I store all my sewing supplies/stash in a corner in our bedroom. I do my sewing in the kitchen. I found tall bookcases with doors at Walmart and store my fabrics in there. I have one for cotton and one for flannel. I can see at a glance what I have and still keep it clean. I store my thread, scissors, etc. in plastic shoe boxes with lids on top of the bookcases. I have 5 and each one is for specific items. I store my batting in Rubbermade totes that sit between the bookcases.
