I'm always envious of those who have beautifully put together sewing rooms. I use cube storage units and bookshelves, but I'm so busy and have so much that it rarely looks so put together. It is organized, however. I sew for several dolls, sizes and makers and keep patterns according those parameters in plastic scrapbook boxes, clipping the pattern pieces together or using clear plastic bags within the box. So I may have as many as 10 patterns in one box for that one doll. I've tried other systems but this works for me. Makes it easy to put them away quickly and as I go, too.

I folded up my scraps and store them in shallow plastic bins meant for papers and folders. They are stored folded side up and are organized by color. They easily stack on each other and it’s so easy to see what fabric I have. Best system I’ve found.

My biggest challenge is just having a room big enough devoted to storing & using everything I have! Love the ideas here-- I'd sort the small bits of fabrics into clear shoe boxes that can easily stack on shelves or inside closed cabinets, organized first by main colors & then within each color box also separated by solids vs. prints/patterns. I like the vertical fabric storage idea for easier access (wrapped on cardboard), but you likely need custom cabinetry to efficiently store & separate the bolts of fabrics (both vertically & horizontally). I have found stacking fabrics makes it harder to get to pieces near the bottom without the whole stack falling over & then needing refolding.

The most challenging thing to keep organized whilst sewing is the patterns I am using and adapting. I keep each pattern in a labelled manilla envelope w/photo on the front, carefully label each piece as to whether it is a 100% original, an enlargement or reduction, and if it has been otherwise altered. This really helps when coming back to a project after a break, so I can easily pick up where I left off--or know which was my most recent version of the adaptation so I can sew another one.

`I work with smaller amounts of fabric so keep mine in small plastic containers with lids. I keep them in color order, which works best for me. I think this method might work well for you for your scrappier or smaller piece fabric. If you don’t have room for a lot of plastic containers, they do make storage containers with drawers or several divided spaces. If I have larger quantities of fabric, bulkier or speciality fabric, I roll it and stand it upright in a rope style basket. Your room looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Smaller pieces of cardboard will allow you to store the smaller fabric scraps vertically. I was just inspired to try that with a stack of roughly letter-size cardboard harvested over the years from file folder packaging. Some became disc binder dividers with pretty paper, and used others to stiffen/stabilize mailing envelopes, but now I see their potential for fabric storage...

For the smaller pieces of fabric you have in bags, I would probably get smaller clear totes (preferably the kind that stack easily) and sort by color. I would also then challenge myself to work through it in some way. Ex. As soon as I make one item using the scrap fabrics then I can make one or two items with a new fabric I’m excited about. I found if I don’t do something like that then I will never get through it.

My biggest challenge for keeping things organized in my craft room is having more than what will fit in my storage containers, either because we hit a great estate sale deal we couldn't pass up or someone cleans out their closet and donates it to us to use for ministry.

I mainly quilt and make bags, so I store my clothing fabrics separately in storage bags with a tall clear vinyl strip in the longest side. That way, I fold and stack the fabric largest cuts at the bottom up to the smallest cuts at the top so I can see at a glance what’s in there and in approximately what amount and they stay clean. My faux leathers and corks I store on rolls so they don’t get creased ( usually on the roll they came on) but I leave my 54” fancy vinyl’s and leathers on their bolts standing in a corner. I recommend you put what you use most often on your shelves and drawers, and your scraps in clear plastic storage bins of whatever size will fit, sorted by size and in separate bins for lights and darks. You can do this easily by labeling the boxes in size ranges, i.e. 5 inches or less, 10 inches or more. My sewing room is also small so you can do what I just described in 4 smallish boxes that can be stacked.

Actually, my fabric is fairly organized in cardboard dress pattern boxes (of yesterday). They stack perfectly for storage. However, when I pull fabrics to audition a pattern, that’s when I get in trouble. Attempting to return the rejected fabrics to correct storage boxes isn’t as much fun as pulling them originally.

I store my fabric on shelves, folded so it's side by side rather than on top of each other. I sort my fabric by type, and then by color. I have jars and various pretty containers holding lace and buttons. Those are sorted by color and placed on the shelves in front of the fabric or between fabrics. The shelves I use are wooden store shelves that are adjustable. They were plain around the edge, so my husband put pretty trim around the edge of them for me. We also repurposed an entertainment center found at a thrift shop. Taking the doors off the top half, replacing the back with beadboard, and putting in fixed shelves. I use this for additional supplies as well as doll displays and the bottom for doll items like wigs, shoes, etc. I found a tall table (square countertop height table) at a thrift shop and repurposed it as a fabric cutting/work table. Hubby and I attached a smooth wood top and edged it with trim. Now I have a large work surface at just the right height.

Hi, Iam also visual. The best way for scraps under eighth quarter is clear bins with labels of the color on it. Now I say it is the best way for me but really it is what I have done. But I not sure that is the best way because also as a visual person I like my fabrics to play with another. I like a little chaos if inspires creativity. So my color bins, were such a great idea but then why do I gravitate to the barrel of scraps that need to be sorted. Looking at that barrel of colorful soup of scraps inspire me to make beautiful quilts. So my recommendation is to have a little of both. If I am looking for greens, I can go to the green bin and find what I want, but if I want scrapy and to be inspired to color outside the lines I go to that mixed up barrel, or barrel's depending the stage of my sewing room. I am sorry I probably was not much help.
