Personally, I prefer drawers. I have my fabric "ruler" folded, then I stand them on edge in the drawers, this way I can see the fabrics without having to mess up the drawer looking for a particular fabric. This way also prevents so much dust and sunlight exposure, although in my sewing room that isn't a problem, since I have only 1 fairly decent sized window, but it's a north facing window. I'll send a pic when my dh gets up, I can't figure out how to attach a photo right now. LOL
