Stash Organization

Hello, there! I'm Flaun of I Plead Quilty! guest posting about fabric.

Do you organize your stash at all? How do you do it?

After months of creativity, not much cleaning up, and a general dislike of how my fabric was stored, I decided it was time to reorganize my stash.

See that stack of fabric? Lazy!

I sorted all the fabric that had been piling up into color groups (I had my stash already sorted that way), and decided to refold the whole shebang.

Organized, but still a bit untidy.

First, I ironed any wrinkly fabric and laid it out on my cutting table.

I lined my long, straight ruler up with the edge of the fabric...

...and started flipping!

Line the edges of the fabric up as you flip.

Keep the fabric taut.

Done flipping!

Once I reached the end of the fabric, I slid the ruler out of the end of the fabric...

...and folded it in half.

After a week of folding, here's the stash!

Pretty!

Okay, keeping it real. I still have three more shelves to fold, but won't it look lovely when I'm done?!

There's another shelf below this on that didn't fit in the pic.
