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!

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!
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.
I use these clear zippered bags in my RV Camper to keep my sheets & pillowcases in. Next camping trip I know they are clean & dust free.
I store all my yarn in the big comforter bags. That way I can see all the colors. The bags stack very well in the bottom of my closet.
I use those zippered bags when we go on vacation. I put all our toiletries, makeup, lotions in them. They are clear so you can see in the bag without emptying it.
I use them as many others but then one day thought to offer them to a person who was living out of a shopping cart. I gave him five of them, he had been keeping his items in found grocery bags. These are much sturdier.
