More About Storing Fabric
On March twentieth I wrote a blog about a great method I had just tried for folding and storing fabric. I am still very happy with this method and now I have a few more ideas for using it.
When you want a piece of fabric from the middle of the stack, take the whole stack off the shelf. Carefully remove the piece that you want and then replace the stack on the shelf. If you pull a piece from the middle of the stack, fabric pieces around it tend to come out, too. The result is an untidy mound of fabric instead of a neat stack.
Refold each fabric piece when you have finished with it using a six inch ruler. I had not been careful about refolding fabric when I replaced it and the tops of my fabric stacks were getting a little lumpy. I did some refolding today and my fabric shelf looks better.
I organize my fabric by stacking different categories together. I have one stack of solid colors, another for florals, a third for geometric prints, and so on. Another grouping might be a mixture of solids and prints in the same color.
