Some people have yards of fabric. I have a room full. All colors, all types, all different yardages, tons and tons. I hate keeping them in large storage containers. I even tried putting a swatch outside the storage container to see what is inside. It still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Try using clear trash or storage bags, and organizing the bags by fabric type, printed on a masking tape label on each bag. Then you can see what is in the bag. For example, fleece-solid colors, fleece-holiday prints, fleece- animal prints. After bagging and labeling, store alphabetically. Hope this helps.
Oooh, I have fabric stash envy:)
I used to organise mine by hanging the lengths on skirt hanger trees in a clear garment bag to make the fabric easy to see and keep the dust off.
I used a quilting pin to attach a label to each length noting the fabric content (poly-cotton, 100% cotton, etc), any care instructions, the pattern number I thought I might use that fabric for, and the size of the length (3 yds, etc).
Worked really well for me, I could simply open the closet door and browse!
I moved to the UK in 2010 and left my fabric stash with my DIL, sniffle. But I've slightly rebuilt the stash and am about to restart the stash organisation using a charity shop wardrobe.
