Many good ideas here. I use clear bins, so I can see what's in them, but I still lose stuff. Also like 2 gallon ziplock bags, they let stuff lay flat. Flimsies are in plastic bins, but I have too many, so they are folded on a table in my "sandwich shop", The room where I have two cutting tables pushed together where I build my quilt sandwiches. It's a guest bedroom, I 'll really have to clean it out if guests come!
