DIY FABRIC STORAGE IDEAS

When it comes to your fabric stash, part of the challenge is knowing what you have on hand and what fabrics you still need to purchase. Sorting your fabric by color, type and manufacturer may help to “tame the beast,” but organization is the key to keeping your fabrics within reach and usable for your next project. To help you get your fabric collection in order, we’ve collected some creative fabric storage ideas!

1. Sort with shelving.
How do you store your half-yard and one-yard cuts of fabric? Maureen shares a beautiful fabric shelving solution which holds the majority of her large fabric cuts. She picked up a 25-cubby bookshelf, enlisted her children to help sort fabrics by color and folded her stash into uniform stacks the width of her shelving. The decorative bowls on top of the shelf hold pins and other notions.
2. Use a curtain rod.
If you don’t have room for a large storage cabinet, you might try this creative fabric storage idea from Linda. She used an IKEA curtain rod on the wall and strung curtain rings (with clips) to hang her fabric. The fabric is folded lengthwise into uniform panels and sorted in rainbow order. Linda warns that you should always hang the curtain rod into your wall studs, or else the weight of the fabric may cause it to fall. Need more incentive to hang your fabric? In addition to having fewer wrinkles than folded fabric, this storage solution serves as colorful wall art.
3. Create repurposed racks.
Here’s a great fabric storage idea from Lisa. When it’s time for your baby to transition from the crib to a toddler bed, you can turn a crib side rail into fabric storage! If you choose to hold onto the extra crib side, you can lean it against the wall and hanging your fabric. Several cuts of fabric will fit on each rail. This is especially great for large cuts of fabric like vintage sheets and quilt backs.
