I use a tower drawer with my most current sewing projects. The rest I divide by fabric type in my cubby hold shelf which is covered by a throw. It has 15 cubbies! I even add curtains, table cloths and old clothes. I have a cubbies for tapestry, denim, satin, linen, cotton, cotton print, fur, fake leather (costume fabric), batting, knit etc.<br /><br />I did a post on how Gina at Shabby Chic does hers. She hangs her stash on curtain rods in an extra closet! She installed an extra rod to give double the storage place. Now that's an idea I had never thought of!<br /><br />Great post!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944882257793647449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-611763723530514953.post-29712896359931015172010-08-27T22:21:16.455-05:002010-08-27T22:21:16.455-05:00This is fabulous! What a cool idea. Another note...This is fabulous! What a cool idea. Another note to add to the card, that I always forget too... the exact make-up of the fabric (ie. pure linen, linen/cotton, cotton/synthetic, as these require different iron settings obviously, or delicate components such as wool) and any specific washing instructions that may have been printed on the roll tag. These I usually forget the minute it gets cut for me and I carry it from the store) <br />Really though I'm trying to work furiously but methodically through my stash, with the idea that when it is depleted I will only then be buying fabric that I will be making up in the very near future (said sternly to myself with wagging finger)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-611763723530514953.post-89833950873802818872010-08-27T21:58:57.276-05:002010-08-27T21:58:57.276-05:00That's a great idea Trudy!

I like that i can get to it from my iPhone while I'm out and about.
