Just thought I'd show you a picture of what I've been up to lately. I got this idea on another blog and was a woman on a mission until I got it done in my own sewing studio. I still have a little bit more to go in my cabinets, but this is just an idea. Whatcha' think?
I'm loving it all standing up like little bolts. I can finally see exactly what I have, AND when I need a piece, the whole stack doesn't end up on the floor. I guess by now if you've been a follower for awhile you know I'm sort of an organizing freak. I think I'm loving this.
For those that are wondering how I got the fabric to stand up like this, I used these:
I bought mine online, but I'm sure any comic book store would have them. They are like mini bolts and are just perfect for fabric. I wrap the fabric around them and then hold it together with a small pin. :)
Happy Monday!

Looks like you're almost ready for our sewing party there! I'll bring chocolate.
Did you wrap the fabric around something or are they just folded? Wow-it is impressive!

1.go to Bin.com and search "Kwotz-Golden Words of Life"
2.then visit my blog from the the search results.
3.Remain on the page i.e Kwotz for one minute or so and do some random surfing
4. click ONE of the ads that appeals to you from AdChoices and visit there.
5.remain on that page for one minute or so and do some random surfing.
and that's it.
Note:Visit my blog from Bing.com. Only ONE click is asked and nothing else
I will be very grateful to you.
How cool is that!! Looks fantastic. That's the coolest thing about blogging - others share and I learn. You done good, Carolyn.
That's a great idea...where do you get them and how costly a project is it?

This looks fabulous! Such a great idea. I'll have to keep this in mind when I move and hopefully get my own crafting room. :D Seriously this would work so much better than keeping the fabric in bins or drawers.
Great Job!

Awesome! Wanna come do mine?
Love that idea!
I LOVE this idea!
When the basement flooded 3 years ago, and we had to have things rebuilt, we had a nook carved out under the stairs for me to store my fabric. It's triangular in shape, but we haven't gotten the shelves put in yet, because it's not square, and it involves a bit of geometry. But eventually, I'll have my fabric in there. This would make things look so nice! I'm bookmarking this page, so I don't forget it!
