Get inspired to get your fabric stash organized with these fabric storage ideas for your craft space.
January is the month of organization! At least around here it is.
Once Christmas gets packed away the need for organizing comes on pretty strong.
Right now, I’m all about getting my craft space organized.
Why? Because it’s getting a BIG makeover this month (you can see how my craft room turned out here)!!
So I am naturally on the hunt for THE best craft storage solutions that I can implement in my new space!
Every Monday in January I’ll be showing off craft storage solutions from around the web for different areas of your craft space.
The 4-part series is kicking off with fabric storage solutions.
I’m a complete remnant fabric hoarder and am still perfecting my storing technique.
I hope you’re as inspired as I am by these ideas!

What do you line your wooden shelves with so that the wood won't stain your fabric?

You could use a shelf liner. They are pretty thick and would protect the fabric.

I bought hanging bags and put project pieces together so when I want to work on something I just pull out the bag, pattern instructions, pictures what ever I need is in there I just hang them in the closet in my sewing room_

I save the tubs which contain the fat balls i feed wild birds.they are perfect size for FAT QUARTERS the lids keep the dust out & allow me to stack and each tub holds^ a different colour fabric so easy to see at a glance what i have.

I like all those ideas. But I'm trying to figure out how to do when I have 25+ totes of material. Some given and some I've bought. I occasionally make baby character quilts, other quilts & other sewing things. I have small bedroom for my crafting area filled with sewing/crafting/crochet/embroidery/scrapbook things.

@Georgi clifton, same her I’m in 11 by 11 room my son put cabinets in and a cutting table so there is room in Cubbards for things but I still put projects together in hanging bags. I quilt, embroidery, and crochet. I also get bored easy so this way I don’t lose things. I got rid of my stash. By sorting it into projects. And getting rid of stuff I have had and not used since my mother passed. So I feel a lot more organized.

When I was a child my parents had close friends that we visited often. Both our houses were middle class and children played outside. To reach the friends house we had to go through Beverly Hills where the houses are large and beautiful, but not a child in sight. It’s still that way today in every upper class neighborhood I’ve been to. I guess the wealthy don’t need laws to protect their kids.Restroom
