Everyone wants a beautiful, organized sewing space, right? Use these fabric organizers and take your fabric storage to the next level. Not only are they functional, allowing you to store your fabric on bookshelves, in drawers, or in bins, but they allow you to easily see what you have, saving you time.

What's a Fabric Organizer

A fabric organizer is a board with multiple tabs that allows you to secure your fabric and flip your fabric onto the board. They are, essentially, mini-bolts.

Take your crazy fabric bin and turn it into something that you will love to look at, that is, until you use it to make something beautiful.

How to use the Fabric Organizers

In addition to storing your fabric like your yardage or your fat quarters, you can also use the fabric organizers in other ways. It is great for storing scrap fabric, binding, elastic, decorative trim, ribbon or Rick Rack, and more!

We often get our fabric folded at 22". Simply fold it in half again and get 11". This fits perfectly between the tabs of the large organizer. Super convenient.

What are they made of?

I have heard people make the comment, they're just fancy cardboard. Let's touch on that. They are acid-free corrugated plastic. In addition to not harming your fabric, the plastic will not squish as cardboard does. Best of all, these fabric organizers are reusable.

What would I change?

I am a big fan of these fabric organizers. The one thing that I would change, if I could, would be the sticker placement. I found a few of the stickers were placed over the tabs. It was an easy fix. I just took a small knife and cut around it. Other than that, they are a fantastic product.
