To store most of my fabric I was using cute boxes from Ikea that had some red of course…
Unfortunately, as a stash grows I found that the problem with these was that you couldn’t easily see what you’d hid away. Even though I tried to label them it wasn’t as fun as being able to walk in the room and gaze upon my lovely fabric. The only benefit I can see of these boxes is that they completely keep out the sunlight. As a replacement I found excellent clear plastic tubs that fit ideally in my large Ikea Billy bookcase.
First I had to clean up though…John had a laugh at this…
It did get worse before it got better…
At this point I’d made room for three more bins!…
Oh so tidy and nice, mom would be proud. I struggled to figure out how to organise it all but I settled on this system: boxes for my unreasonable collection of Christmas fabric, boxes for collections of material that I wanted to keep together from the same designer, a box for solids, dots and stripes and the rest is split into darks and lights. That’s how it will stay for now!
Where’s the yarn stash?
Lol! It’s in even larger clear bins that I got when we moved under my cutting table. Embarrassed to show that! Actually, it’s not too bad!

You need to show us pictures. Nothing like drooling over other’s stash.
I’ll see if I feel like a clean up of yarn soon too then!

I am proud of you but not just because you now have a nice and neat stash of fabric! LOL!
Ha ha ha. I get it from you!
