Organizing Fabric, Chapter 1

When Organizing bolts of fabric, it's best to start with two divisions: prints, and solids.
Put all your print bolts on one shelf, and all of the solids on another shelf (or bookcase, depending on how much space you have and how big your "collection" is :).
Next, further divide these two categories, one by one, into the following categories:
Sub-Category 1:Type of fabric. Knits, wovens, napped, and specialty fabrics should all be grouped separtely.
Just stand them up, bookstyle, like they are on a library shelf. Put all your knits to the far left, then the wovens next to them, etc. Do the same with your solids.
2. Color of fabric. With the solids, this is easy. Just put all of the pinks, reds, and rose-colored fabrics together, from darkest to lightest. Go to the next color, say, brown, starting with deep mocha and ending with tan, whatever. Now, with your prints, this gets a bit more tricky. I suggest blurring your eyes (or taking off your glasses), and deciding what the overall color of the fabric is. Then, group accordingly.
