    3 - 5 drawer chests and a 3 drawer plastic chest. I have to hunt before I can sew (ha!ha!).

    I would NEVER add up the yardage in my stash! That is a useless number--not good for anything!! haha

    This is why I feel at home here. No one thinks it is weird to have a room for fabric.

    I would guess I have 2500-3000 yards. 90% is batik and the rest is probably Kaffe Fassett.

    I just told my husband that I dibbed the new room he just created above the garage as mine. Now if he would just get it finished, I could really sort and spread out and go to town with projects. right now I'm cramped into a small room where I can't find half of my stash....

    I think knowing how many yards I have is way too much information! LOL! I really haven't started the big bins -- I have a corner shelf that is 3' on one side and 5' on the other that isi about 6' tall and it is stuffed with some small project boxes on top. I have another 10-15 small project boxes on pegboard shelves -- one larger bin with 5" squares and one with 6"squares. Two 35 gal bins of scraps and another of interfacing. 2 wall of a walk in closet in the laundry room (one with home deck and cotton and one with flannel) that I can't easily get because of the batting in front. I have about 9' or overhead kitchen-type upper cabinets in the laundry room with fabric and 2 shelves in a guest room linen closet with fabric and the guest closed full of unfinished projects, yarn and batting. I also have bags of fabric that does not yet have a home, but I keep looking for extra space. Sigh -- I really need to do some stash busting work but have not got the energy right now.

    I think some of you could open a re-sell shop from your stash! I think I'm limited by space and ideas to keep purchasing material. I thought I was doing bad having four unfinished or "to be started" projects.
