I used to have fabrics sorted by type, sub-sorted into projects on other shelves. I now have the majority of it in the clear plastic tubs. I have labels on the tubs but it still helps to be able to see the actual fabric, at least for me. I learned very fast not to get the larger size tubs as they can get HEAVY. Quick and fast storage are the big zip-lock bags. They do help keep everything together nicely but do no stack well. There is always a pile waiting to be sorted out and stored however :). My shelving is a hodgpodge which I hope to unify one day. The current workroom is in the basement and some space had been lost to needing to keep access to the water shut-off valve (it's an old house) and the stone room under the front porch (did I mention it was an old house :) ). Don't know what this room was used for originally. It is too cold and a bit damp to work in but we are in Kansas so this is our fail-safe tornado shelter :). Hubby built two low rolling platforms, one single-tub width, one double-tub width, to go in these spots. I can stack them pretty high and still easily roll out of the way for access, or to other places in the basement when I am reorganizing. Very handy.
