Last week I shared how I organize my fabrics in drawers. But when I have over 3 yards of a fabric I like to keep them on the bolt. When I put my plastic drawers under my shelves I ended up with a bit of space in between so I decided to store some of my bolts there. I get the cardboard free from the fabric stores. They usually have a ton, and they are just throwing them away. I always ask first, and never take more than I need.
I usually buy most of these fabrics 10 yards at a time, so I eventually took over the bottom shelf as well. As for the minky, I only buy about 5 yards at a time, but it has so much bulk to it, that anything over 3 yards is impossible to fold and keep neatly. Most of this fabric is used for products I sell in my etsy shop (I've reduced my inventory of products until I can catch up a bit).
This last pile of gorgeous fabrics is from Michael Miller's Collection- Feeling Groovy and RoundAbout. I fell in love with the purple and green fabrics, and when we found out we were having a boy it wasn't hard to convince Prince Charming to decorate his room in the blue and green version of this fabric. Baby Brother is now 4 months old, and his room still isn't finished, but we are nearly done painting it! I hope to start posting tutorials for some of the decor in his room very soon!

It's so nice to see how you are organizing your fabric stash. Thanks for the idea.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea, so organised and neat. It puts my stash area to shame ((Blush!!))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stash and so organized!
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep the dust off (or fur, if like me, you've got a cat who (like me) can't resist a cute, fuzzy) fabric? Or perhaps the answer is when it's organized, you can use it more quickly b/c you can see what you have.... Hmmmmm.... ;)
Wow, what a gorgeous stash of fabric! I am drooling over it. :)

This is a great idea! I'm drowning in fabric and I don't have nearly as much as you. I especially liked the idea of getting cardboard bolts from fabric stores.
ReplyDeleteOver from Amaze Me Mon. What a great job of organization you have done. Such beautiful fabrics!
ReplyDeleteUm, I'm kind of drooling all over your awesome fabric right now. And I went to your Etsy store - awesome stuff!!! Thanks for linking to the Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop!

Oh my goodness! So jealous of your awesome organizational skills! I could use sooo much help in that department.. you are my organizing hero! Thanks so much for sharing with the Pink Hippo Party.. can't wait to see what you share next!
ReplyDelete@Brennan's MomMost of my fabrics are kept in drawers, but if I had a cat still they would all be in drawers! I guess you could cover the bolts- I would cover with clear plastic cut to size so I could see everything, but cover it back easily.
ReplyDeleteLisa!
