Learn how to fold, store and organize your fabric to fit your personal needs. There are so many options depending on the space you have available to store fabric. In this tutorial, I give you several different options on how you can organize small scraps to large lengths of fabric pieces.
Having your fabric organized not only looks neat and tidy, but it takes the stress out of sewing. You can see what you have and easily access it.
Small fabric scraps storage: 1:18
Fat quarters: 2:54
Odd shaped fabric pieces: 13:07
½ yard -3 yard storage: 8:06
Large bulky fabrics: 14:44

This might be too much work or cost for some….for scraps, make zippered bags in solid colors, like red, blue, etc and store your scraps in those according to color. All those plastic bags would drive me crazy, but it’s a great idea. (Plus I have a bunch of cheap zippers here)
@nancy9478
@nancy9478 7 месяцев назад
I do that with scraps, the bags are in a covered bin and so much easier for me to manage.

@carolg.6838

​@@nancy9478 Just know the cardboard from cereal boxes is probably not archival so could contain acid if storing something precious or for a long time*. Also you would not want any cereal dust to attract pests that could eat through your fabric. I saw a video of a different lady who used a quilting ruler of a similar size to wrap the fabric then removed the ruler. This worked for her storage method. She might have used alligator clips too. *I don't know how long it would take for regular cardboard to harm fabric.

What about sticking a piece of paper inside of that clip with the dimensions of the fabric. In that way you don’t have to unfold it all to see if you have enough fabric for a specific project.

I use my 6” wide ruler to turn my 4-5 yards of each fabric. I flip and fold the ruler and store them all in large bins, we seem to get moths in the summer somehow, they eat any fabric, so I can’t have them displayed on shelves. I can see all my fabrics in each bin.

Brilliant ideas, Jan! I also use comic book boards, but you've shown me a couple of important refinements - taping down the guides and using alligator clips (I was using quilting safety pins - this is much easier). I have also put fat quarters in the deep art bins that have a hinged lid and handle, so they're easy to slide onto a shelf or under a table.

Nice tips. I wrap my fabric similar to you but pull the “comic board” out before placing fabric on shelf. I found the boards took up too much room on my shelves and removing the “folding guide” allows fabric to relax slightly so no more folding creases. Love your idea for storing bolts. Definitely going to implement that right away - it’s Christmas shopping time so the right size totes should be reasonably available. Thanks for another wonderful vid!

I’m a new sewer and am, like many, fascinated with fabric. After spending lots of $$ at Craft, Fabric and quilt shops, I found fabric at thrift shops. Since lots of my stuff is still all about practice, I don’t necessarily need the perfect fabric design. Now, I have GOBS of fabric that chose me. Ha. It’s taking over my space, so I’ve ordered the comic board to try to get a handle on what I actually have. Given my inexperience, I not sure I understand the reason behind unfolding new fat quarters to rewrap onto comic board? Please educated me. I would think you could just leave them in the packaging you buy them in, prefolded and line them into the bins. Please educated me!
@JanHowell

Hello, here is the link for the plastic bins I use for my fat quarters. The reason I refold them onto small boards is just because the fat quarters don't fit in my bin. Ya, if you have a bin that fits, I would not refold. Here is the link for the bins I use. geni.us/bFuLAh

@@JanHowell An "Army Roll" is the oldest most simple smart packing technique known by every Military Person, Camper, or Traveler. It's simply "rolling your clothes" (instead of folding them) in a way that when you unroll them, there are no wrinkles. AND it's main purpose is used as a huge Space-Saver. You can get 50% MORE into a backpack, suitcase, drawer, or shelf, if you ROLL your clothes. Any backpacker, camper, traveler, or military person knows this technique and uses it. No need to get back; I have answered my own question.

i use hanging file folders inside clear plastic file bins that stack on each other. This is where I put fat quarter size and slightly smaller fabrics. Larger than fat quarter but not actual yardage gets rolled and tucked into cardboard chip bins. These cardboard bins are free, have very sturdy walls and a middle divider, so the rolls tuck away nicely. Yardage gets hung with pants or skirt hangers. Leather gets rolled and shelved. Trim gets hung on scarf holders that get hung from a hanger. RIbbon is in a shallow plastic bin. Seam binding and piping each have their own plastic bin. Tiny scraps currently reside in drawers, but I may sort and bag like you did.

Glad you found me! The Ikea shelves are called a Billy book shelf. You can get them with doors or without. They come in a few sizes.

@@JanHowell Jan, I have been subscribed for about a year. Ever since I stumbled onto your self binding baby blankets.Ade ten of them, the bins, the burp cloths, baby caps and more. I have made many comments. This is the first time since I subscribed that nothing came. Hopefully it is just a weird one time glitch because I love your videos.

So you take the fabric off of the bolt to store. We had a shop go out of business I have about 10 bolts
@JanHowell
@JanHowell 2 года назад
If you have a lot of fabric on the original bold, I would just keep them on the bolts and find a bin big enough to store several bolts.
