Well, there is that wonderful acronym PIGS (Projects In Grocery Bags) that you can use instead of WIPs and UFOs!

One has to do what they need to do to keep things organized! I got tired of not being able to find fabrics or instructions to make a project and then spending hours looking - that was keeping me from accomplishing anything. Now that I put my projects in an acid free container I don't have to look far to start or continue a project. Works for me!

I am a plastice bin lady myself. But I am now out of plastic bins so its either no more new projects till I finish some or resort to bags.

You can never have too many bags, tote or otherwise.

Bags, bags, everywhere! How can anyone complain?? They are name brand (supermarket, Walmart etc) 2 bags from the same store equal a set of matching luggage!! When it gets out of control, I end up with trash bags!!

I am a pile of bags lady. this pile has UFO's, this pile has baby quilts, this pile has special colors, that pile has requests and another has a pp quilt in plastic bags. I think I like the shoebox idea, They would stack easier than the bags. lol

I'm a modern clear tote lady, and hide new fabric under the bed. It may be time for a support group for me.:D

I have bags for fabric, Art bins, Iris totes, and even totes for projects. I just need to finish things, now that I'm retired and supposed to have time.

Sadly I'm both. I have some in bags and some in boxes and they are scattered. Some are by my sewing machine, some on the dining room tqable and some in my bed room, I keep looking at them thinking I need to be more organized but that might be to scarry.

YES!! YES!! YES!! I love getting a bag filled for a project! Keeps my mind straight...and I can quickly be ready to start a new one when I finish one (or get tired of one!) My bags are getting prettier too as I buy a new one every now and then and carry it with "spirit!"
