    Question Pattern storage?

    How do you store/organize your patterns? Right now I have mine in a couple of the clear rectangular totes (the ones that stand upright--Dee introduced me to those), but I've now outgrown 2 of them. I've considered using a filing cabinet, but I really don't want to purchase one right now.

    So how do you organize them?

    I had mine in one of those sterlite containers with drawers and on wheels. Then I decided to use that cabinet for my mail and paper clutter, so now all my patterns are on top of the bar in the family room. I need to buy another container.

    Chelle, I have been searching for what I use online and can't find them anywhere. I have had these for years and bought them at JoAnn's. I think they were around $2-$4 each.

    You can see on the front of the box there are lines to actually write the pattern numbers and sizes you have in there. I hav so many, I just put a category at the top. LOL

    I keep mine in clear rubbermaid bin. Safe from moisture if I have to move them to the basement for storage.
