Moved from linen closet to bedroom closet
 

I finally got disgusted enough with my fabric stash always being a mess and me never finding what I needed. So my husband agreed that moving the stash from the linen closet in the hall (the main storage space) to the spare bedroom might be the answer.

We bought a closet organizer from IKEA, and I found a local comic book store and bought almost all of his comic boards. All the pieces 1 yard or larger are wrapped on full boards. I cut boards in half and wrapped fq and pieces smaller than a yard. Still have a lot of work to do with my scrap baskets, but now I love to "shop" my stash.

The first 2 pics are of the old linen closet. Sliding doors were put back on the new bedroom storage after I took the pics.

oh how beautiful!

very nice job

Nice. Do you sew in this room also?

What a difference! Now you will be able to see what you have!!

Very nice! You should be proud!

It's beautiful. That is my next project in my major reorganization!

Oooh, that is so pretty!!! Great job!

I bet you use more of your stash now. Love how it looks.

I always smile when I see tidy fabric stashes..I bet you are all smiles!

Looks great

What a difference! Organizing your stash like that makes it so much more user friendly! I did this to my stash earlier this year and have been amazed at how much more I shop my stash! You should be proud!

Nice job. Well done. Have fun.:)

Great job.

Doesn't it make you feel so good to be able to look at your fabric and dream of what you will make. You did a great job organizing it, so now enjoy.

Very nice. Good job!

I have 2 closets in my sewing room. Since I do garment sewing I have lots of yardage. Closets are wondeful for that. If I ever get my stash down to less yardage and more smaller pieces, I'm going to remember your nice shelving and use that.

Nice! You must have a tremendous sense of accomplishment!

My cutting table is in this room, but my sewing table is set up near the kitchen.

What a difference that is! I know you are going to love the 'shopping' for your quilts much more now. I really need to organize my stash better. It is overflowing into the spare rooms with bins. Yikes! My problem is I have my fabrics and then there is the donated fabrics for charity that must be kept separate.

Looks great. Sew much easier to shop at home!

I keep saying I'll organize and I keep procrastinating. It's probably because I'm really afraid to see just how "much" I really have. Joyce in Delaware

Looks great!

You were one busy lady! Never underestimate the power of quilter who wants to organize!

How nice, you should be proud. Barb

Lookin' good!

WHOA! That is a huge difference! Looks awesome. :)

I agree with DonnaC, what a difference, how long did it take you to get from the linen closet to the better one. I have got to have my comic boards meet my fabrics, they are in the same room.

I keep my stash on comic boards too, it looks so nice and keeps me organized

Looks great...Very organized I would say...

Great organization. As weird as this sounds sometimes I wish I had that small of a stash; but I'm sure it wouldn't take me long to it back to overwhelming.

much better,looks beautiful now

Surprisingly only about 3 days, and that is NOT working on it all the time. I would wrap onto the comic boards while watching tv. I have to multi task or I get bored really fast.

Wow, what a difference! Nice going.

You did a great job on organizing you stash, looks great now!

Wow! Wonderful transformation, Although your linen closet looked fairly organized, I can understand the frustration of having stuff topple over and get smushed and lost. Just 3 days! I'm always surprised that it takes less time to do than to put off!

Good work. I'm sure you're loving your little quilt shoppe at home.

That was a great idea, much nicer now.

Fun! Easier to see your fabrics. Nicely done!

Wow, what a difference that made, good going, nice

Wow! That makes a big difference. Good job.
