I spent two hours yesterday sorting my bookcases and wood cubes that have my magazines in.
My wood cubes are the ones from AC Moore, I live in a cape so my ceilings slant down and I don't have much wall space. My son cut a hole in the wall to the rafter space and built in the cubes. TIP #1. Each cube will hold three of the cardboard magazine holders. I used a coupon on the cube boxex, the ones in the wall are 4 stacked and they are laid sideways. Clear as mud?
Like someone else mentioned my printed patterns are in page protectors and 3 ring binders.
TIP # 2; scrapbooking department sells $1.99? sort of a plastic 12 x 12 and 9 x 11 envelope with closure, I put projects in these. When shopping for additional fabrics to match I take these with me and a photo copy of the pattern and supply list, cuts down on the weight of the book, etc.
