Organizing Fabric Scraps for Quilting: Here Are My Top 5 Tips
Quilting is a beloved craft that often leaves us with a colorful array of fabric scraps. Effectively organizing these remnants not only keeps your workspace tidy but also enhances your quilting experience. Here are my top 5 tips for organizing fabric scraps:
Sort by Color:
Organize your fabric scraps by color to easily access a spectrum of options for future projects.
Consider subcategories like warm and cool tones for more nuanced sorting.
Size Matters:
Sort scraps by size to quickly identify pieces suitable for specific projects.
Use clear containers or labeled bins to keep different size categories distinct.
Theme or Project-Based Organization:
Group scraps based on themes or projects to streamline your creative process.
Store project-specific scraps together to make it easy to grab what you need.
Utilize Scrap Storage Systems:
Invest in storage systems designed for fabric scraps, such as clear plastic containers
or hanging organizers.
Transparent containers offer visibility, making it effortless to locate the desired fabric.
Regular Maintenance:
Dedicate time for periodic organizing sessions to prevent an overwhelming buildup of scraps.
Weed out unusable or small pieces during maintenance to keep your collection manageable.
By implementing these tips, you’ll transform your fabric scrap collection into a well-organized and accessible resource. Enjoy a more efficient and enjoyable quilting journey with a neatly arranged array of fabrics at your fingertips.
Thanks for sharing this link! It’s something I need help in and this is great. Thanks!
The folded fabrics look very pretty and tempting. Now, looking at my stash… well there is a big plastic bin of very assorted shaped bits that I begged from someone who does evening dress alterations…then there is a small wardrobe of sample hangers – they do look tidy though…then there are all the very randomly sized fabric, from 3″ x 6″ silk samples – every colour you can imagine – to cushion cover sized pieces of furnishing fabric. And still a mass of books to dismantle.
I went into an interior decoration shop and asked if they had any sample books they did not want, so she turned and opened a door and there was a store-roomful of books. Hundreds. Well maybe about 80 or 90…So about three quarters of them went to various art teachers etc, and I kept about a quarter of them. Enough craft material for the rest of my life! But impossible to stash prettily!
This is hands town the best tutorial EVER! THank you SO much for sharing this link with us!
If you all could see my unruly fabric stash you would know I need this tutorial!
