Pop your pattern, and all of it's bits inside a zip-lock bag. I also will throw in anything else that has helped me to complete a project, (such as printed out tutorials) inside the bag.
After I have completed tracing out all of the bits, I place the original pattern sheet back inside the original envelope, so as not to lose it. The other pieces get thrown back in the zip-lock bag as we go - safe and sound!

That is a really, really fabulous idea! I'm going to have to go out and get me some zip lock baggies - what size do you use? I'm also intrigued as to where you store your patterns once neatly in their bags - I use a large shoe box (Colorado ones are great).

Great idea. I love it. I do it.
Measure twice, cut once!
ReplyDeleteMy Dad made wooden boxes for my Mum that fit patterns in perfectly and can stack up on one another. Great space saving. :)
