In this picture you can see the collection of denim, fat quarters, holiday fabrics, interfacing, and mostly contained quilting scraps. There is a shelf above that can not be seen.
In this picture, you can see the carefully folded fabric. Fabric in this area is larger than 1/2 yard. You can also see the sleeve board, a few hangers, towels awaiting applique, and more interfacing.
This is some of the carefully folded fashion fabric. There are a few pieces in this batch that will be for muslins only. This is a couple of shelves above this picture and a shelf below. This is also a sewing machine under the last shelf.
This is another view. Additional carefully folded fashion fabric with magazines, patterns, and a tiny bit of yarn (this is the only knitting stuff that has made it to the room). There is a couple of shelves above with more fabric and a shelf below. You can see the corner of my cutting table which will be in the closet and moved out to line up with the sewing table when needed. Also, hidden by the cutting table is a couple of my sewing machines.
I think the biggest surprise with doing this organization is the amount of denim that I have collected along with the amount of quilting weight cotton fabrics. Some of the denim is destined for a quilt and some of it is destined for jeans. I suppose some of the denim can be used as a muslin for jeans.
If nothing else, this whole experience has certainly slowed down the desire to purchase more fabric. Now that I can see the majority of it, I'm hoping that it will be considered first before purchasing more. I do not have a large amount of knits so that will most likely be the exception.
Fabric folding techniques can be found in the blog post "Organization....Folding Fabric".
Happy Stitching!
