A Moneta and My Personal Fabric Store

I have been sewing up a storm this month and I finally joined the rest of you and made a lovely Moneta dress from Colette Patterns.

I had a little trouble with my twin needle at the neckline due to my own dumb fault of not testing it on a scrap piece of fabric. It got all kind of wonky so I had to turn my neckline under an extra time but It worked out pretty well and I’m sure no ones the wiser.

I am in love with how super comfy this dress is and who doesn’t love pockets!!! This is a great piece for Arizona since its so light and breezy in this super soft jersey print. I need to make some more of these with a slightly longer sleeve to cover my tattoo for work.

I may have already made another one!! In the most practical print ever!!

And now to show you what comprises my lovely backdrop for these photos – my ridiculous fabric stash!! You may have seen a shot of this madness on my instagram a while back so i thought I should share it officially.

When I moved at the beginning of the summer I went from a studio apartment which was a glorified one room place to my new digs where I have a whole room and closet dedicated to sewing. My number one priority of my sewing room was having open storage for my fabric so I could be inspired and more importantly be able to see what I have in the stash.

I fold my fabric into little bolts with these comic book boards. Comic book storage supplies are one of the best things for organizing your sewing room!!

I hope that this makes it easier to shop my own stash instead of buying new fabric every 5 minutes but I’m trying to be realistic and James believes I’ll be asking for another row of shelves in a matter of months!

How do you store your fabric and how do you curb your fabric stash? Or are you like me and you’ve given up trying?
