A friend puts all her projects in large zip-closure plastic bags. Hefty makes a 2.5 gal one, although there is no way to easily hang one without making a hole in the bag. Ziploc makes what they call "Big Bags" in three sizes, all of which have handles which could be used to hang the bag. The smallest size is 3 gallons, then they have a 10-gal and a 20-gal.
I've started doing the same thing with my projects. You can fit quite a bit in the 20-gal bags--although I haven't yet tried to figure out how much yardage I can fit in one, I suspect I would be able to get my entire coachman's coat project into one.

As always seems to happen, my sewing area and supplies have exploded and then forced back into various places thus scattering pieces and supplies for various projects. I'm looking for a sturdy, clear bag that I can hang on a hanger, thereby allowing me to put all supplies, notions, and trims inside and have one bag per project. That way I can sort what I have and see at a glance what I have/still need for that project. I'm sure something like what I want exists but cant seem to find it. Also wondering what everyone uses if it's a better method. As always, I'm looking for economical as well. Any ideas/suggestions? Note: Unless they're small pieces or already cut, I keep fabric on bolts or cardboard so that wouldn't be put in said bags. Michael Deibert OAS AAS LLS Sent from my iPhone
