Hi, I am Greta. I kind of blog over at http://gretam.wordpress.com. I haven’t been
that good in keeping up
lately. Too much sewing going on over
here!! I am here today to share with you how I store my pdf patterns.
I started printing mine all out as I
got them and was paper clipping them and started piling them up and up and
up. I decided I needed a better
way. This is what I ended up with and
still use today. It helps me find a
specific dress, pants, skirt, jammies, toys, household item pattern with
ease.
You see this is how they fit..very
easily in the plastic sleeves that you can even sometimes find at the dollar
store! It is great because I can store
the pattern and the pattern pieces all in one place. I never have lost a single
piece this
way.
I fold them and they flatten out
easily enough to place on top of the fabric with my fabric weights to cut the
pieces.
See…hardly any fold marks really left
and I didn't even smooth it out for this picture!
Yes I do love CKC patterns. Can you tell? I have most of them and I can’t wait for
more to come out! It has become quite the collection and my
daughters are looking so lovely wearing each and every one of them!

See..aren’t these patterns
amazing?!?! The girls get compliments
every single time we go out and they are wearing something that I made them
with my own hands. It truly warms my
heart when people make compliments on their outfits and they say, “My Mom made
this for me!”
Anyway, I got a little off track
there. Here are a few of my other
binders too. I just stick a piece of
paper or label on them with what is in each folder. Easy peasy, right?!
This is what I do..so if you have
other ideas please share them in the comment section so we can all find new
ways to store our pdf patterns.
Thanks for having me!
Greta
