Just made sure to keep the bag out of any sunlight !! YIKES!!!

While some swear storage in vacuum bags works fine for them, others report that the fabric stinks to high heaven when the bags are opened. It's already flat, so the bags save no space. Fabric needs air to breathe and stay healthy, just like you do.

I think the better question is, "why do you ask/why are you wanting to do that?"
Your fabric won't be easily accessible for 'audition' if you have to open then reseal a bag every time you want to use it. It's so much easier -- IF you are planning to regularly use your fabric collection -- to have it stored so that you can sort through it (and fondle it)!


The again, if you are planning to move or need to store it for an extended period in a tight space, then perhaps these storage bags might work, with the cautions mentioned.

I have had great success storing fabric long term in those large sterilite clear plastic boxes with a snap on lid. The boxes stack neatly on top of each other, and the lids stay on tight. Then, if you want to get into any of the boxes to look for a fabric, or whatever, it's very easy to do. The fabric has lasted with no problems and still looks as new as it did when I bought it. Just an idea.

I stor a lot of clothing in space bags and have never had a problem..

I'm no help at all on this. I want my fabric out where I can see it! And feel it, and audition it at a moment's notice. !)

I just read a posting somewhere where a person had used these to store fabric and/or quilts and could not get the plastic smell out of the fabric later. Not personal experience, just read it recently.
