    Thank you for the info. I knew someone would let us know. The soap idea is good too. I always have hotel soaps laying around form traveling. Wonder why they sell the plastic projects boxes at Quilt stores? I would think air gets into them nicely? I know I like those boxes. I also make lots of "kits" up for Project Linus and put them in baggies until they are made. Might just leave the bag open. Thanks for sharing everyone.

    the storage containers are not for long term. They are PROJECT holders not heirloom storage... :D
    on the Kit bags, just leave it open about 2", but again, they are not going to be stored in them for long so it does not matter.

    I buy at the $ store those zipper pillow protectors. The fabric is similar to J-cloths. Not the plastic ones.

    Good insight. SOme projects stay in longer than others but not long enough to hurt. And the kits about a month sometimes, so will leave the opening. I love learning new things on here daily. Good post David.

    I would not. Dryer sheets have been known to stain fabric.

    I wouldn't. I wouldn't want the chemicals of the dryer sheets right up against the fabric, especially new dryer sheets, but even used ones.
