I like her storage ideas. You can get containers at the $ store and our grocery store has packs of 3 for $. I know, I know, plastic isn't good for the fabric, but if you have had your fabric in tubs for years with no problems, then I guess I don't understand the concern. The cotton plant is a living breathing plant, but once it is picked and the cotton is made into stuff, it is no longer alive and if it needs to breathe, then I figure it can catch it's breath whenever I take it out of a tub to look for something.
