I store my patterns in sheet protectors and in 3-ring binders with sheet tabs listing the types of patterns they are, Example: Angel, Baby, Floral, Star, Tumbling Blocks etc. I list all of the different types of patterns on the spine of each binder so at a glance I know what patterns are in each binder. I like being organized that way so you aren’t wasting time looking in each binder for a particular pattern. As they say “Organized people are just too lazy to get up and look for it”. Hope this helps.
