Last May I participated in The 30-Day Organizational Challenge on the OrgJunkie site and got my craft room in order. I was so proud of how it looked and I kept it clean and organized for quite awhile...until I needed to get to some fabric. My fabric stash is crammed into a couple of plastic totes and some drawers and unfortunately, I can't find what I need when I need it. Around Thanksgiving, I needed a particular fabric that I knew I had, but just couldn't find. I dumped all the contents of the totes and drawers out into the middle of the floor in a panic. It's mid-March and they are still there (and I never did find that fabric I was trying to locate). It was the one straw that broke the whole proverbial camel's back. Ever since then, my room became once again the dumping ground for anything that didn't have a home.
I decided I needed to deal with this right away and while searching for fabric organizing solutions, I came across these neat little acid-free plastic fabric bolt organizers. They're available in two sizes for both full cuts and fat quarters. It would be a little pricey to get enough of those to deal with my current stash, so I'm looking into some other plastic alternatives. It's a shame they don't sell those at quilting stores in 10 packs or something.
