Hello, it looks beautiful! I make cardboard boards from old boxes (I get them for free) and I store them in drawers so that the colour does not change. I allow myself to have a limited amount of fabric (for religious reasons).

So do any of y’all have issues with your fabric ‘sun’ or ‘light’ fading on the exposed folded edges?
I store my large pieces of fabric (all washed and pressed) on 5 tier pant/skirt hangers that have attached clothes clips. Every piece is labeled with the length and width so I know exactly what I have to work with. They hang in a closet in my sewing room.

I started buying the fabric boards to store my fabric and he got pretty expensive. So I went to the dollar tree and bought some foam boards and cut them the same size as the fabric boards and I could get four per sheet for only a dollar much more economical.

I saw a tip on-line a few years ago and loved it. I have stored a lot of my fabric (less than 2 yd pieces) in a 4 drawer filing cabinet. Each drawer has a color theme. I drape the folded fabric over the hanging file folders and can store a lot of fabric that way. I am planning to move to smaller quarters, so bought stackable plastic hanging folder bins I can transfer my file folders of fabric. I have some larger pieces that are 2yds.+ and bought soft side bedding storage (from Amazon) for those. The best part about the filing cabinet is that the fabric is protected from the sun, dust, etc, but I can pull a drawer out and see all in that drawer.

I buy comic book boards from Amazon. They come in batches of 100. To hold fabric on the board, I order shirt clips. Both are inexpensive. The comic boards are 8-1/2 by 11.

I get foam board from the dollar store and sometimes it can be 50 cents a sheet but even if 1 dollar a board- you do get 8 of it. Cheaper than buying at the craft stores

My husband is a picture framer and he makes me bolts from acid free mat board. Ask at your local framers for scraps!

I’m lucky enough to have access to used “VOTE FOR ______________________ FOR ___________________” signs as hubby was a county supervisor for 2 4-year terms. I washed a lot of those that weren’t broken to pieces, and cut them with an exacto knife or box cutter to the size that fit my full extension cabinet drawers, and happily wrapped fabric around the pieces. Hubby is also a realtor, and as the “FOR SALE” yard signs become faded, etc, I snag those and cut them up as well. (This stuff is like corrugated plastic.)
Just a note, though … please ask the sign owner if they’d be willing to part with any of the signs. The realty office and the agents are constantly having their signs stolen, and they’re really expensive to replace. And if the person will be running again for re-election, they’ll likely be using the signs again.
And just to let you know … I’ve never had a problem with any of the remaining word/copy/ink coming off and recoloring my fabrics.

I use the comic book back board and it is available at Amazon for a really good price for a large quantity. Pay attention to the size listed though.

I use backer boards for comics or magazines to wrap my fabric on they are 8 1/2 by 11 and fit nicely on bookshelves I have several Ikea shelves with glass doors I keep it all in. Looks great keeps fabric clean and I can see at a glance what I have

I use foam board also but I do apparel, so I get 3 bolts per foam board instead of 6. If you take the store crease and fold it over again 45" fabric fits perfect. Different widths you just have to play with. In regards to the dust question, I have several bolts of very expensive beaded fabric, so I wrap mine in cheap plastic wrap after I bolt it. I just make sure to place them in the rack between inelastic-wrapped bolts so they don’t stick together. I keep all my bolts on a bakers rack I got from Lowe’s for about $ 75. It holds a lot of you lay them perpendicular to the shelves on their sides, and those bolts fit perfect without sticking out all jagged and you can pull what you need without disturbing anything else.

Oh and I also write how many yards are on the cardboard. I kinda of keep a record of what I have… It helps

Go to your local fabric store and take the cardboard bolts home and use them. They just throw them away. Make sure u get the ones that unfold and place the fabric on the cardboard and then fold the flaps back down. Not the solid ones. Not much work to do. And if that’s your addiction, mine is far worse. LoL….I need help🙄

Thanks for the great tip about folding the fabrics. We have just moved, and so I’ve got gazillions of cardboard boxes, and am now cutting them up to size to create my bolsters of fabric. A couple of years ago I bought a 200 hundred year old linen press but not the whole thing…(I wish!) ..just the cupboard from the top, with big drawers that can hold a lot of heavy fabric. Apparently there had been a flood and the bottom drawer unit was ruined, so I snapped this sad lonely cupboard up for a ridiculous £50 and started using it for my stash. Now I have your tip about folding them using templates measured to fit, I have no problem with the fabrics falling about and getting really untidy. I’m so grateful for this fabulous tip. xx

I LOVE THIS IDEA!! I was looking at how much the plastic boards are to store fabric and thought there has to be something else. Then I decided to use cardboard and since I had just received a recliner and the box it came in was really big so I planned to cut it up and use it for my fabric bolts. And at our recycling depot there’s a steady supply of large pieces of clean flat cardboard that I can go collect and make as many as I need. Then I read your article and what a better idea, it won’t bend as easy as the cardboard and will be a more firm bolt for all my fabric and it is available at our local dollar stores and I know that there’s NO WAY it’s had food or dirt or anything on it. So Thank You, I’m going to do that and the fact I can use pins to hold the fabric in place is great! Thanks for the idea!!

I never thought of the foam board.
Thank you!
I use cardboard the same way. I have s fabric addiction to. And it was free. And works same way .

If anyone was still wondering….I did something similar with my Mom’s fabric. I folded it in thirds and it perfectly. Foam core board can be bought just about everywhere, including Dollar Tree. It’s usually next to poster board. Hope that helps.

my question is how do you keep dust off the fabric? i love your idea but im concerned about material getting dusty

How did u make your big ironing board?

I store my fabric the same way but instead of foam board I use those rectangular inserts comic collectors use. They are the perfect size, so no cutting involved, they’re also archival quality. They appear to be made of a heavy card with a plastic like coating. They are inexpensive as well. I too pin the end of my fabric but not into the actual card.

I use hanging shoe organizers from IKEA. I have a section for each major color, and a section for batiks, courntry plaids, animal prints (child prints) etc.

I go through my fabric fast so I use cardboard to wrap my fabric. I usually buy by the yard, so I know how much I have and sort by color.

Mines a question…which I may just need to pay with…but wondering more details on the folding on to the boards. If I fold my fabric in half lengthwise, it would be around 11 inches so still too wide for a 7.5 × 10 board. Can you give more details on this…

My husband hung decorative curtain rods on the wall, I use Café curtain rings to hold my fabrics 1 yard or less.
