craftgrrl | Space Conscience Organization?

My fabric is everywhere! I have 3 apple boxes full of fabric, a box of various ribbons and notions, and a medium/large moving box of remnants. I need a space saving way to deal with this. The fabric reall is the most important thing to condense and organize.

Why? Here’s the story: As a college student I’m renting a room from my brother. He’s a great roommate and a great friend. He rarely complains about anything and he’s really helping me out, so I try to read between the lines and do what I can to make life easier. I have extra space for my drafting table, art supplies, and sewing, but I really want to figure out how to get it out of the way.

I got my yarn habit under control a while ago. Turns out a great solution to yarn tucked away for years that you never even look at is to send it away with your brother to his office. Let the women there pick it clean, then you’re only left with the stuff you have ideas and time for!

I’m really into restoring and refurbishing old/unfinished furniture(been doing it since the 10th grade), SO NO SUGGESTION IS TOO ELABORATE!

Pictures welcome! I’d love to see your creative solutions. Thanks everyone!
