Laundry hamper for scraps?
#12
All sorts of different options work for different people. I keep my scraps in plastic shoe boxes, sorted by color or fabric type (novelty, batik, etc.) I like to keep them ironed flat, rather than jumbled in a hamper, and I have shelves in the sewing room where the boxes are stacked and labeled, so I can find them easily. This works better for me.

I use one of those pop-up hamper thingies. But, I found a smaller one at Hobby Lobby - The base is 12" X 12" and the height is 21" tall. With the 40% off coupon it was only a few $$$. I love it. When it's all the way full, it stuffs 2 smaller sized dog beds for charity. (I found it in the front area displays by the cash registers...and it comes in different colors (mine is purple).

I fold scraps with the larger piece that is left over but, if I was going to put them separate, I'd like something that I can see what's in the bottom of the pile. The mesh or a clear plastic would work better for me
