Husband made me a cabinet that's 6' high, 3' wide and 2' deep. the shelf space is between 13" and 14". I use the comic boards and the bolts most stores are happy to let you keep. I cut a couple of those board down to size, stapled together and taped the divide and staples. Most of my containers are see through. I bought, from Michaels, 14"x14" scrapbook containers (clear/clear). Those are labeled with projects for each of my boys and their girls. Each container holds the fabric that will be used for that particular project and the pattern. Watch for these when they are on sale. Others use unused pizza boxes. I've not been lucky enough to get them for reasonable price. That's OK because I prefer to see what I've got. A side tip for your smaller fabric containers. When you come across any OTC bottles that have the little silicone packets left from the empties save them for your smaller containers. Helps with keeping any moisture from accumulating. They really do work. Label as you go or when you go through your stash at different intervals. I store mine inside the container since mine are clear, I can scratch through if I transfer and add to another container. I have also made my own bolts by using cardboard from boxes about to be recycled. A packet of comic book boards is only abut 1 1/2", so they won't take up any more space than that. They're sturdy but not that thick.
