I'm not a fan of drawers - out of sight - out of mind. I am definitely not as organized as luvTooQuilt (guess I'm missing the organizational gene) but I like the see through plastic tubs - separated into groups - by color, Christmas, fall, seasonal, backings, etc. and it works pretty well. At least I can see pretty much what is in each tub and I try to write on a 4 X 6 note card what is in the tub. It was the only way I could get my fabric organized when we downsized from a three-bedroom house to a two-bedroom apt., and I do mean downsized. Hubby hates the bins in the dining room, but they are against one wall and we rarely use the dining room table except for my computer and when I need to cut things out that are too big for my cutting mat in the bedroom/sewing room. One time he actually said it wasn't too bad because of all the colorful fabric. Guess he must have been in a very good mood. Good luck with your sewing room, I'm jealous.
