I keep the patterns I think I might want in plastic sleeves in three ring binders, and the templates go in to the plastic sleeves too. Because space is your issue, Jennifer, you might want to scan the patterns and keep the templates in plastic sleeves in a binder (or in file folders in a filing cabinet.) Sounds like your solution, after this issue is solved, is to get your magazines as an e-mag - no space-eating problem and you can print out pattern and templates as you want them.
