When it comes to fabric storage, I love organization and neatness. Nothing worse than shoving your beautiful fabrics in a bin or closet where you have to dig through them every time you need something! Last year, after getting sick of doing just that- digging through bins, I decided to make a sewing shelf dedicated to storing my notions and patterns. 
I knew that I wanted to have mini "fabric bolts" to store my fabric on and at the time, the only thing I could find that would work were cardboard comic book boards. They worked alright, but since they are made of cardboard, you can imagine that they aren't very sturdy and bend easily- especially if I have more than a yard of fabric on the board/bolt.
A couple weeks ago, I was contacted by one of my favorite shops- PaperPieces.com and they wondered if I wanted to try out Polar Notion Boards.
I was intrigued so I said "yes" and they sent me one 10 pack of the plastic boards to try out. I was skeptical at first because my boards were working fine, but once they arrived I was sold. They are made of a stiff plastic and the fabric wraps around them so nicely! Not only that, but they are acid free... so they aren't going to damage your fabrics over time. I got the original size and they are just the right size- about the same height as my favorite quilting magazine, so they fit perfectly on a book shelf. They do have smaller sizes though if you are looking for fat quarter size bolts. How cute is that!?! I just love them! I can't wait to order more to replace my bent up cardboard bolts.
I love how you can go from a pile of unruly fabric to your own personal "fabric shop" of neatly organized fabric bolts. It really is the perfect answer to fabric organization!
So if you are ready to get organized, right now is the perfect time- all Polar Notions are 20% off until Sunday Nov. 16th. So run over and take advantage of that! You won't be disappointed! :)

ReplyDeleteoohhh... this is exciting, I have been using the boards that they use to paint watercolors on, they are pretty sturdy, but it would be so fun to try out the Polar Board.
ReplyDeleteHmm, let's see, only use those neat boards for new purchases, no sense soiling it with old stash stuff. Ha, So much for that idea. I would use 10 up in a heartbeat, Kathy in Colo repzjr@plains.net

ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to organize fabric! acdiller@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have comic boards, but they're floppy. I've also used cereal boxes since they're about the same thickness. I just cut them to the same size as the comic boards. This is a much better solution.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those people who have to dig through fabric tubs to find what I want. This new product sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this! I use the comic book boards and they are not very sturdy! Thanks! lisawalshatfrontiernetdotnet
