Stash
#22
Mine is stored on an open shelving unit. FQ are in under the bed plastic storage bins, precut squares in another plastic 5-drawer unit, supplies, notions and strips are in a 3-drawer plastic unit. Small scraps are sorted by color and stacked in plastic shoe boxes.
Not perfect, but it'll do for now.

I have mine in clear plastic totes by color and also by children's, Seasonal fabrics and ethic fabrics. I try to clean my sewing room after each major project, so that I can start anew with a clean room and everything put back in it's place (for a minute!!)

Since I live in Senior Housing, you can imagine my limited amoount of space. Bedroom is quite large, but has to serve as sewing room and storage. At a yard sale I found a 4-drawer file cabinet which works very well and everything is sorted by color. BUT---I also use 2 drawers in the dresser and chest of drawers. Oh, yes, my machine is also in there. The bed?????somewhere.LOL

I have a dresser and several shelving units that I keep fabric in. I cover the shelving units with quilts and clothespins to keep the fabric from fading. I also store in plastic tubs. I don't like to store in cardboard because of the reaction of wood products and cotton causing fabric to yellow. It's pretty organized. I put the fabrics together that are going in a quilt, and then I have a small stash that is un-designated for any specific quilt. I LOVE my stash! I get so much comfort from it!

For a long time I've had 4 of the 25 hole wooden shoe
containers in my closet. I tacked a piece of plastic
over them to keep the dust out. But my shoes were all
over the closet floor so I had to take back one of them.
NO one needs over 25 pairs of shoes, but I do NEED all
my fabric stash!!

I keep some of mine in clear plastic boxes. But I do have large plastic bins for some of it too. I like the clear boxes best, because it is easy to see when looking for a certain fabric.

Years ago I had cabinets made to hold cross stitch and other crafts. Now one holds odd pieces of batting and the top of these cabinets now have book cases sitting on top.This is where I store my fabric. The fabric is folded to fit the shelves. I went "up" and it gave me a lot of space. My closet in my sewing room holds rolled batting and most of my green and black material.
