How I Organize My Fabric Stash, Scraps, & Projects 

I’m impressed how organized you are, with that gorgeous stuff and mainly considering you haven’t a big sewing room as it would be expected. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for all these scrap and fabric organizing ideas. I did my entire collection in February. Redid my storage closet and everything. It was an ordeal! After 22+ years of quilting, and collecting fabrics, you can imagine what I had to do. I invested in a couple dozen different sized bins 22 quart and smaller. I sorted all my larger than scrap sized fabrics in my cubed shelving by coler and value. I reall love being able to see all the colors!The smaller fabrics were cut to sizes of jelly strips, and charms. I dont use the 10" layer size often, so I didnt bother cutting anything that size. Because I use 6 1/2" squares for one of my favorite patterns, there is a pile of those in the charm size bin. I was surprised to see that I have an entire 20 qt bin of orphan blocks. Im still considering what to make with those. Hotpads? It too me two weeks to get my Happy Place squared away. I cant emphasize enough just how good it feels to work in a tidy space.

Thank you so much for leaving the message for Oma in the video. It brought back so many happy Oma visit memories. We lost Oma last year after many visits to her grandchildren! ❤

I found your organization tips very helpful, especially how you sort multicolor fabric. Thanks!

I just ran across this as I was organizing a basket of scraps. Your advice made sense to me and helped me figure out where to put various colors in my scraps baskets😊

Great organization of all of your fabrics!

Good morning! Brenda from conquering mount scrapmore sent me.🎉

The mini pieces are perfect for applique or mini quilts. I sew my scraps to register paper rolls for scrap binding. I make mini quilts for my emergency service workers to give to kids in crisis. Boys stuffed animals and girls dolls with coordinating blanket. That helps reduce the scary part for kids or adults if they have something else to care for. I donate quilts for adults as well. The police say it makes a huge difference for their safety because the person is comforted and generally grateful for human kindness. Every scrap helps. I've even made crazy quilt backing to maximize the fabric scraps so the cost goes down. I store my scraps in clear cheese ball containers or scrap paper holders like you have your cut pieces. I've also sewn my scraps into color categories to make blocks from for quilts. It's fun and mindless sewing. Hope these ideas help someone else .

Great organizing Fallen! Very similar to the way I organize my fabrics

Thanks for sharing

This was very helpful. I do sort by color, but had trouble with colorful prints. I love the idea of filing by background fabric. Scraps have been difficult for me to handle. Love your ideas for cutting them down and the storage for them. Thank you.

BTW great organization. Was just wondering about the above question. New subscriber here.

Thanks for sharing your organization!! I like how you have patterns sorted by precut sizes!! 🧵🪡✂️💕👍🏻

Love your fabric stash! Good ideas, too!

I use the same plastic tubs. I find that they are much easier to open and close. Great idea💡 on the decorative boxes.

So glad I found your channel...I love watching and learning...thanks so much

I’ve enjoyed this, thank you!!! ❤️😀

Thanks for sharing your process.❤

I have multiple of these totes. They work very well. I am in process if putting labels and deciding how I want them stacked in my new closet. Great tutorial. Careful when pressing with your wool mat on your mat. The heat can warp your mat. I like crumbs so my little pieces go into a little basket I keep one inch but not smaller. Sometimes i want my strips so I use the stripology ruler. Going to check how I folded my larger pieces of fabric and see if I am close to how you folded yours. I like my fold on top for neatness and find I have less shedding of the threads if those edges are hidden

I need to put my yardage in tubs, I have the shoebox size plastic boxes and they are too small- thank you for sharing❤

Why do you cutaway the odd shape on yardage (where it's been cut into). What if you find you need that little extra when deciding to use that fabric.
