The first thing I saw was the red/pink eyeshadow and perhaps overpainted eyebrows (those may be her real ones, though) and it’s distracting. She would do well to have a makeup person show her how to make the best of her beauty. A lot of KZbinrs do that. This is a great video otherwise and I wish her every success!

I re-did my fabric stash last year,and i have a lot of it,as i worked in a quilt store for 10 years and before that i was always buying as i sewed a lot back then.I ended up going to the thrift store and buying used metal file cabinets,got 3 ,4 drawer ones for under 30.00,all in good condition and clean.Everyone stores everything on their computers now so no need for the file cabinets.Their loss,my gain.I already had my fabric wrapped on comic book boards,now most of it lives in those file cabinets.It's neat and orderly,color coded and out of the light and dust,so a winner no matter how you look at it. Your idea is good as well,as long as it's not out in bright light.

Different continent, same idea. I got one of those hanging file racks, and my fabrics are stored hanging from the file folder edges. So per folder, there can be two big pieces of fabric, one per edge. Or, when the pieces are smaller, I fold them less wide, and coordinate them on the edges in how they fit. Now that the out of light was mentioned, I guess, I will build a box around the steel frame.

I'm not worried about storing it so much as sorting it.

Never mind all those precut layer cakes...I'm fortunate to have some room, but I'm blending a quilt store close-out with my hoard, and getting overwhelmed.

Luubeaar, just an FYI...when we moved (cross county) I went to a local vacuum store and asked for vacuum cleaner boxes. They’re long, narrow and a good width. They worked out excellent! If you stand them on end, you can stack your fabric like you’re books. I cut out a piece cardboard the width and depth of the box and used that as a template to fold my fabric so it fit in the box. After we moved it was a matter of taking out of the box and stacking on the shelf. What else was nice is the boxes were ‘clean’ on the inside. Good luck!

I saved both the paper and the gold ribbon and I used the ribbon today for the apron I made. The neck ribbon was from a Christmas gift (PJs that were folded and also wrapped in a white ribbon). Instead of throwing these things away, I kept them and used them for a nice project :)

When I am cutting larger cuts at the shop, I always fold them so they fit the same dimensions as the one-yard cuts, that way they stack nice because they are all the same length and height, only the width changes.

Very helpful info. I use this method for clothing also. Never thought about applying it to fabric. D’oh! In your personal stash, do you keep any odd sized or oddly shaped scraps? I do appliqué. if I cut a strip off a fat quarter to cut my appliqué pieces (so I don’t have an oddly shaped piece- I think I will be able to throw away any unused part of the strip) I don’t want to throw away the rest of the fat quarter even tho it is no longer an actual fat and won’t fold to the same size as the others in the bin. Just curious. Thanks.
@joycejudd51096 жыл бұрын
Mary Tillman: like you, I too cut off the odd-chunks and keep the larger small pieces. I have a square plastic bin like she uses here that sits on my cutting/work table. I fold the pieces as neatly as possible into small square (like her fat 8's) and put them into that bin. It's the first place I look when I need an odd piece (like for a fidget pad or pillow). It's the best I could figure out for those "too small to keep, too big to throw away" pieces. I hope this helps you too!
@CrazyAuntVal6 жыл бұрын
I do EPP & applique, so I save everything larger than a postage stamp. I trim the "tails" off the oddly shaped scraps, then store them in the flat square boxes designed for scrapbooking paper. They hold a surprising amount of fabric, latch closed, and they stack easily. They come in colors or frosted clear; I sort my scraps into the color-coordinating boxes so if (for example) I need green scraps, I can just grab the green box and go. Costco sells sets of them for a fraction of the cost of a single at the big box craft stores.
@CrazyAuntVal6 жыл бұрын
If there is a "square-able" piece leftover, I will sometimes square it up and then fold it and store it on edge. More often than not though, I have regretted squaring scraps because when doing applique (especially 3-D applique) I am always looking for odd bits for flower centers, tree branches, bird houses...

There is quilt designer on KZbin (Man Sewing) whose mom used to own a fabric store (that's how he was introduced to quilting) who used to joke that someday he would open an "All Night Fabric Shop" because of all the people who needed to finish things at midnight. I used to tease him that if he *really* wanted to make a fortune, he should make it mobile - or at least have an old Woodie (he's a surfer, so I thought it was appropriate) with drawers that pulled out of the back like the old bakery trucks. That way, people could SOS their needs, and he could just show up outside their door and they could shop in their sweats or PJ's. I still think it's a bloody brilliant idea!

I think we have some in our bins. So the end of the bolt. But we are always getting more Kaffe in. We just got a bunch of new pre-cuts in.

I worry about storing it in the open like that. It seems to me the edges may fade. I've had fading INSIDE a closed plastic drawer on a couple of pieces of fabric.
