    Ideas for clothes storage!

    Hi all,

    I am currently looking for creative, space-saving ways to store all of DD's clothes that she has grown out of.

    We don't want to offload them on anyone as we are thinking of having a third and it may be another girl, so we need to keep them - as space-savingly efficiently as possible!

    How can I do it? We are so limited for storage space... I think the bags full of clothes in her wardrobe is not the best idea!

    I was thinking possibly some of those plastic crates with lids from Bunnings/Targets, then sorting and labelling - Growsuits 4x0, 3x0 etc? For ease of locating?

    But those boxes are so big...

    Help!

    My GF used the clear boxes & they were marked in sizes and she stored them in her garage. I use the space saver bags - you know the ones that you suck all the air out with a vacumn as they shrink down. Only thing is they can get a little heavy to carry, so might not be good being pg.

    I'd go with those space bags that you can suck the air out of, Rhi is right though, they can get heavy but you can buy them in different sizes so maybe get the medium sized ones so that are not too bad to move around

    I was thinking about those space saver bags - where can I get them from? Are they expensive?

    DH is planning on building a storage shed/garage type thing outside, if the clothes were in the plastic boxes do you think they'd be waterproof/safe??

    Decisions, decisions... thanks for your help ladies!

    You can get those vacc space saver bags from ebay.

    I am planning on getting some and storing DD clothes in them then popping them into one of those plastic tub things.

    the vacc bags dont do so well with cats. watch for points, because they will re-inflate if they touch anything sharp
