[quote=sewcrafty]If at all possible, get your material where you are!! I'm doing the 2 level thing and honestly it gets annoying!! Go downstairs and pick out fabric, take it to sunroom (lots of light) try to decide, then think oh I can use this color, back downstairs!!
I'm with sewcrafty. If you'd be too cramped taking all your fabric down, at least take down everything you'll use for a couple of projects. If you're worried about light exposure put them in dark coloured plastic boxes. Stacked, they don't take up much room. I bought some 3x4 stick-on labels at Staples so I can tell at a glance what's in each box.
