Fabric organization time!

For some reason this time of year makes me want to clean and organize. So today I thought I would share some of my findings in how I organize my fabric.
I have my fabric organized(or some might think unorganized) in many different ways I don't really have any one system that works but I've tried several and here's what I have.

First off I have some of my fabric organized onto "the fabric orgnaizer" which is a piece of acid free white corrugated plastic cut to about 10 x 14".

This is something I saw in a magazine and went online to order, they now have several other sizes to offer. They run about $2 a piece for the large 10 x 14" size I got some of the small but have never used them as they picture with strips of fabric.

I really like these and love the idea of displaying my fabric like a little fabric shop however I don't have the right shelving to best display them in this way. You need to make sure that your shelves are at least 14½" apart to fit the organizer. I'm also not in love with the price roughly $2 a piece is a bit steep and you do get better pricing when buying in bulk however you're still paying $1.75 so not much savings there. I think if these were more easily available some place like Joann's where you could use a 50% coupon I would be tempted to buy more.

Have you tried these organizers? What do you think?

Next I discovered the art of folding your fabric around your ruler... well hey it's free.

Using my 12½" ruler I folded my fabric lengthwise selvedge to fold.

And then began flipping my ruler to wrap the fabric around like a bolt.

Then... because I want my ruler back, I slid the ruler out and end up with...

This nicely folded fabric that looks like a cute half bolt without the bolt.
Which fits perfectly into my Art Bin Yay!

Just as a side note I've been marking my fabrics with the yardage of how much I bought so I know how much I've got. It's much easier to do immediately after you purchase and sometimes your receipts might say yardage in case you forget or purchase an odd amount.

While filling up my Art Bin's and thinking hmm maybe I need more I discovered that the beautifully folded fabrics also fit perfectly in my Iris storage boxes.

In case you were wondering I folded up some single yards of fabric and they come out like this...

This is also a good way to estimate how much yardage you do have since the ruler is 12½"  each fold will roughly be a foot but you can count the folds and see how many feet/yards of fabric you have.

Another  product I love is the closet maid  fabric drawers, the mini ones are my new favorite.

This one has single yards folded in thirds and below you can see they are truly perfect for fat quarters.

The short tied bundles can be stacked 2 high. I love how this keeps a collection or color grouped together but easy to grab the whole lot.

How do you store your fabrics? What organizing products do you love?
