Thanks for this link-I'm redoing my sewing room. I like the inexpensive and recycled aspect so may use this idea but be selective with what containers I use-vegetable ones over anything with meat/seafood product as others stated due to smell and residual oils.

Stash Manicure is a great site. Lots of good uses/ideas for your sewing "stuff".

I use the plastic boxes ALDI packs ground meat in - no covers, but very stackible. Because I sew with scraps, I can sort them and keep them in these boxes, stacked in a larger box for easy moving. I have 2" and 3" and 4" squares - and strips, triangles, ends cut off bias binding and many small odd shaped pieces. I also save narrow strips for the Paths to Piece quilt which takes over 100 sets. A plae for everything and when everything is in its place, it is so nice to find them easily.

Clutter control at work!

Maybe you can ask the produce manager if he will save you the comtainer that he might have to throw out.

What a great idea. Thanks for posting.

Those plastic Chinese take-away boxes are now going to have my stash arranged in them from now on.

Is this doing our bit for the planet?
