But I've found the plastic tubs used for washing machine tablets make great storage pots. I have several next to my sewing machine filled with notions I like to keep nearby - rotary cutters, marking pens, tape measure etc. The tubs are great for transporting these items to sewing days & workshops too.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00815741923418492777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339722470418175310.post-24099367182069243752021-05-06T20:46:45.278-04:002021-05-06T20:46:45.278-04:00SO AWESOME!

I don't have the room for the shelves like you do. I also use the larger plastic containers that a bunch of croissants come in from my local grocery store. I can get a lot of fat quarters or fabric scraps in those croissant containers which also work great for blocks and fabrics for a particular project I am working on. They make great project boxes. I store the croissant containers upside down leaving the black bottom as a lid on top. They stack great this way. Love to see others recycling instead of going out and buying storage containers just to store their stuff.lisa0116https://www.blogger.com/profile/07762879176838183167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339722470418175310.post-47893219915335693512021-05-05T20:52:26.042-04:002021-05-05T20:52:26.042-04:00What a great idea.

Small ones are good for odds'n'ends needed on a quilt retreat (of course none of that happening now). Thanks for sharing, take care & hugs from down under.

Years ago I got a CD cabinet ($20 from WM) that has 14 compartments that will each hold about 20 FQ, is about 4'tall, 20" wide, and 4" deep with a flat base so it will stand on its own.

I buy lettuce by the head, just spinach in the container, so might contemplate using those for something in the sewing room. I bought plastic drawers many years ago for this size of fabric and being clear, it's so simple to see which drawer I need, and they come right out too!

However, recycling is something I try to be diligent about and I like using the bins. I keep types of scraps in them. One is full of the bonus HST's that come from certain projects. Some are used to hold scraps that need to be trimmed into other shapes. One is full of my 2 1/2" and 3" squares I have cut. You get the idea. <br />Great post Cheryl.
