I put them in the plastic cases with handles at Joann or a lady I know has these paper boxes that were made for a tour company and they are prefect to put a project in. I think I have 10 of them and hope to buy more this year. Some big projects are in larger plastic tubs

I can stack them on shelves, in totes, etc. without fear of pilferring the fabric that is in a sealed bag but can still see what each package is. You can even tape the top if you think you might still pull out pieces. The bags even prevent any pieces that might already be cut out from escaping. And you will have the peace of mind to know that at any given time you can grab a bag and sit down with it ready to go.

I use baskets that will nest inside each other so you can stack them and they take up minimal space

I use big gift boxes, giant ziplock bags, and big striped zipper bags. Tie a luggage label or tape a notepad page on and write what's in it and what is needed and throw the pattern in, as well as thread and whatever else you need for that project. When I go out - I cruise past my boxes and bags and see what I need for each project and jot it on my shopping list.

If you worry about sealing fabric in zipped plastic bags, use a hole punch in a few places on the bag. You can zip the top so nothing escapes, and the little holes are too small for anything to fit through.
