Hi Everyone! This week we go a bit deeper into the the topic of fabric storage and organization. I've been working hard to solve some of my fabric storage challenges, and thanks to many of the tips shared here, I'm making progress in my space! In the video posted below, I'll share with you my before and after fabric storage. After seeing some examples of fabrics wrapped on comic book boards, I was inspired to redo my "shelved fabrics". I also have a few examples of some other fabric storage ideas.... Enjoy!

I love the comic board idea ! My fabric kept falling down so I tied thin ribbon on some and twine on some .Now when I look at mt cabinet I see all my precious fabric all wrapped up like gifts !
i wonder if somebody is going to notice his comic books are slouching now. ? What a great idea. Now to find the time to get the boards and apply the idea. Thanks! ?
What a difference! Very good ideas that I am going to incorporate in my sewing room. Thanks, Cinnamon!
Very impressive, Cinnamon! Thank you so much.
Your room is amazing! I do like the cardboard mini bolts and may end up doing something like that with my stash that lives in the basement. I only have room for what I’m currently working with, not a whole lot of wall space ;)
