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.

Jealous for two reasons: You have beautiful fabric, and it’s so nicely displayed! I will have to look into those, thanks so much for sharing. 🙂

Oooooooooh, great stash, Stef!! Love it – thanks for linking. Everything looks so pretty and organized! Isn’t it so much more fun creating when you can see all your fabric all neatly lined up?

Great job! I didn’t want to spend the money on them, so I made my own at of Foam Core for free! Isn’t it great being able to see all your fabric nicely displayed? Please stop by Sew Woodsy and link up this project!

Poop, Google Chrome just ate my comment!
Anyhoo, this is fabric eye candy, it looks wonderful, yet still practical.
The jars are a lovely way to break the fabrics up.

I might have died and gone to heaven. That might be the most beautiful organziation project I’ve ever seen. It’s like art Stef. Your very own fabric shop, how neat! xo

It looks beautiful! I remember seeing that same post over at The Cottage Home. I love that you can actually see all of your fabric and know what you have.

that looks absolutely delicious. I have neat little piles of fabric (and, you know… a giant mound of fabric that should be added to the neat piles) but I think the fabric organizers are much prettier…

I’m so jealous! First of all because you have so many gorgeous fabrics, secondly because you don’t have to dig through a box to find anything. I love it. I think I need some of those fancy schmancy little fabric organizers. Thanks for sharing!
