I got some sheets I had ordered today they reminded me of a storage idea I've used but tend forget about. For small cuts of fabric, pre cuts, jelly rolls, I use the zippered soft plastic container that the sheets come in. The small size makes them perfect for fabric collections, small cuts, pre cuts, etc. They usually have a pocked inside with a cardboard in it telling what it was that came in it. I just take that cardboard and turn it over to the blank side and write what I'm storing in it. It's quick, easy and best of all free!

Great idea, Patrice.
I just got sheers for a bazillion windows and each panel came separate in a zippered plastic bag. What a score! They are the perfect size for projects, small amounts of fabric, etc. So many uses.
My only question is- do you think it may help me get organized?

I always have this fantasy that it's going to help me get more organized and it might help and tiny bit, but not all that much.

I store my fabric in empty clear plastic rectangular containers that I get at the grocery store when I'm purchasing loose leaf lettuce. We eat the lettuce, I wash the container (with lid), dry them and put my fabric in. I like these containers because I can stack them and see through them. It works for me. I hope it's OK to keep my fabric in these plastic containers... and they are Free after we eat the lettuce!

Yes! I save and use those too! The last ones I received were not zippered, but were all cloth and had a velcro closure on the flap...nice! I also make storage bags out of scraps occasionally. That being said, all those bags and all those projects stored away has not helped me one iota to get anything completed. They look nice and neat though.

I enjoy these also as we are full-time in our 36' RV. As I work on a project and am gathering material for another one, I can maximize my space as they are soft and malleable. I would go crazy if I couldn't see what was in each bag and had to open a container to find out what was in it.
