No skirt pictures today - we didn't have time. This morning we drove to Mannheim for some serious IKEA shopping. We needed a slipcover for the winter white couch that developed a coffee stain courtesy of my husband. And we wanted a matching footstool. But I digress.
I got a few extra shelves for my stash closet and 16 of those white boxes you can see in the picture below (top shelf). I had to pull out all of my fabrics and move the pegs that hold the shelves so that I could fit in the new ones. This resulted in a major stash reorganization. Black, gray, and red fabrics on one side, all other colors on the other.
Wow! I didn't realize I had that much black and gray fabric. Good to know though. I'll need to remember that next time I am tempted by some lovely charcoal wool/silk from my favorite supplier.
I have two plastic drawer bins that I'm going to move into the white boxes as I use up the fabric and free up space in the stash closet. I'd really like to have no more plastic drawers by the end of this calendar year. Wish me luck! (And time to sew!)

Nice and neat! :)Looks great.
everything looks neat and organized indeed
I like how you can actually see everything you have. Makes it easy to shop your stash :)
Love that shelving system. What a nice size stash. I could live with a stash that size!!
If you substitute red to purple, ths could be my fabric stash....

You have some lovely pieces there (particularly in the coloured cupboard). But I think the stash is a bit small. But then maybe you are very good at making up what you buy. Very neat!!
Alexandra .- wow that good organization. I always want to do the same, but never with it. My house is owned by the fabrics, patterns and sewing utensils. admiration for you. Ahhh ... thank you for your e-mail. best wishes. Paco
Oh my gosh! That is great organization. I'm like that too--in my dreams LOL ;) !
Wow, I'm so jealous of your organization! Wish I had the room for something like this.
Love your new stash system! The white shelves really allow the fabric colors to stand out. Nice job!
These photos make my heart go pitter-patter!
I love an organized space, esp. filled with sewing supplies!
Oh, that looks so nice and organized. I definitely feel inadequate. ;-(
Love all that organization. When I started buying things I already had I knew it was time to organize too!
I love these shelves. I find that organization leads to inspiration.
That looks so beautiful - and inspiring. It looks to be just the right amount to play with and not overwhelm.
Alex, Your shelving and the way you've organized your stash (which is really larger than pictured because of the fabric you have still at my house) looks great. I may have to consider some shelving units like that to go with my cubes. :-)
What a great set-up! Now you can easily see everything!
What a *great* way to store fabric! Beats the way mine is jammed into little cubbies. I think I have sewing room envy!
This looks wonderful. I really need to get my stash down to a more workable size.
Very impressive!
Neat and organized!That is something I am working on.
