I wrap my fabrics around a ruler so they fit better on the shelf in my closet. I find when I can see at a glance what I have to work with I buy less. I also enjoy starting new projects when I don't feel overwhelmed by the mess in my sewing room, so I set aside 1 hour a week to put back any fabrics I have stacked around my sewing room and cutting up my scraps for planed scrappys that I keep in small totes with the pattern. I use these as leaders and enders whenever I sew anything so that I'm more productive. I challenge myself to make at least 5 scrappys a year to keep my scraps from taking over my sewing room.
