the old one 05-01-2011 03:38 AM

If I had wall space, there would be one of those. Wonderful idea, not just for the storage, but protecting the pieces from wrinkles and ragged edges. piecefully, the old one

I used quilting fabric and Timtex to make this. The back is one pannel of Timtex covered with fabric on both sides. I made tubular slings of quilting fabric also stiffened with Timtex and sewed them across the top to the back pannel. The whole thing is about 36" long and 20" wide.

I like your idea.

jeaninmaine 05-01-2011 04:02 AM

Terrific and it adds a little color to the room for you.

lovelyl 05-01-2011 04:10 AM

What a wonderful idea! One could even label each fabric "bin" with what is stored in in (maybe with an embroidery machine)! Thank you so much for the idea! Could you come and act as a consultant for redoing my sewing room? :)

stinson5043 05-01-2011 04:11 AM

Great idea.What does the rest of your sewing room look like?

Latrinka 05-01-2011 04:15 AM

would you believe I would have to find space on my walls. - Good idea though == J

pollyjvan9 05-01-2011 04:40 AM

Great Idea. Think I will make a narrow one to hang on the back of one of the closet doors.

mommamac 05-01-2011 04:40 AM

now that's thinking 'outside the box'

DeeBooper 05-01-2011 04:41 AM

neat idea.

lfstamper 05-01-2011 04:58 AM

Great idea! How long are the slings before they are rolled?

glenda5253 05-01-2011 05:06 AM

How clever of you! Want to come over and see what you can do with my space? :lol:

Each sling started out just about square at 20" x 19". The Timtex I had was 20" wide, and most of the rolls of freezer paper, etc that I wanted to store were about 18" so I decided to just use the width of the Timtex for the width of the slings. I settled on 19" for the length to cut the Timtex so that I would have plenty of wiggle room to be able efficiently use a single WOF (width of fabric) cut for each sling.

As others have suggested, the size of this project could be varied to accommodate storing things other than freezer paper rolls, so do what works for you. The overall length was designed to be just the right length to clear the top of my quilting table enough so that I hope it won't interfere when there's a quilt "in progress" on the table. I spaced the slings evenly over the length of the backing, and that came out to be about 6 3/4 inches between each one.

Is anyone interested in a tutorial on this? It would be fun to do one if anyone wants it. :D
