I place mine into gallon, 1.5 or 2 gallon ziplock bags. Making them up like kits. It keeps all the pieces together and I can put the pattern in with it, even if it's a copy of the first page from a book with needed info. written on it. I can stack them on shelves, in totes, etc. without fear of pilferring the fabric that is in a sealed bag but can still see what each package is. You can even tape the top if you think you might still pull out pieces. The bags even prevent any pieces that might already be cut out from escaping. And you will have the peace of mind to know that at any given time you can grab a bag and sit down with it ready to go.
