Re: Book Giveaway: "1,000 Clever Sewing Shortcuts & Tips"
The best tip I ever found was for folding and organizing my fabric stash. I used to have just enough to keep in my hope chest, but it has outgrown 2 rooms in my home now! I don't remember where I read the article. I thought it was Threads but can't find it in the archives of my DVD so must have been Sew News? I fold by yards, then in thirds (12 inches width), then folded edge to selvedge. My stash is organized, I can find fabrics in a jiffy, and they fit perfectly in my Ikea storage unit with 25 cubicles! Plus I can just open it up and see how many yards I have at a glance.
