A swatch journal is a fabulous tool for anyone who sews or has a lot of fabric! It serves as a portable record of your stash, so that as you shop for, yes, more fabric, you'll be able to coordinate colors, avoid duplication, and remember how much you have of a given fabric.

We've designed this handy Fabric Stash Book to help you get started organizing. This file contains two versions of the Stash Book - 8.5" x 11" pages to use in a binder, as well as a smaller, key-ring size version.

Note: For best results, set your printer NOT to scale down the pages. They will work fine if you do scale, but the hole-punch marks will not be lined up correctly if you scale down to print.

Love this idea! I'm heading to the U.S. in a couple months and will definitely be making and taking one of these along in my never ending quest for MORE FABRIC :)  I can't get good quality cotton here in a variety of prints so when we go stateside, I go crazy in the fabric stores!

Thanks so much for sharing this organization tool.  I've been wanting to do this for some time, but didn't know how to get started.

I used to say, 'she who dies with the most fabric wins'. Now I say, 'she or he who has given the most to help others wins'! Yea

I love this project!  Whatever ideas I have in my head often disappear when I enter a fabric store because my brain freezes up upon seeing all the rainbow bolts of color.  I get a little glassy eyed and forget what I came for. I know I will own them all one day, LOL, however, now I can stay on track with my stash book.

I can't believe I didn't think of this :-D  Fabulous idea!  So many times I have bought the same fabric or bought the wrong hue!  Thanks!

I like this download, but the rint is small in gray color which is very dificult to read.  Why don't you have it in black ink which is better to read?  I tried to change my color on my printer but it came out the same.  Thanks
