But, it was a mess! And frustrating when I needed a scrap of that lining I got for that dress last year sometime. . .
So, lots of Amazon box lids later, I am organized! If I had more time (and a higher end box cutter), I might also organize by knits and wovens and then by color. But until then, here are some pics!

I still have some odd items squished in the corners but I feel like I could "shop" my own stash now!

Date: 9/13/12 12:37 PM Super nice job you did! And that little helper is too adorable peeking out at you! I bet he would just love to climb around in all that fabric! ------ Thank you Lord for my Mother who taught me the joy of sewing. |

I have gradually transitioned from Fabric in Bins to Fabric in Bags to Fabric on Bolts. I would put everything on bolts but I've got limited shelf space. It definitely makes it easier to see what you've got.

Date: 9/14/12 5:57 PM Wow-what a difference! I'm sure it took a while, especially if your helper was there the whole time (LOL), but you'll enjoy this organization every time you "shop" your stash for a piece of fabric. Way to go! |

Fabric is the easy part of organizing.
Finding all those seam rippers and scissors that keep disappearing is the real test of organization!
I have yet to pass this test for more than 24 hours.
ETA: where is the Spellcheck! Lost that too.
