thanks again for suggestions.
aardvarq love your idea of making cards or templates to fold your fabric to keep it a certain size. i think that is a wonderful idea if you have a specific size of container/drawer/shelf to store your fabric in.
everyone have such great solutions for questions.
all we have to do is ask.

I bought the (canvas) sweater hanging storage shelves. There are six shelves in each storage and are 12"x12", thus taking up only 12" of the closet pole...
.
You can also buy drawers that will fit into the shelves, great for patterns and small stuff.......
I also bought the shoe storage hanger which has 10 bins, 6"x12" and you wouldn't believe how much you can fit into the compartments.and when the closet door is closed, all is hidden.

I think the thing is here that there is some madness to our "organization." And some of us (definitely not me) have proven to be more organized than others. But there is still a lot ot spontanaity in our lives. Stick with us -- we're having fun.

thank you GailG for the encouragement. possibly i read more into the reply than was intended.
mjsylvstr sewing the edges before washing sounds like wonderful idea. i will try it on my flannel especially. i nip the corners but it still ravels a lot. what a mess when washing more than one piece at a time.
thanks everyone for suggestions and pictures. there are lots of ideas .
