I found a hint on this board and I can't remember where or where to get the cards but they had cards you could print up and I punched holes in the corner and cut out about a 1 inch square and glued to the card and below that there are places to put the length on the fabric and content and width and if it is washed or not. I then put the fabric in plastic bins and put numbers on them. for instance I have a cotton #1 bin and blend#1 bin then I wrote on the bottom of the card which bin the fabric is in. I can take the cards to the shops to compare colors if I need to match fabrics. I wish I could remember where I found the printable cards but maybe someone here will remember.

I was thinking of buying some pretty paper boxes to put them in, but then thought that having them visible might be a source of inspiration?
Anyone have/seen any great ideas on how to store your stash? I have a large wall where I could hang shelving, as one option. Sort of like the idea of containers better though, as they'll get dusty on a shelf, even if in bins.
Thanks!
