My scraps are outgrowing their home, so out of the tubs and into these bags. I love the bags, you can see thru them, they have a handle and comes in diffrent sizes. They are also reasonable in cost too. A win-win!
|
They are awesome !!!
|
I could not live with out them ALL sizes now $ tree has giant ones
|
Most handy!
|
Great idea!!
|
I use them all the time for my fabrics .... I can see what's in there and can get to it pretty easily.
|
Very clever and useful.
|
thanks for sharing.
I hadn't seen these bags before now. Wow I can surely use them for many things. I will be on the look out. |
I didn't now they made these, thanks for sharing!
|
I have been saving and using the plastic container from like the produce and bakery. clean them out then cut up different sizes, label and they stack nice. when I am ready for scrappy I just get the container out and go to town sewing.
|
Haven't seen those in the store yet. Will have to re-look!
|
I love them ... So many uses! For some things I prefer them over tubs, as they can colaspe and expand.
|
great tip, thanks. i still dig through tubs for my scraps
|
I love these too!
|
Great Idea
|
Great idea, thanks so much for sharing this with us. Peggy
|
Thanks. I need to get some.
|
I use zip locks a lot but have never seen the ones with the handles. I like the 2 gallon ones I buy in Walmart. I try to put each project Im working on in one of them so I can pick one up when I go to Sit and Sew and everything is in one place.
|
Thanks for a good idea. I appreciate the picture of the box as I now know what to look for.
|
What did we do before ziplocs!! Great invention!!
|
Thanks for sharing, did not know about these and with handles, wow can use them for a lot of things, even Xmas stuff, thanks so much
|
Got them... use them... love them.
|
I have used them for many years... they are getting easier to find... I store everything from fabric to projects to clothes in them.... but my best find use is, I store my embroidery head/hoop ( I have a combo machine) in one when not in use.. itis the perfect size and keeps everything dust free
|
Hmm, I have some of these, may be a good place for my scraps too! Great idea, thanks for sharing!
|
I use the giant one from $tree, flip it over and cover my machine. It still can get air from the bottom since I don't zip it shut and it keeps the dust and other junk from landing on my machine when not in use.
|
I can get the XL and XXL sizes locally but they also make an L size which I saw on F and Porter. I orderd 2 boxes from Amazon.com as I could not find the L size locally. They were perfect for what I
had in mind. I use the XL and XXL ones too. |
I often times wonder how we ever survived without ziplock bags. They are good for everything imaginable. Thanks for sharing.
|
I love zip loc bags did you know you can squeeze the air out of them by hand and get even more in them and they don't usually loose there seal like the vacumn bags do

I love the larger ones, put my want to do projects in them, fabric, pattern etc. tape a list on the front whats inside and things i still need to get for it. Also for ufos they go in with a list of what still needs to be done, or what it is waiting for (usually me), so it is all in one place, I then can select which one has less to do or if i have lots of time pick one that has more to do. And they are getting done.

I attached a dowel rod under one of the shelves in my sewing room. Hung these bags from shower curtain hooks on the rod. My scraps are sorted by color into the bags
|
Now I'm thinking maybe I should do that, too. I have all my fabric in the large ones & scraps in shoe boxes-which I don't like. I think I'll do this tomorrow!!
|
I use the plastic produce contains which you can see thru. However I'm going to check out the Dollar tree to see if I can't pick up those large bags, too. Thanks for that tip annie's=best.
|
Thanks for the great idea. Will have to get these.
|
I have these and use them for kids toys -- probably need to get more to use for fabric. Thanks for the great idea!
|
My girlfriend gifted me with a couple of these. I actually fit a few bolts in them. LOVE 'em.
|
I am going to look into getting some of these. Dollar Tree first
|
I haven't seen these. Where do you buy them?
|
could not sew without them and i too love the big bags
|
I haven't seen these before. Will look for them on my next shopping trip. Thanks for the tip.
