Organizing patterns from magazines
#52
I pull out the article or pattern and put them in sleeve protectors in a notebook. You look much younger than me, so take my advice and get rid of the excess now, or you'll be overwhelmed in 20 years! I saved magazines, then did the pattern tearout thing, and I'll bet you NEVER ONCE in all those years did I use a saved pattern! There's always new ones in the mailbox and in the fabric store. Internet wasn't there when I started to sew, so there's that resource for patterns! So now, our house is crammed with sewing stuff I KNOW I won't live long enough to use and am TRYING to get rid of. Just saying...

[quoteI think I will scan the patterns, but I don't think I can sell the magazines without the templates pull-out included....not sure if scanning the templates would do much good??[/quote]
If you scan the templates, you can print out 3, 4, or 5 sections and tape them back together.

I use the cardboard magazine holders found at Staples. They fit neatly on shelves. I go through them occasionally and if nothing appeals to me any longer I donate them to the guild I belong to - they in turn sell them for 25 cents...so it's a win-win for everyone.

How do you go about organizing patterns and templates from magazines you no longer want?[/quote]
I purchased one of those hand held scanners and plan to scan the parts of magazines I want to keep and then put on DVD or CD thru my PC. That way I can have what I want and get rid of the magazines that take up space.
