Posted a second time to add about 'dedicated' fabrics - fabrics bought for a specific project/pattern in mind. These are stacked together - with the pattern usually or at least a name - bundled together and stacked on a separate shelf in a different cabinet. That way I am not tempted to pull from one project for another and end up with one fabric missing. If the pattern is from a magazine I make a copy of the picture page and - on theback - make a copy of the yardages needed. That gives me all of the information that I need and also tells me which magazine it is in. These are the sheets that I take with me to the store to pull fabrics for. When there is a good sale I will usually take 8 to 10 'project' sheets. I hate when I go shopping and find fabrics that I think is just perfect for a project and don't have the yardage information. I also listed on this sheet the sku numbers, names and stock numbers for each of my fabrics in case I do need to go back and find more.
