I do have more fabric but these are the big pieces.

Here is what I did, I just took it all out and refolded it and
now it's somewhat color coated. Oh I LOVE this. Thanks for all of your help.

I'll be posting a project that I've started that's PP.

Something that might help maximize the storage on your shelves:

Measure them - if they are 36 by 12, for example, if you fold your fabric so that the pieces end up being appoximately 11 x 11, they stack nicely.

If one uses a piece of cardboard or plexiglass for a measuring guide, that helps to get consistent folds.

It's the really large and very small pieces (snibbles) that are the storage puzzlers for me.

PS - your shelves look very neat and tidy. It should be easy for you to locate what you are looking for.

What a difference. Now it's all so easy to get to. I see projects in your future. 8-)

Thank you everybody, I feel so much better now, I'm on a roll today my next project will be to clean out my corner cabinet that has all of my unfinished projects in YUK. Have to get on the floor to do that.

Found this site which I think might help you with your organization, then when you get this down pat, you can come and organize mine:-}

Thanks for that site, very interesting, I'd rather be sewing though. LOL.

I sort my folded fabrics by value, light, medium and dark. Then I can see at a glance if I am low or overstocked on certain values. I have been working on getting my sewing room organized again. It seems spring inspires us to do that! Or maybe it's the mess from a winters worth of sewing..haha

I am resorting my fabric right now. I bought a set of cubes at Target.com and have half of them put together. Hopefully I can get the other half put together to night. I love the folding idea. I will try and remember to post some pics when I am all done.

I have to get outside and work in my yard and flower beds but it has been raining all day and is way toooo muddy. I'm so glad I don't have to make the choice of where to go and work tonight after work :)

You did a great job organizing that. Now would you come over and do mine. :-D

one suggestion, turn all the fabric so the last single fold is to the outside. :)
