Organization -- it's my bane and my liberator! Once I have things organized, it's delightful to have them at my fingertips. But the hard part is finding a convenient and practical storage solution that actually works. And then there's the issue of aesthetics -- those rolling drawer towers are handy, but they're not exactly easy on the eyes!
My burgeoning collection of self-drafted patterns (mostly aprons for Etsy) needed a permanent home; this is what Tuesday Morning had to offer:
With hanging file folders, pattern pieces are easy to retrieve and easy to put away as soon as they've been cut out. I've also designated a folder for my "current project," so that I have a place to stash the pattern pieces from whatever garment I happen to be working on. I still have to figure out a use for that handy little "pocket" on the front.
I think my patterns will enjoy residing in their new nifty and stylish home, rather than on the floor, under a pile of fabric, stuffed into a drawer... Well, you get the idea!
What a great idea! I'm going to have to loook into getting something like that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous idea!!! :)

That is a perfect solution for self-drafted/traced patterns, and even just patterns in general that have been used! Plenty of room for them to spread out, but extremely easy to find! Wonderful!
