I always save the clear zippered bags that sheets, comforters, etc. come in to use for storing sweaters in the summer, children's puzzles, toys, heirloom baby clothes, or anything that comes to mind. Great storage for just about anything!
I needed storage for a lot of skeins of yarn after filling a huge tote of them and came across the zippered bags that I had kept for "in case". They worked out well to put the rest of the yarn in and compress down. You can see the colors you have and how much. I use the bags also for storing finished or unfinished projects until I am ready to use or give as gifts or complete.
Never store anything in plastic that needs to breathe, like cotton heirloom clothing, quilts, etc. All those natural fibers need air to breathe. Do store them in cotton only pillowcases to let them breathe and to stop them from mildewing!

Tip: Reuse Sheet, Blanket and Comforter Bags (06/15/2009)
I reuse bags from Blanket, Sheets and Comforters to store items in my garage. They often are clear which allows you to see what's inside them. They also stack pretty well.

RE: Reuse Sheet, Blanket and Comforter Bags
I also use them at yard sales to put sets of things in like toy sets in and tape the zipper so children cannot separate them, etc. (07/07/2004)

Plastic Blanket Covers
I save the plastic covers that come with new blankets, down comforters, etc. and use them to store other items. I especially like the fact that they have a zipper.

I like to use them to store summer clothes in. They hold a great many summer shirts and calf length pants. (10/07/2004)

RE: Reuse Sheet, Blanket and Comforter Bags
I recently went camping with our youth group at church and took my 4 yr old girl with us and we packed her entire weekend wardrobe within the see through bag a blanket had come in, and she was able to see it all at once. She chose to use the clear zippered blanket bag over all her more expensive Barbie/Dora and other backpacks. I may put a few cute stickers on it and keep it around awhile! (10/12/2004)

We used to keep our winter emergency kit for the car in one. It made it easy to keep everything together and see what needed to be replaced. (11/18/2004)
