I live on a boat, so my stash has to be crammed into lots of weird nooks and crannies. About 1/4 of it lives right now in bins stacked on the counter in the guest bathroom. A roll of batting lives in the guest shower! Stash is higher priority than guests right now 😂

Under my bed. But only the ones that have fabric with a specific pattern and they are wrapped in butcher paper to keep them all together. Just fabric is in tubs under my quilt frame and I only have to move them when I get to that section of my quilt.

Thank you for telling us that it’s no one’s business how much fabric we have. My husband says if bills are paid, groceries bought he doesn’t care how much fabric I bought. It saddens me when I hear women talk about sneaking in fabric so their husbands don’t know they have more fabric.

Your stash is GREAT! I love your cabinets. I used to store my fabric in bins and kind of on shelves but it was a mess & it stressed me out. I took 2 weeks and pulled all fabric out, sorted by color, assigned a SKU (blu1, blu2) and wrote it in the selvedge. My husband added shelves to the guest closet behind bi-fold. Pieces greater than 1.25yds goes on a top shelf, 1/8 up to 1.25yd on the middle shelf, themes on the lower shelf. As I finish a project, I log it on my spreadsheet, which fabric I used for which project. It really helps if I remember a fabric I want to use but don't remember if I have any. Anything smaller than 1/8yd but too big to cut into a scrap square or rectangle, goes in a bin labeled "chunky scraps." As I finish a project and have small pieces they are cut into squares & rectangles up to 3.5". I have found that, other than 2.5" for bindings, I don't use strips so I've gradually used them up & don't cut more. I take "inventory" every year or so, like you, so I can play with my fabric and re-sort. I can see how much fabric I used each year & it's a good feeling. Everyone needs to find a system that works for them but for me, I need to be organized or I just can't sew. ;)

I do the comic cardboard, but do not use pins or clips, they are vertically “book stored” and keep intact when I am auditioning and easy to replace back on the shelf. Then, … since I was a science major all my batiks are ROY-G-BIV placed on my shelving. I Then have several sections, a Kaffe section and my florals. This is followed by the polka dot, then the stripes. Grunge, the plain background unique solids get a section. Then the oddballs that you talked about, animals, geometric prints, coffee, food, juvenile. I have a large stash so my up coming projects, next to do…. are stored on their own shelf with a ribbon tie and the pattern, a grab and go!!! I need to see my stuff so I can adjust my fabric choices should I need to. I am very fussy on my fabric selection, so I normally purchase 2-3 yards of each. The whites and blacks are in a Elfa type bin next to the workbench so I can easily audition. My sewing room was made for me when I purchased my home 10 years ago. I totally outgrew it 8 years ago. My system works for me, and when people visit my home the sewing room is usually an eye popper. My friends are not quilters, they look at me with disbelief…..they say it is pretty, but they are gobsmacked.😳

I store yardage the same behind closed doors. I use an acrylic 8" wide long ruler and wrap it around it much like you would wrap a bolt and then pull out the ruler and fold it in half and align in in stacks by color on the shelf. This makes every piece precisely the same size and the only time I refold them is if I use part of it.

I love in Canada, so buying any kinda yardage is just impossible on a fixed income. I buy mostly 100% cotton men's shirts for the fabric. Now I need a good source for thread and batting and backing. I do look at blankets n sheets at thrift stores. And I look at wool coats for harvesting that. I might be a throwback pioneer.

I have 4 upright 30X72 cabinets. I use my 6X24 ruler to wrap my fabrics and then fold in half like you do. So, anything over 18 inches and under 4 yards get folded and stored that way. Anything over 4 yards gets folded 12X22 the folded in half. There is a drawer in the middle of the cabinets and my FT's and half yard pieces get folded and stored in there. I have 2 scrap bins. That's it. My local quilt shop has a scrap box for pieces to be cut up for dog beds for rescue dogs, any batting or fabric scraps 2 inches and less get donated to the box. Larger pieces that I don't want any more, get donated to the scrap bin for other quilters to buy for $5 a bag. I don't cut my scraps into sizes, not a big fan of scrappy quilts. I make at least one pillowcase per quilt, depending on size to store it in. So, I use up alot of fabric that way. I chose the closed cabinets because I have 2 windows in my sewing room and I noticed that some of them started to fade on the fold line when I used bookcases. They are of course, organized by color and mine are all labeled with the amount and where and when I bought then, whenever possible. I got tired of pulling out a piece only to fine it was not enough.

I, too, store much of my fabric by color in stacks on shelves. The only tip I would add is the folding step. I start at one end and fold around and around just as fabric is wound onto bolts. Then when I pull it off the shelf, a a loose edge is already available (usually squared properly) and I can unwind as much length as I need.

I have 7 metal shelves like you do, loaded with fabric. Mine are also sorted. I actually use cardboard pieces and fold my fabric similar to what you find in the stores. Some "boards" are @6" wide and some @3" . If I have more than a couple of yards, I actually have a cardboard piece that is the same size as actual bolt cardboard. It's amazing how well it works. And I can see all my fabrics basically at a glance.

I ❤ LOVE❤ YOUR STASH, THE WAY YOU ARANGED IT AND THOSE CABINETS ARE TO DIE FOR.....Just 3 weeks into watching your channel. Will be a long time sub. I have a problem reading patterns and then turning them into works of art, what can I do to help the process?

I too have a hard time reading patterns. I do better with pictures. As your skills improve you will be able to figure out patterns better (just from experience). I wish I had a better answer for you!

The only stash I have is small scraps. I only buy what I need for my project, I sew clothes so I will only buy the fabric I need for that pattern. I can’t afford to have a fabric stash.

On your silver shelf/cart flip your rake shelf over to have the lip up...easy.

Since I have a small house I have one cabinet that my fabric must fit in so I shop for projects.
