I thought about wrapping the fabric like some of you do, but I don't think that will work too well for me. I have so many different sizes of fabric and I want to keep colors together.
make sure your plastic is NOT air tight! lack of air will cause fabric to dry rot! Plastic also gives off gasses during extreme temp changes...
also if moisture gets in there, then you could mold...
the drawers work well as they are not air tight, but it is still a good idea to line the drawers with acid free tissue paper before putting your fabrics in them.
