I've recently gone through a lot of mine and made the plastic tubs a little more compact. In doing that I was able to empty out 3 or 4 completely...

I helps to look at what you have periodically. But today I was looking for some solid light blue and couldn't find any. :(

I have a generous stash, but it is all on Boards and easy to see. When shopping. I have bought duplicates, but most of the time I buy fabrics to coordiinte for a mysterious future project and therefor do not mind duplicates.

I'm a visual person so all of my fabric is on shelves or behind glass. I do KNOW what I have because I take it out and pet it regularly. DH tells me to go pet my stash when I get grumpy.

Writing it down would not make a damn bit of difference because I would still go look at the shelf before I would look at t alist.

I'm not organized enough to keep a record of what I have. Mine is sorted by color. I would rather spend my time sewing - not keeping a spreadsheet. If I sew enough I wouldn't have need of a spreadsheet - I wouldn't have too much fabric.

I can't imagine having a complete list. Mine is just sorted by color and some by theme (cat, Christmas, Music).

Most of my stash is sorted into bins by color (about 4-5 bins need to be resorted).
However what exactly is in each bin I have no clue YET. But I hope to find out SOON.

A lot of my husband's money converted to fabric is what is in mine.

My stash is neatly organized and easy to see. So no list for me. I would probably get writer's cramps if I had to list it all. LOL!

I pretty know what I have - I just don't always know where it's hiding. Right now I need my solid black. Where are you, my pretty???
