"What a great idea! I have a filing cabinet that is full of papers, have lots of hanging files. Right now, I have two freestanding hanging file racks that I file my patterns in. My mind is buzzing with ideas!"

My fabric 'files'
"I'm Diana's sister and just wanted to comment on some of your questions. I intended this for mostly 1/4 yard to 1-1/2 yard pieces and I cut the hangers from the folders, leaving about an inch or so of folder, seems to stabilize the…"

Blondell replied to the discussion 'Organizing Your Stash' in the group The Sewing Room"What a great idea! I don't have a file cabinet, but will use the plastic file bins I saw in office Depot the other day. Thanks for sharing?"
Karen Quick replied to the discussion 'Organizing Your Stash' in the group The Sewing Room"I'm glad you all like the idea. The reason I cut the folders so short is because it takes up room that I'd rather use for fabric. And most of the pieces are fat quarters or a yard or less, a few maybe a bit more. …"
Cyndy Whiten replied to the discussion 'Organizing Your Stash' in the group The Sewing Room"Oh, my. I'm so going to do this. I have a lateral file cabinet that is being misused and abused, and a closet full of bins that will be so much easier to utilize, when I can see them all at once. Thank you for this great tip."
Pam Patterson replied to the discussion 'Organizing Your Stash' in the group The Sewing Room"I LOVE THIS IDEA, but I was just thinking that you could have just cut the folders apert at the bottoms and used the side of the folder to wrap the fabric around. (like a mini bolt) It might stabilize the fabric in the drawer."
Jennifer Costigan replied to the discussion 'Organizing Your Stash' in the group The Sewing Room"Great idea.... I'm gonna do this!! :)"

Organizing Your Stash
My sewing room became so disorganized and chaotic during the holidays and afterwards, attempts at getting it back to something reasonable always seemed to fall short. With chaos I just couldn't get motivated to start or finish projects. One night, after another evening of frustration looking for something I couldn't find, I had a flash of brilliance just as I was dropping off to sleep. I'm surprised it didn't keep me awake.My idea was to file my fabrics, anything that was 1-1/2 to 1/4 yard…See More

Just finished this quilt for my first grandchild, due any time now. We're all anxiously awaiting his arrival. My daughter picked monkeys for the nursery theme and I took it from there. I just love the little monkeys in the center of each star. I call it Monkey Shines, hope it becomes his favorite.…
