My stash is not super huge like some so I am able to have it all folded on shelves and can see it every time I walk in the fabric closet. It also eliminates a need for bins,which hide fabric, and cataloging.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297064581728205842.post-86685216657945176252010-07-03T19:55:33.913-04:002010-07-03T19:55:33.913-04:00I have almost 700 yards catalogued in a database b...I have almost 700 yards catalogued in a database by type of fabric, color (with Pantone #s), yardage, manufacturer, and which tub # it's stored in.

And I do find the occasional fabric I had forgotten about when I browse or organize my fabrics.

But the garment fabric is mostly stuff I will like when I get around to sewing it. In fact, I am ready for autumn now. There are a few wools calling to me.<br />Keep the crystal beaded Mary McFadden.

The 3% mystery fabric is because I have not found time to be more organized. Yes! I have some "what was I thinking" fabric that I have outgrew in terms of tastes and lifestyle but I can't part with because they remind me of when I bought them.
