Go to a Dollar Tree or the like and get storage boxes that a a little smaller than a shoe box. Then organize by color , theme , etc. , etc.

When we did moved to our new house I did plastic storage units with drawers by color. It was ok, but still a pain to find what I wanted. I redid with the ruler folded method. LOVE IT!!!! I can open the cabinet look at everything at once and pull what I want. I shop my own stash! But, organizing by color or theme any way you do it will make you feel so much better. You go girl.

I wrapped all my fabric on cardboard, used the flap off of moving boxes.. then I line it all up, on it's side.. then sorted it by color.. that way it doesnt matter how deep the shelf is.. . It works for me.. Sorry but I just can't see taking my fabric money to spend on those comic boards.

...have you thought about using foam core board - and wraping your fabric around a board similiar to how fabric is sold in the stores?? Worked for me - and I love it.

I'll take some of your stash and then that will help! I would love to have a large room like that! LUCKY! :lol: :lol:

I had to get rid of other crafts....didn't want to but I was run over with too much stuff so I couldn't do anything! Better to get rid of things and be able to do one thing right. Good luck.

Lots of good advice here... use plastic bins but FIRST...separate your fabrics by color.... maybe there are some that don't appeal to you anymore (sale on this site).. seems like lots of drooling going on here... ha ha
If it seems too overwhelming... just do one area at a time. When you have separated your gorgeous fabrics.. begin to load them in the plastic bins.. You can see through them so it should not be difficult to find anything once everything is stored. Good luck... take your time. When frustration sets in... stop... go back when you feel better.. good luck.

Wow your stash looks like mine :thumbup: no order what so ever, glad im not the only one, but i do know where my fabric is lost on a shelf....Yuo can cut the shelf in half. you'll have twice the shelves

This is what I do in my closet, but when I fold the fabric in half again it is 11". I have 16" deep shelves and like the little extra space at the front. The fabric just looks so nice all lined up that I never get it messed up any more; am very careful when I take something out or put something back.

It will take a minute or two..but the first thing I did was seperate all the fabric into color piles..I also seperated my scraps into colors also..the scraps I put into gallon zip lock bags, the rest of the colored fabric I folded and put in see thru plastic s-m size bins..it took a few days, but it was worth the time..but I don't think I have as much fabric as you..Good Luck
