I've also found that using various size ziplock bags works great for keeping the small pieces together, whether it is for pieces of a project or for left over scraps. They can then be put in an appropriate size box so they don't slip and slide all over the place.

Good Idea but I would have to take everything else that I store in the luggage out to put the fabric in and then I would have to find a place to store what I took out!!!

I store out of season clothing in my mom's old 1950's luggage set (2 huge hardside suitcases). Hard to believe people travelled with that much luggage!!

But if they sucked out enough air space to be able to get the lid shut and latched..........Must put a warning label on it though: Explosives!

They are just a thick piece of acid free paper/board. They come in various sizes. If you get close to 9", you can count the folds to guestimate 1/4 yards.
