This is week 2 for the REAL Studio Tour hosted by Vicki at Field Trips in Fiber. This week we’re sharing our favorite storage solutions.
I’m going to share two of my favorite storage ideas.
First, there’s fabric storage. Most of my fabric is relatively small pieces – ¼ to ½ yard. At one point I tried stacking it on shelves, but I always seemed to need the fabric in the middle of the stack. I bought these wire baskets a few years ago from IKEA, and found this the best way for me to organize my fabric. I sort it by color and place it vertically/standing upright in the baskets so I can pull out what I need without disturbing the other fabric. I can easily pull out a whole basket if needed, then slide it back into its slots.
Secondly, I love these little plastic bins for keeping my tools and notions organized. They fit perfectly in the cupboards above my work area.
Check out the links on Vicki’s blog to see many other great storage ideas. And don’t forget to come back next week for week 3 of the studio tour.
Yes, I agree. The fabric you need is in the middle of the pile! Good idea!
I love the plastic bins. Everything looks so tidy!
I like plastic baskets too. They are great for everything!
What a colourful display of fabric. I would be inspired just looking at it!
That’s another reason I love the wire bins. I am definitely inspired by my fabric, and love being able to see it..
My quilt life changed when I went to this style fabric storage.
