I store all my fabric and sewing patterns in a plastic storage container. I bought it in Singapore about two years ago from a big supermarket called 'Giant'. This sits right under my drafting table.
I store my sewing patterns in one of the drawers. I do not own as many sewing patterns as my other fellow sewing enthusiasts! LOL!
As you can see, I put my patterns in a see through envelope. This way I can see the picture on the envelope and the pattern number.
When I ran out of the nicer looking envelopes, I resort to using zip lock bags.....
At the end of the day, all that matters is that I can see the pattern number & it's neat and tidy.
Thanks for coming by!

Umapreve, what an awesome way to organize your patterns! If I didn't have such a huge stash I would use your method (as you know instead I use the binder/manilla folder method). Thanks for chiming in with your suggestion for how I should store my cut out and used patterns. With all of the info, I was able to solve that problem:) BTW, thanks for the sweet "shout-out". You too are one talented lady (wink)!
ReplyDeleteThat's really neat, I like how you organize things. Do you know people pay other people to organize their stuff - you have so many money making talents! Go Uma :D
ReplyDeleteI was just going to do hanging file folders in a vintage file cabinet or at least large file boxes and manila dividers instead of trying to fit my patterns back in their envelopes. I like the use of plastic protectors in your post. I may go that direction...
