Are you like us in the fact that you have “too much” fabric and no good way to store it? Christy wanted a way to store all our fabric pieces while being able to easily see them. After much research and thought, she went with the ingenious idea of using a filing cabinet for fabric storage. No more rummaging through drawers and bins to find that perfect piece for the current project!
A little spray paint, a base & some wheels, some hanging file folders, and some elbow grease got us this beauty. We love our fabric storage so much that we are currently repainting another filing cabinet to store even more fabric! I cannot emphasize enough how much simpler it is to incorporate fabric into a craft project just because it is easily accessible. No more pulling out bins and bins to dig through piles of fabric. Just pull out a draw and pick what catches your eye!
This actually came together quite well, which made us very happy. You can see a little demonstration of the end result here on our YouTube channel. So, next time you are looking for some fabric storage, just go searching for an old filing cabinet and up-cycle it according to your own style. I’m thinking the next one we do should have some IOD, what do you think?
I guess this means we can keep buying fabric!
