I have her bigger clothes sorted by size and then put in those vacuumed space bags in size order under her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482992 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 16:43:57 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 482992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep a stack of rubbremaid bins in the basement. A bin for each size, and they go back in after they're outgrown because I have two girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482969 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 16:24:40 +0000 pinkcupcake 482969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a lot of larger sizes as gifts; luckily, LO's closet is huge (she has a walk-in closet) so I hung up most of the bigger stuff. Onesies/PJs, I just kept folded in different bins according to size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482964 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 16:21:28 +0000 skibobrown 482964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a little hanging organizer in DD's closet where I store all of the larger sizes of clothes in bins, sorted by size. Once she outgrows a size, I pull everything out of the bin with the next size up. It works great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482937 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 16:01:48 +0000 Boogs 482937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have a ton and we also save all of LO's clothes for now. We use clear plastic totes and mark it by sizes eg 3-6 months or 18-24 months, etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482718 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:40:55 +0000 regberadaisy 482718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kept most in totes. You just have to be diligent about going trough them routinely! I've had her outgrow some before wearing. Oops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482715 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:37:38 +0000 runsyellowlites 482715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get ALL of my little niece's hand-me-downs b/c she's just about exactly 1 years older than P. We get them every few months with my SIL cleans out her stuff.</p> <p>I go through and sort what I know for sure we won't use and then they go back in the bag (which is generally sorted by size/range). She has tons of clothes so finding the space to actually put them up just isn't an option right now &amp; I don't really see the need in investing in containers when I can use the free bag they came in. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482713 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:36:40 +0000 .twist. 482713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: This is what I would suggest also! Do your boxes by size . :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482710 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:33:32 +0000 CarrieLouWho 482710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the same thing happen... I sorted by size but also by looking at the clothes. LO is generally in 3-6 months clothes, but she's fitting into some 9 &amp; 12 month hand me downs - either sizing was off or stuff shrank. I pull down the boxes as soon as things start getting a little snug so we have the next size ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482466 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 08:04:23 +0000 MaisyMay 482466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: That's what I've been doing. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482465 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 08:03:42 +0000 heffalump 482465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: Maybe you can just separate totes and boxes into sizes to make it a little easier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482453 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 07:53:19 +0000 MaisyMay 482453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I wish we had closet space for her, but we are in a one bedroom and she has about a foot of space in our closet where her organizer is. We're doing totes and boxes at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482439 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 07:37:05 +0000 heffalump 482439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have dresses and nicer outfits hanging up. Someone gave me those clothes size organizers that hang in the closet, also a hand me down. Other things are just in a big tote bag in the closet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothes-in-older-sizes-hand-me-downs#post-482413 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 06:41:31 +0000 MaisyMay 482413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been gifted with tons of hand-me-downs, especially in sizes 12m-3T, which is wonderfully generous of friends and family, but our little girl is only 12 days old! I need to sort all of this clothing by size and figure out how to store it.</p> <p>We bought a few clean storage containers, but I've got a feeling we're going to need more!</p> <p>Did you receive lots of hand-me-downs? How did you store them? </p>
