Are you like me? Do you fall in love with a new fabric every time you go shopping? Are you running out of room to keep all of your beautiful prints? Here are some fabulous fabric storage examples:
Here are some fabric storage tips:
- Avoid Creases - If fabric sits too long, creases may permanently set. Avoid this by rolling long sitting fabric onto a tube. A great use for empty wrapping paper tubes!
- Use Pest Deterrents - Keep moths and beetles at bay by regularly vacuuming your storage area. Use moth balls to keep your fabric from looking like Swiss cheese.
- Keep Odors Away - Cigarette smoke or heavy cooking odors can sink deep into fabric. If this sounds like your house, keep fabrics in air-tight plastic containers. This way, they smell as fresh as the day you bought them.
- Stay Out of the Light - Fabric exposed to light sources for a period of time will inevitably fade. Rotate fabric often, or make some quick drapes to cover your storage area.
- Keep it Dry - Never store damp fabric. It must be completely dry before putting it away. Damp fabric is a hotbed for mold that can spread to other fabrics around it.
