I take pictures of each box of fabric and then take the pictures into Photoshop and make a page that contains a picture of each piece in the box and print page ... Then I tape page to side of box so they are clearly visible. Every time I use a piece of the fabric I take a marker and X out picture. That way I always know what I have in boxes.

Well, they say everyone has a twin and you must be mine because I am exactly the same as you. I used to have a sewing room and now I have a sewing house. I always said I have more fabric than the quilt shop that I buy it from. You look so organized but then so am I. Happy sewing!

This isn't bad. You need more. Lol ... I have 3 double door pantries, 2 Large office filing cabinets, an ex-large work table with 4 huge drawers, about 30 large flat-rate postal boxes and several other cabinets. My sewing room is now spreading into it's third room.I have more fabric than Hancock Fabrics. lol ... I always say I am a fabric junkie .. worse than most heroin addicts! I used to hide my fabric in the trunk of my car until my DH went to work and then I would work it into my stash ... DH got wise when it stash started taking over second room. My Favorite saying, that hangs in my sewing room is, "My husband lets me buy as much fabric as I can hide!" .... So buy on! lol

Forgot to mention .. All is folded exact same size and put in order by color and fabric type. I have OCD so very organized.

Your stash looks a lot neater than mine. Mine is on those metal shelving units - I have 2 of them and they don't hold it all and you can't get any more on it! Plus I have some on a shelf in our closet. I just need time to get caught up and my stash would go down.
Real nice!
