I'm looking for Ideas for storing my fabric yardage...

Plastic bin/drawer things?

I fold mine onto comic book backer boards. Here's a blog link, not mine, with directions. http://www.right-sides-together.com/folding-fabric-on-comic-book-boards/ My cupboard doesn't look as neat as hers (first photo) but I have much more fabric, and mine needs more tending than it gets!

There's also specially-made fabric organizers (second photo) but I'd bet they're Bmore expensive. (Backer boards cost about $13 for a hundred.)

For additional ideas, do a search for Fabric Storage on Pinterest. Lots there. Good luck!

Thanks for the ideas!

I had a client whose husband bought the house next door for her fabric and supplies. I am not kidding. Lucky lady.

And I thought my husband was the greatest!!

Heavy duty coat hangers for larger pieces. Thrift stores put sheet sets on wood hangers. Bookcase for any you fold up. Depending on usage organize by color, place in those storage bags where you vacuum out the air, and put on bookcase. Yard sale dresser or chest of drawers.

l just roll my spare up on left over rapping paper tubes.

Same size as my room. I use a bookshelf along one wall. Smaller pieces fold on the shelves where I can admire them. Larger pieces, I roll tightly and secure with rubber bands. They fit standing up in wire crates (the crates fit the lowest shelf and can be pulled out to see what I have in there. I found odds and ends of small shelves and turned my closet into a storage unit too!

most of my fabrics are on pants hangers. the thicker support soesn't crease the fabric as bad.

Love the hanger ideas! I have a ton of pant hangers!

I buy foam craft boards at the dollar tree and cut them into 10 x 10 size. Then I iron, fold and wrap my fabric around them. I bought cubby shelves and I put them in those.

I store mine in "under the bed" boxes.

Brilliant suggestions, I made several small trees from the foam shaped Christmas trees. I pinned small pieces if trimmings, fabric, ric rac, braids, lace etc and keep those in a glass fronted cabinet. Maybe not practical but they look fabulous, I love them anyway as they spark ideas and colour combinations.

Polythene bag, Throw them in, be prepared to Iron them when they come out for use.

For large fabric, like half- and one-yard cuts, pick up (or build!) a cubby bookshelf. Sort fabrics by color, then fold them to fit the width of your shelving. Add decorative bowls on top to hold pins and other notions — and consider those another opportunity to show off even more of your style.

Here you go:

Hi Susan: I'm in the midst of doing the same thing. One thing I do is to stand the folded fabric on their edges, like books, in a clear plastic bin. That way I can see what I have and can lift out what I want without digging through everything. For the Fat Quarters, you can use the clear plastic shoe boxes. And you can use a piece of cardboard and write on it what's in the box, felt, fleece, cotton, silks, etc., and put that right in the box where you can see it. Easy to replace, too :) And, they stack nicely.
