I actually bought 2 USB sticks last week! One for patterns and one for pictures of bags/purses. And I have a binder with the picture page of as many bag patterns as possible, a work in progress. I started out thinking it would be good to show prospective clients my binder but I think it will be quite usefull for me to remind me of what pattersn I have.

Oh it's a great idea to have pictures of bags for customers too to get an idea of what can be done ☺️

Make sure you don't have too many folders in the root directory, i.e. E: - but create a main folder, for example 'Patterns' and move all folders into that folder. I've lost thousands of files by having all my folders in the root directory. The limit is 99 folders and then you just lose access to it all. It was a hard lesson to learn, and recovering these files is crazy expensive.

Definitely inspired to sort my patterns. I have folders on my iCloud Drive but because I was/am a quilter too I’ve filed them by designer but some of the designers do quits, bags, purses and other craft patterns so they are all lumped in one designer folder. The ‘thumbnail’ pictures are too small for my eyesight so your ideas are much better, I like the printing off the picture and putting in a folder and ace idea. Now just got to implement the changes. One pattern at a time 😊💕

I have my digital patterns saved by designer and bag style on my laptop, I have printed patterns in A4 envelopes, but the document folder idea is better for size. Just need a way to see all my patterns visually, the folder of the front cover picture is great. But I will investigate an app version first. This exercise just might help me get my sewjo back, thanks heaps for the nudge.

Those document folders are such a great idea! I use Manila envelopes right now, but might use those for future patterns.

They do work well especially for those larger patterns that take more room for those that have several sizes I then separate the sizes in envelopes in the folder 🙂

Love this vid... i have patterns organised by brand one my computer. But like you i also print the pattern front and have it in a folder.. but they are small images so they fit on an a6 card, that way i can make notes... i organise by pattern type tgere. So bag's are under accessories. Fyi here looking for your patreon

I printed all mine off my phone and put them in folder in plastic wallets. I was hoping that you give some tips on how to store the pattern templates. I was thinking of buying a laminator but would the seam allowance be compromised?

Hi Tracy. Do you mean plastic templates. I store my smaller ones in the document folders i haven't got many that are bigger than document folders but my ncw I store in a box x

Wheb I print pattern some have templates which are obviously paper. But I’ve just seen one of your videos where you draw round them on acrylic sheets . Hope this makes sense

Yeah it does the acrylic ones I have are only small so I still store those in the document wallets. A few people I know use an A3 portfolio folder for larger templates I think that would work well x
