I have a 5'x8' bookcase with a bunch of shelves. I break down fabric by color. I also keep Christmas, Halloween, Holiday fabrics in a pile too. My scraps for now are kept in a zippered bag on the shelf since I don't really have much of that. Any fabric other than 100% cotton goes on a shelf all by itself. Little compartments on the shelf I keep my books and rulers, magazines, etc. It works for me until I have a sewing room one day.
