Like everyone else, I should label my fabric but never seem to find the time. I like your label! One thing I might add, or put in the "other" space, is information on what other fabrics (I bought at the same time) that coordinate with it. Many times I'll be at the fabric cutting station in a shop only to have someone remark "Wow, those two fabrics look good together!" I then go home, the fabric might sit in a bag for awhile, and when I do get around to storing it (by color), I usually forget that "this can go with that" type of information.

One question... how do you attach your label to the fabric? If I pin something, especially for long periods of time, I worry about the pin rusting and staining the fabric, even if I pin in the selvage area. How do you do it? Thanks.
