    Where/how do your store your fabric?

    I'm having a tidy up today and I have loads of fabric now and I have no idea how to store it. I have a small sewing box for my threads etc, but I can't fit my fabric in there. I'd like to store it in something that I can have with me when I sew otherwise I would put it in a draw. So I was wondering how do you all store your fabric?

    In plastic tubs in my linen cupboard.
    I really need more tubs & to get them out of there into the top of my wardrobe though, coz there's no room left for my linen!

    Like clover, I have a gigantic plastic tub that has all my fabric and patterns etc in it. How much do you have? Could you get one of those cloth shopping baskets (not like the green bags...I've seen quite large baskets, they have a metal frame but are covered in fabric)?

    I have some in plastic tubs, and also some on shelves in my cupboard. I am fortunate to have my own sewing room though!

    Plastic tub(s ) with lids for me too. Hard for little fingers to get into and dust proof - and that's important out there
    I did have a plastic drawer system....but my DD has a fabric penchant too so that was out.

    It was all in plastic tubs...now it is special shelving hubby built in the wardrobe of my 'sewing' room...go the plastic tubs...clear ones though so you can see what is in each tub when looking for something.
