I tend to store my supplies in fun-looking boxes by similarity. So, all the buttons are stored in small jars, by color, in one box that I found at Walmart.
Right now my whole sewing and creative space is one corner of our little home. So, I store my fabric in big plastic containers by intended purpose. Christmas and other holiday fabrics in one container, baby/children's cottons and flannels in another container, plain cottons or large pieces of cotton that will be backing or lining fabrics in another container, then the fun cottons for making my bags and small quilts in the last container.
Finally, I have a couple of medium-sized clear boxes for storing the small pieces either in strips or blocks that I need to keep seeing so that I will use them up.
My rule of thumb for now is I won't take in more fabric than will fit in my system because we have limited space. It helps me use up fabric and keep making my crafts for the upcoming fair season. Thanks for letting me share!
