Step 1
Before you begin, you will need to download the page pdf above and print this out on to thick paper or card, make 15 of these initially.
Step 2
Designate a page per colour and colour in a tab on the right with that colour. One tab per page.
Step 3
Cut off the remaining tabs that you did not colour.
Step 4
Cut a small square from your fabric.
Step 5
Stick this to the page and write in it's details below: fabric type, fabric colour, amount you have in your stash and where you bought it from.
Step 6
Label the fabric with a code, and then place a tab on to the fabric with the corresponding code. Continue this with the rest of your fabric.
Step 7
Make pages for all the colours and use any remaining tabs for things like felt, ribbon and trimmings.
Step 8
Now, download the <a href="/photos/howto/misc/fabricbrochure/cover.pdf">cover pdf</a> and print this out on to coloured card. Place this on the front of your brochure and a second, blank bit of card, at the back.
Step 9
Punch holes through the entire stack and slip on a couple of jump rings. Now you're ready to get organized.

Been sewing off and on a good many years, and finally got a new sewing machine. I'm ready to try some new projects, but my fabric stash is in a state of disarray. Having this file will be a great help in getting them better organized. Thank you for sharing the idea and pdf!
