Oh Scrap! : A Big Project

 Many Hands and Many Hearts is still working on finding a place we can call its own.  But I am hopeful it will happen by the end of the year.  So I have been working on some projects to make the move a little easier.

I tackled the scraps this week.

We did have someone donate a bunch of small fabric cuts (less than a fat quarter) stored in some plastic tubs to us.  They were already sorted by color.  I decided to start there but add in all our other scraps.  I started with one tub for reds and pinks.  Oranges and yellows also went into their own tub.

We had enough green and blue scraps for them to have their own tub.  These tubs are about 14" x 24".  They hold a LOT of scraps.  

Purple, gray and black all fit together.  And finally, the browns and creams all went into another.  Once I put all the colors away, I was left with novelty prints and solids.  I was able to give each their own tub. We were donated 5 tubs and I had to add three more to hold everything we had.

We now have eight tubs all ready to be moved.  This will make it much easier to find fabrics when volunteers need small pieces to finish a project.  My plan is to not store these on a rack but rather have them in the production space stacked on the floor or a table where they are easily accessible.

And yes. there are already a few bits stacked on top that need put away.  It is going to take a lot of discipline to keep these nice and tidy!
