Oh my....I like your idea much better...but..I need more then just my butt lolololol..
Brings back memories of when my DH was a child. His mom is very short (4' 11") and he was 4 years old. His mother made everything from scratch..so he was use to seeing his mom using the rolling pin. He said to her..mommy if we lay you on the floor and roll you, you will get taller!!
I always tell my doctor, I am not fat..I am just short for my size. If I was another 5 inches taller..I would be skinny. He laughs everytime. ha ha ha

I use SPACE bags and have only had one in 5 years that didn't hold. I do use them. I have 1 large that is sorta a box on the bottom and space bag on top that I keep the "current" fabrics and projects in. keep it near to the sewing area aka kitchen table. when company is coming I can put put everything in and shrink it down. push it under the table and it's out of the way!

I've never had any luck with these kind of bags. I found that a heavy duty trash bag gathered and held around a vacuum hose will achieve the same results and hold up better than the expensive bags. Just suck the air out, and tightly wrap a rubber band around it.
