I should have read all of the other comments before adding mine!! It makes me feel so good to hear where others store their fabric...I'm not the only one with fabricitis;-)

I purchased two (Now I need two more) used 'horizontal' type filing cabinets. These are the kind with doors that slide out, up and then can be pushed back out of the way. The bottoms can be pulled out also. If I want to know what I have, all I have to do is open all of the doors with fabric behind them. This way they are protected from dust, etc., but readily available for viewing. I was getting very tired of buying fabric or other sewing needs that I already had in the house in a 'clear' storage box. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, I need more as I've gone a bit off my head buying fabric. The fabric is all sorted by type: cotton, fleece, upholstery (half yard pieces I use for bags) etc. If I can find more of these at the great price of $15 (they were on super sale at a used furniture store) I will have to label the doors. Currently, I can remember what type of fabric is behind each door. Now to quit emailing and start sewing bags to reduce the overflow of fabric. Happy New Year to all.
