Don’t you love seeing pictures of beautifully organized shelves of fabric? In many cases, the fabric has been folded to fit the shelves. Folding isn’t hard, but a simple trick can make the fabric stacks fit your space perfectly.
This great tip works for stacking fabrics on shelves and in cubbies and for storing them in containers. Simply customize the shape and size so the folded fabrics fit nicely in the space. Plus, it works with yardage of most lengths.
A tutorial from I Always Pick the Thimble outlines a clever way to customize folded fabrics to your space. All it takes is a piece of cardboard and some measuring. Learn how it’s done in the following article.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources.
