1.Bookcases
First is the easiest and most common method of organizing fabrics which is using a bookcase. You can purchase several of these to store away your fabrics neatly. Depending on the size of your sewing room/sewing area you can go for very tall bookcases that go as high as the ceiling or you can just buy the short ones if you have lots of sewing space.
To make sure your fabrics don’t mess up, you can roll the fabrics around a cardboard.
You can easily get a cheap bookcase on Amazon or maybe if you’re lucky you might spot one on your next thrift store trip.

These are really awesome but not if you’re storing LOTS of variety of fabric. I’d be broke! I’m using the comic book archive inserts which work nicely too.
Hi, just doing up my Sewing floor… and have started with the storage area….. I have half a room full of fabric, Just wondering what comic book archive inserts are. I make clothing so the thickness of the fabric often varies too….help….
Stacey, comic book inserts are made for collectors to help store and preserve their comic books. Amazon carries them. They’re so inexpensive they’re sold in quantities of 100. I also bought plastic gizmos that resemble bobby pins to help me keep the folded fabric intact. I’m not yet a neat folder – perhaps with practice….
