Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m so excited to be here again and this time I’m sharing another great organizing trick!A couple months ago I received this great question from one of my readers: “Do you have any good ideas on how to organize sweaters? I don’t like to hang them up because they lose their shape and they aren’t in a drawer because I don’t have the space. I currently have them folded in a box, but they always end up all over the place and wrinkled. I live in a tiny apartment and my husband and I share a dresser, which means only two drawers each! I also don’t have any shelf space, it’s taken up by my craft supplies. Just wondering if you had any out of the box ideas.”
{And I just so happened to have one laying around!}
First hang the sweater organizer in the closet, or on a door.
Next take all your sweaters out, fold them nicely and then roll them to fit into the compartments. If you take the time to roll them then you won’t have to worry about them getting wrinkled!
This is such a simple solution for organizing sweaters, sweat shirts, jeans, etc. It clears up drawer space and shelf space, which makes it a win win solution for everyone! I even even have extra drawer space now! Woo-hoo!!!

Be very careful storing your sweaters with the shoe organizer. If your closet system isn’t the sturdiest, you may be rudely awakened to the sound of your entire closet falling down. Or so I’ve been told 🙂

This is awesome, I do this too! My mother in law had three of the nice canvas shoe holders she was going to throw away. I asked if I could have them to store my sweaters she looked at me like I was nuts. I told her I had planned on rolling my sweaters up and that it was so much more convenient then trying to drag the under bed storage out every few days to get to a sweater! The best part is that this spring/summer once it starts getting warm again the sweaters will get put back under the bed to make room for more dresses!

I can’t hang my sweaters? I didn’t know that.
I’m going to try this out. Thanks!
Anna says
You can hang them if you want but a lot of times they’ll end up getting stretched out. 🙂
