I have a smaller one I use for these same things. I also have 2 larger ones. I use one for storing the fabrics I recover from recycling clothes from the thrift stores. I roll the fabric sections together and put an elastic around it to hold it in a roll. Most of the elastic I use is recycled from the waists of pants and skirts. The third one I use for bundles of scraps that go together until I find a pattern to use them in. For example brights, stripes, and multicolor prints that don't easily go into a container sorted by color. Two are on the backs of doors and the last one is on my pegboard.
