Wow! I don't feel so bad after reading all these posts. We live in a 5 BR house with a full basement. One of the bedroons is my sewing room, one is a guest room/yarn/craft/quilt room, my quilting machine takes up most of the den area, and my storage room is full of fabric and batting. In case of a fire, what in the world would I grab first???

(If you have an extra closet you can alway buy some of those 5-in-one hangers that one end unhooks and hang a LOT of fabric in a closet. Extra dresser drawers, pizza boxes under the couch or chairs(if if they have a skirt), a small shelf under your husbands shirts in the closet, replace end tables with the kind that have storage space to the floor, pick up some of those decorative stacking boxes--no sense in them sitting empty. )
Those are all very good ideas. I will have to think on what will work for us. Thanks!

As for so much fabric, we live in a small home, about 1,000 square feet, so I only keep scraps and fabric for a current project. I also Xstitch, and am getting started in making dolls, so my rolling storage box is full. Now I can't go shopping for awhile. :-(

Those flat under-the-bed storage bins are great for small areas. If you have an extra closet you can alway buy some of those 5-in-one hangers that one end unhooks and hang a LOT of fabric in a closet. small home. Get creative then go shopping.[/quote]
