Finally! I’m making my way through the disorganized mounds of sewing and craft supplies that have been littering our bedroom floor since we had to move everything out for the floor redo. I’ve never had a great system for storing my fabric, but now that I am sewing on a regular basis, I need a workable system more than ever! There is quite a bit of work left to be done, but I was so excited about my weekend fabric accomplishment that I thought I’d share! It’s looking so pretty!
I first saw these Fabric Organizers on Lindsay’s blog, The Cottage Home. As soon as I saw this post of Lindsay’s studio, the fabric organizers went on my list, but I wasn’t able to purchase them until last week! They are made from a lightweight material with little tabs to secure your fabric to the organizer. It wraps up into neat little bolts which fit perfectly on my old desk.
I grouped the fabrics by color as I went along, moving them around until I found the color progression visually appealing. Once I lined them up on my desk, I made a couple breaks in the row with large jars that I have filled with ribbon. I may not keep the large ribbon jars, but I do like the groupings. It makes me so happy to have all my pretty fabric out where I can stare at it! Kind of like my very own fabric shop.

I bought a different brand of a similar fabric organizer and I love the result! Fabric in drawers just does not work. Will soon be moving my sewing room to a different house and the first thing will be to get the rest of my fabric wrapped on the organizers and up on shelves where I can easily pull them to try–just like a quilt shop. I have found that I can wrap some fabrics then slip the board out and mix them with the rest and they will still stand. Why? I started with an order of 200 boards. Ordered a second 200. Need at least 200 more. Do we EVER have too much fabric?

Truly lovely! Like others, I’m jealous. I recently re-organized my fabric using a plastic 3 drawer dresser and a plastic filing bin (got the idea from You Tube) with hanging file holders. I am also creating a cardboard shelving unit until I can get our wooden one from our cabin. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful, but be careful, sunlight will fade the colours at the fold… It happend with me, it would be a waste of Beautiful fabric…

Good advice! This room gets very little direct sunlight and it doesn’t reach over to the fabric area, so fortunately, I haven’t had any fading in the few years that the fabrics have been there. I have had others fade though and it’s the worst thing!!

These look great but do you have any ideas for organizing several yards of each kind of fabric?

I’ve been buying foam poster board from the Dollar Tree and making my own small bolt cards. I get 6 bolts made from 1 poster board..not bad for $1 🙂

just came across this post due to a pinterest link. followed links until I found a place to buy them, http://www.clotilde.com and it looks like they are using the photo from your blog. Did they ask your permission or pay you for your photo? Just curious as I’ve been reading a lot lately about companies just taking pictures from blogs without asking permission from owners.
