Sharing my stash for #ThriftyThursday

I’m often asked how I store (and keep track of) my ever-growing refashionista stash of vintage and thrifted goodness making it a perfect theme for Thrifty Thursday!

Thrifty refashionista stash storage

Take a peek at my thrifted, upcycled and repurposed stash storage solutions below:

refashioning stash storage shelving

I’ve had these shelves for years and they’d been used in just about every room before eventually housing the bulk of my crafty stash in my section of the home office in our “Remise” (a small renovated German farm building).

The boxes on each shelf are organized by contents and clearly labelled with upcycled clothespins.

The top of the shelves have a few groovy inherited sewing boxes containing my extra threads and yarn + more fabric/clothing storage bags.

refashioning notions stash

A thrifted shelf keeps smaller sewing notions and fabric pieces neat, tidy and organized.

Here’s a closer look at some of the fab bits stored on those shelves.

Hidden stash storage

This small upcycled desk shelf was created from orange boxes and its contents neatly hidden behind a decorative DIY curtain.

And a quick peek at what lives on those shelves…

Button Stash Storage

including my baby food jar button storage – kept together in an upcycled fruit box and organized by colour, of course!

Laundry hamper fabric stash storage

And last but certainly not least my thrifted laundry hampers keep my knit, denim and cotton gear for refashioning organized and out of the way under my work table.

How do you organize and store your refashioning stash?
