UPDATE: Well I got stuck into tidying and made a bigger mess in the process! I have tall cupboards for my fabrics to keep the cat and dust out. I have put like fabrics together with plain fabrics one side and then patterned on the other, then all sorted by colour. Not sure how long it will last, but it looks better for now. I have my quilting fabrics and Christmas prints stored separately to other fabrics as I usually am after something more specifc when I use them

How do you sort your fabrics?
Like so many others I am home and have decided it is again time to sort out my sewing room. Not sure how it gets so messy! Well I guess that shows it gets used! ;)
I have many types of fabric from quilting cottons to stretch, fleece and satin etc etc. So while I am sorting (ahem having a quick break) I would like to know for those of you not just into quilting, how do you organise your fabric, and keep it tidy?
Stay safe 😉
I wish I lived that close to my fabric shop but then my bank balance might not!

I also have some boxes that are project oriented, such as seasonal banners, holiday banners.
As to how it gets messed up, it's either the cost of progress, or the Anti-Sewer comes in at night while we sleep and has a spree.
Where possible if I buy a large amount of a particular piece I try to put it on a roll. Makes it easier to handle and actually takes up less space.
You got me thinking that I really need a tidy up myself. So got a couple of $17 metal shelves from Ikea this morning and pulled everything out made a huge mess and resorted and now it is all put back neat and tidy.
Found a big stack of Hand Towels that had been pushed to the back so feel like the fairies have been.
