I have towers of plastic storage boxes, stacked up on two walls in my room. Each holds a different color fabric : Red/Pink, Blue, Yellow/Cream, Teal/Aqua, Multi Color Brights, Multi Color Darks, etc. This really helps keep the mess contained. I also have a short plastic drawer tower on wheels, that sits next to my sewing space with a Quilter's Square' n Press on top. Pressing blocks as I sew is easy, I just spin to the right and the iron is right there. I have a long extension cord on my iron, so if I need to use the ironing board, set up behind me, I can easily move the iron back there and then bring it back to the smaller ironing pad. Over the years, I've had to change the size of the boxes as I've gotten more of certain colors, but that's fairly easy to do. I watch until the storage boxes are on sale and make sure to measure what size I need, before heading off to the store. I also put stick on labels on both the cover and the side of the box. Hope this helps.
