January 9, 2025Is your stash starting to expand and invading other areas than your sewing studio? Then it is time to ask a few questions:Are your muffin bins topped and about to explode at any minute?
Do you feel overwhelmed? Not sure how to use it or what to do with it, and almost to the point of giving it away?
I feel that way too, at times! Not to worry! I believe I have a cure for this common ailment. Come on, we all have made some type of resolution, right?
Each Thursday I will find some ideas and patterns to use up some of the scraps and even some helpful hints to declutter, and control our stash. Today, let’s continue with sorting and how to store it. Let’s look at the big pieces first and what to do with them. Everyone has their own style of storing their fabric. How do you store it? Is it optimal for you or do you need a reset? These are just a few ideas.
Here are a few ideas.
Instead of stacking it, how about filing it? From Pin, Cut and Sew is a video showing how to do that.
