Okay here's a tip. Do you know when you go to buy some thread there sometimes on like a piece of cardboard and wrapped around it. You can do the same thing with small sewing pieces. All you would need to do is find some empty cereal boxes or old show boxes or old cardboard boxes. Cut them into strips and then wrap your sewing pieces around it. For example. If you have 10 12" X 12" pieces of sewing odds and ends. Just fold them in half and then fold then until there about 12" X 2" or 3". And then take the 12" and wrap it around the piece of cardboard or cereal box or what ever your using. And you can even use paper clips to hold them into place. And you can even over lap the pieces if you cold it into 2" or 3" finished folds then just take the next folded piece and go a inch or so over the previous piece. That way there over lapped and taking up less room. And on the top maybe make a punch hole so you can hang them. This way the pieces are folded neatly. And if you have like a hanging show organizer you can place these pieces of cardboard or which ever you use in the little pockets and organize by color or pattern. Hope this helps.
Much of my fabric is in totes( clear)
too..I roll it up and stack it in the totes easy to see.
We all like to work on shoestring budgets; but I confess; sometimes it pays to spend. I broke down & bought (from Home Depot, when on sale) the "HDX 48 in. W x 72 in. H x 18 in. D Decorative Wire Chrome Finish Commercial Shelving Unit" . Depending on your space of course, they have different sized units. My material is folded & stacked! The totes are nice, but then you deal with the lids. As my sewing/craft room is in constant use; I don't worry about the fabric getting dusty, etc. You can even tag each one; as to how many yds/ft/inches (I haven't got that far yet, lol!) Even dealing with smaller amounts of fabric; (which I have loads of) it's nice to see it all at a glance, & easy to retrieve. Lots of great ideas here! Hope you find what works for you! :)
PLASTIC SHOE BOXES HOLD SMALL BITS OF CLOTH LIKE FAT SQUARES. STACK THEM IN TILL FULL PUT LID ON AND YOU CAN SEE MOST FROM THE SIDES. THEY STACK SO NO WASTED SPACE
