I have 3 full size file cabinents and a 2 drawer cabinent - hubs used to be a consultant and had an office - now the cabinents are in the attic! It looks as if the fabric is folded over the edge of the hang files - very interesting. share t

    It looks like the racks at men's clothing stores and they have the pants hanging just like this fabric. Sure gives me ideas.

    Thanks---I have empty 4-drawer in garage full of hangers. Guess what is coming back into the house. Maybe I should try a few before I get the "eye roll routine" from DH. I love the idea.

    If so you could drape a sheet of acid-free paper between the folder and the fabric.
