I like to say I have a suave Spanish man organising my fabric stash
no really, I have 2 of
these in my cupboard. That's all I've got room for unfortunately, and my fabric is spilling over!! I do also have a tub of fabrics that I should probably just get rid of, and a box with my "planned projects". Basically the newest purchases go into the box of planned projects and sit there with an intended pattern until I buy another length of fabric and have a brilliant idea for making it up... then to fit it in the projects box I have to take something else out
In terms of how I sort them, as I've only got 6 drawers to work with (the top of each antonius is filled with UFOs
), they are very loosely grouped into weights - lightweight, medium weight and heavyweight. Then my wool fabrics on their own, linings and interfacings together.
Because they're wire baskets, I can mostly see what's in each (doesn't stop me forgetting what's there!). I've often though about making a sample book for myself, but I don't know that I have the dedication to keep it updated.
