My dear - that is organization!!!! Best be quilting and sewing than organizing any further. LOL. Doubt the fabric boards will help, as they take up room also, however, a definite advantage for searching. JMO. Silvia

Smaller yardages are in plastic bins, along with jelly rolls and layer cakes.
Towards the back of the room you can see my sewing machine on the tables in the foreground, and my embroidery machine on the table in against the back wall. It feels good to be organized!
So, show us pics of your room, too. I always like seeing how others organize their workspace.

I noticed that you had lights above your fabrics. You might want to cover the fabrics from the light source as they will fade the fabrics very quickly especially the darker colors. I know as it happened to me. I now have a piece of muslin over the area where I store mine. However, I wish mine looked as organized as yours.
