I love using old suitcases, preserving jars, colanders, cane baskets etc to store my fabrics, buttons etc in. Plastic see through containers would be more practical – I do find sometimes I have to really rummage to get just the piece of fabric I want but I prefer the eclectic look. My workshop is used for multiple uses – usually fabric, metal and paper printmaking so I like to be able to put one medium safely away while working with the other.
