batting. I have wanted to purchase a roll but couldn't figure out how to store it where it would stay clean and be easy to get to. Thanks for sharing your idea.
|
Now that is really cool!!!
|
That's a clever idea! I've thought about just purchasing a whole roll of batting, but I've held off because I didn't want it just stacked in the corner of a closet. I agree this would make it so much easier to measure. Hmm, you've given me something to think about....
|
NEVER underestimate the power of a woman !Hugs
|
sure do like this idea! Now, where to put it??
|
that is such an awesome idea! I've been dreaming of a better way to get the batting off the roll--now, wait a few years for the kids to grow up and move out, clean the basement and reclaim one of those shelving units and I'll be all set! thanks for sharing!
|
Love that idea for the batting.
