While rearranging my sewing room, I made room on my DVD shelves (top 2 shelves) for all my future projects. This allowed me to make piles for each project, the pattern/book, and any fabrics I might use for that project. I put all the bolts to one end with a tag on them to which project they go to. This way I wouldn't use the fabric on another project I might decide to work on right now. When I find a fabric I think I might want to use for one of those future projects, I add it to the pile for that particular project. Right now I have 14 major projects waiting to be started. Just finished a bunch of smaller projects as I knew I was getting ready to change out my fabric shelves, etc.
