I put both the photo and the pattern in one protector sheet in a binder. I had only one binder, but I've had to add two more: quilts, clothing, small projects (pincushions, toys, pillows, etc). I buy the sheet protectors from Quill (great prices) and reuse big binders that have been tossed by others b/c they are very expensive. I've considered covering the binders with fabric so they are prettier and match, but that hasn't happened yet. lol
