Today’s SBQs are all about fabric! When I received these suggestions within days of each other I was a little surprised to see that I got two questions in such a short time that dealt with the same topic. I guess great stitching minds think alike, eh? 
So, without further ado, today…
Ami asks us:
Do you have an organizational system for your fabric? If so, what is it? If not, what do you store your fabric in?
And Anna wants to know:
How do people store their fabric, especially those small but potentially usable pieces? Do they sort by count? How do they label it or otherwise know what each piece is?
Before I packed everything up to move I had finally begun a fabric sorting system. I am sure once I get set up in my new place it will change, but recently my fabric was stored in an extra drawer (I don’t have a lot of fabric) and sorted first according to type of fabric (Aida, evenweave, or linen) and then according to count.
I had the Aida stored at the bottom and each piece had a note pinned to it stating the count. On top of the Aida was the evenweave and on top of the evenweave was the linen. Like the Aida, each piece had a note pinned to it denoting count. If the piece wasn’t too small I would just put it back with together with the larger pieces, but the really small pieces were just tossed into a couple of Ziploc baggies with no notes or anything.
