Re: How do you store your fabric stash?
Fortunately my house has an ATTIC - not high enough in the middle to stand, but an ATTIC. I put in flooring and shelves when we first moved in - covers about 800 sq ft. I store my stash in large Rubbermaid tubs, identified by an alphanumeric in broad letters on the side with contents listed in a 3-ring binder that I keep in my sewing room. Each tub has a page listing contents with color and fabric content. I, of course, keep silks, woolens, cottons, linens separate. I now have about 70 tubs. I keep moth balls in each tub. Yeah, I know toxic and not PC, but keeps the bugs out of my stash.I purchase my fabric by what I like. Therefore, have few problems combining fabrics in creations. One of my resolutions is to attach swatches to each entry in my catalog.
