Guilty pleasure: Where do you keep yours?

Posted by carsimulator on Monday, October 10, 2011

Go on, admit it. Whether it's bags, clothes, toys or soft furnishings, anyone who enjoys sewing has a huge fabric mountain which seems to accumulate without you even noticing! Now, I'm still quite new to all this sewing lark, but even my fabric collection has out-grown it's box in the spare bedroom.

Husband was starting to notice that there was a constant fresh influx of fabric next to the laundry basket. So last week it was time to invest (in an e-bay kind of way) in new storage. So, having bought a new bookcase for my fabric I was then left with the challenge of how to arrange. Should I go for keeping similar colours together, or would they be better sorted into types and uses -decisions, decisions! Whichever - we all know they will soon outgrow their new home and need to upsize once more!

So, the storage is better - but I still have to sew on the kitchen table. Ho hum! Would love people to share their stories on where they keep their fabric -I'll be really envious of those of you who have proper workrooms like these....
