It all started with the buttons...
then it was the silks..
and this week, with the purchase of timber, it was time for the piles of fabric ....at last! They look very tidy here- but this doesn't last a moment once I look for a particular print, they all collapse in a heap.
But not anymore! At last I have a way to keep my fabric in neat piles even when I need that perfect shade of pink right at the bottom of the heap! All the awkward bits of this and that are now safely stored and neatly stacked! Hurrah!
It's bliss! I am particularly enjoying this section..
oh and the checks and stripes..
and this shelf has lots of my favourites..I should scan some for you to see, some are almost too precious to use!
But not quite! Now I must turn my attention to the fabrics that don't fit into the shelves! The quilts and blankets and large chintz curtains. Oh dear. I haven't the heart to tell hubby I need more shelving! t.x

I think you must have worked at Benetton once upon a time.. I remember watching the lasses measuring the T shirts as they folded them into immaculate piles.. for the next customer to come and destroy!

And thanks very much for the marzipan tea loaf recipe - we just finished off the last slice now! It went down VERY well.
But lady you do have a charming collection of materials there, heaven knows but I think I might be grief stricken if you opened them out and scanned them in full and unashamed glory.........
Thanks so much!
Love Emma xxxxxx
You are very brave using your most precious pieces of fabric...I have some textiles that are for stroking only! ;-)) teehee...
Enjoy your lovely workroom...or is it a study?! ;-))

It all started today while I was looking on line for craft space ideas. Mine is quite a mess you see. I stumbled across your blog on a google search and now I am TOTALLY inspired to rethink my space and see what creative ideas I can come up with the organize my lovely treasures. I too have buttons, LOTS of buttons, lace, ribbon, Fabric, specialty fabrics, vintage fabrics, home dec fabrics......did I mention I have TONS of fabrics and no place to put them. The majority live in bins up in my attic and I can never find what I KNOW I have somewhere in one of those bins.....now where was I? Oh, yeah and I have patterns and tablecloths....oh dear this could take forever, you get the idea. Thank you for this post. I can't wait to get home tonight and start planning my space out. :) Signing off now...
