In the alcove of my sewing room, I have two of our first suitcases- circa 1979. Since they had no wheels and they were taking up shelf space in closet, I took them into sewing room filling them with vintage fabric picked up over time in large one and muslin/batting pieces/scraps in smaller one. They looked much better in my old room stacked since they match. Will them being in the alcove they are against the wall with plenty of room to get to the window. I also have old sewing tins that I keep extra rotary blades, labels, glue,... I have a small Singer tin that I put selvages in until it is full when I transfer to the ongoing project. You can print off the labels at
