I recently bought new panels for my living room windows. They came in those small, clear bags with zippers. I am using them to sort cut scraps into for my scrappy quilts. They stand up beautifully on the shelf side by side and I can easily slide one out part way to see what size blocks are inside, and slide it right back in if it's the wrong one or wrong colors.

That is a wonderful idea. I put sewing patterns in the smaller ones since i can not get the patterns back the way they come in the envelopes.

Thanks for posting the storage ideas!

I am using plastic food containers to store cut out tumbler blocks I hope to sell at a craft fair. The container are perfect packaging.

I used one similar to the brownie bites to give a gift of rolled up 1 1/5 inch strips. Perfect for wrapping:)

I use tons of zip-loc bags. I use them to store almost anything. Love them.

I use the rectangular plastic containers with clear lids from Chinese "take-out" for storing many sewing items. One contains all my markers and pigma pens, another one contains items for hand sewing, like my Clover needle threader, thimbles, needles, bees wax, etc. I have 4 or 5 of them. And they stack beautifully.

But its such a good source of fiber! :)

I use the lids of the butter containers to make templates.

I really enjoy the "Crystal Light" drink mix containers. They are narrow and only 6.5 inches long, great for traveling to retreats, as they take very little space. The label on the container peels right off exposing a clear, see though view of what you have stored in it, or ID it.

great ideas guys
