Re: How do you store your fabric stash?

I have my stash stored in open 'cubes' that are made of white coated wire, purchased at Sam's Club, I believe. They are 14" square, and stack on top of each other. I have 9 rows, stacked 4 each row. Each piece of fabric is folded to fit, after being pre-shrunk. They're stored with like-fibres, and I have tags clipped at the top of each cube stating what type fibre is in that cube. I keep the dust off by using fresh dry-cleaning bags cut open to single-thickness and tucking them on top the rows...I can still see what's there through the clean, clear plastic. My 'backbone' stash (interfacings, linings, etc.) is stored in cabinets that were in the kitchen before we had new ones made. I have many thread racks on the walls for all my threads. I have pegboard on the walls for my tools. All these things are also covered with the dry-cleaning bags to keep dust off.

Re: Fitting Trouble

Pants! Pants! Pants! I always have excess fabric under my bum and can't get it fixed. Happens with every pattern I've ever tried. Soooooooo frustrating.
