scrap storage


I think I've shared my fabric storage before?  It's an old armoire with free standing shelf inside.
Until recently I kept all my fabric scraps in one of those little three drawer plastic drawer thingys down there on the bottom (the middle one).  I also had one drawer for selvages (on the right).
Things were getting a bit cramped and messy so I knew it was time for something different.


My solution isn't fancy or even all that thought out, but it's a start!  I'll try this for a while and see how it goes.  I've got shoe size plastic boxes for red/pink, orange, yellow, green, blue/aqua, purple, neutrals/brown/black, selvages, special/hard to find scraps, and finally, linen scraps.

Now I have to break it to the husband that those shelves he carried downstairs, you know the ones I didn't *need* anymore, need to come back up.  {sheepish grin}
