 In Theory my fabrics are stored in boxes, sorted by colour…In practice they are crammed into baskets that I tip out on the floor to find what I want because for many years now I have taken fabrics out of the boxes but put non back into them.
Today when I was tipping the fabrics from one of the baskets on to the floor to look for dark red fabric for the top of my stocking, I looked at the pile and decided that it was Time that they were sorted and put away…
They are not put away yet but I have gathered up the baskets and bags of fabric and sorted them into rough colour groups which I will iron and put away one colour at a time…Actually I think it was wanting all the pink fabrics together that motivated me to get them sorted…I want the pink fabrics for an Album cover that I would like to have made by the end of September…

I’m proud of you! The ironing would be such a huge task, I’d never get any farther than these baskets!

I have a pile similar to that on the floor of my sewing room… except it’s estate sale clothes that need washed, cut up, ironed and put away. I think it’s time for ME to spend some time in there cleaning up, too!
