I REALLY love this video and fabric organization system. I think you just saved my sanity! I’m 66 and I still have fabric scraps from my high school sewing days. Remember double knit? My father made me a 5” square template out of Formica to evenly measure and cut blocks for quilts. I still have that template as well. I am incapable of throwing away any fabric. Period. I’ve attempted to organize in the past, but gave up and smashed it all back into the boxes and bags and took a nap. Or doom scrolled to avoid the task. 😂 I think this method will allow me to organize as I go instead of all or nothing. Thank you ❤

It actually took me a couple of years of cutting and storing to get to the place you see now. I just stayed determined and cut some every day or two until I could see progress being made. Then there was no stopping me! If you watch the live video here: ru-vid.com5AjlVnJm8pk you can see me cut my last scrap from the piles I had. At that moment, I was completely caught up in my scrap cutting and it was so satisfying! That template you have must be such a treasure! Thank you for sharing and stay tuned! ~Deborah

Ohhh, so satisfying! Oooh, so amazing! Now, if I did this with fabric, I would also need to do it with scrapbook papers. Then the laces, art supplies...genealogy paperwork....tools... cat toys.... Thank you for the inspiration. Lets see, the cat is mostly gray....

@piecesofthepast 20 дней назад

HAHA, you made me laugh!! So, you have as many hobbies and cats as I do, apparently...LOL. Thank you for watching!! ~Deborah

I LOVE your system. I do not like searching for things so this looks amazing for me. I am just getting enough scraps where I was wondering how to deal with it. THANK YOU for sharing your wonderful process.

@piecesofthepast 26 дней назад

You are welcome! It can get overwhelming very quickly! If you have not already, check out my scrap cutting video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5AjlVnJm8pk.html Thanks for watching! ~Deborah

omg that sock monkey is too cute!!!

@piecesofthepast 25 дней назад

I know, right! That fabric is adorable. Waiting for just the right project for that one. ~Deborah

@cindywagner4623 24 дня назад

I’ve done the same with bolt sized cardboard, some been there a long time with no problem with discoloration. I don’t see a crumb bag. Beautiful storage, though.

@piecesofthepast 24 дня назад

LOL, no I have too much fabric to go that small. Crumbs would make my brain explode. 1.5" is as small as I go. Thanks for watching! ~Deborah

You are so organized. I love it. I will say I hate this new youtube format. I have a terrible time navigating it. Just in case they ask you. So glad I found your channel. Second vid that I've watched and I'll watch more.

@piecesofthepast 24 дня назад

To be honest, I have never been able to navigate RU-vid very well. It is always so confusing to me, too. Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching! ~Deborah

@piecesofthepast 27 дней назад

Thank you! I didn't make the orange one, but it is similar to the ones in the video. 😁

Deborah I absolutely ❤❤❤ your organization system. I feel calm just watching this video!!! Thanks for giving us a tour of your Happy Place 😊!!!

@piecesofthepast 26 дней назад

My pleasure! It is really so much better knowing that I can go pull fabrics I need instead of endless searching through bags of pieces. Glad you like it and thank you so much for watching and commenting! ~Deborah

@carolynmills513 26 дней назад

I organize by size also. If I need 2 yards, I have a few totes of that size. I don't have many scraps yet having only started a couple of years ago. But I have a laundry hamper at my cutting table that I drop them in when I'm there. Soon, I'm going to have to reduce the hamper into precut. Nice to see how you do that.

@piecesofthepast 26 дней назад

Yes, I keep a basket by my cutting table, too. It always amazes me how fast that basket overflows with scraps! Thanks for watching! ~Deborah

@paulaneary7877 26 дней назад

The mini-bolts are great. Where did you get those trays?

@piecesofthepast 26 дней назад

Thank you! I used to keep them on shelves, like the larger bolts. I happened to find these trays at a dump site and brought them home. They are the trays that bread companies use to deliver bread to grocery stores. ~Deborah

@deloresrast8543 24 дня назад

What about a fat quarter collection or left over layer cake or jelly rolls. Do you keep the collection together or separate it by color?

@piecesofthepast 23 дня назад

Ah, in the video, I briefly show my fat quarters that I keep in bins according to color. Leftover precuts like jelly rolls, etc. get separated and stored by their sizes (strips, squares, etc.) by color. This is the best way I have found to locate a 2.5" strip of red, for example. Keeping leftover precuts together is much too confusing for me. Basically, my entire collection that is smaller than a fat quarter is my own personal library of pre-cuts. Hope that makes sense.

Cardboard is full of acid and will discolor your fabric very quickly. I buy acid free comic book boards and use those to wrap my fabric around.

@piecesofthepast 26 дней назад

This is a good suggestion. However, I tend to do things on the side of recycle and thrift, so cardboard was my choice. Thanks for watching! ~Deborah

@sandymiller2002 25 дней назад

Define "very quickly" please. Fabric and quilt shops have fabric on cardboard bolts, sometimes for years. I've never purchased discolored fabrics from bolts. Additionally, I wrap my fabric on cardboard with acid free printer paper glued to it. I've done this for years, and I've never had a problem. I tried the comic book boards and they are too flimsy.
