I just organized mine too. I didn't think to do like you did. I just used the plastic sleeves and a large binders with the tab pages for subjects. I really would like to organize my smaller paper and plastic sleeved patterns. I have them in a little cabinet currently and by category, but they like to slip into the wrong stack when I am searching around in there for a specific pattern. Also, I would like a master list to know all of the titles right off. I am just too busy to take the time to do it.

Fantastic idea.

Thank you for replying to my question. The magazine pagers that I have were all very carefully taken from the magazines so I guess it will work. Now I just have to make that my priority.

This idea is great!!! I have a Staples right close by and I didn't know they have those services available. I need to go thru all of my loose patterns I have printed off and have received so I can follow your wonderful organized idea. I too have many duplicates so I probably will have alot of "throw aways" too. Thank you so much for sharing your great idea.

That looks great...Thanks for sharing....

Great idea I will put favorites together and have it bound, I have bound regular quilt books this way.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Oh, that's just brilliant. I'm really good with magazines. I spend a week or two looking through a magazine and then I cut out the patterns that I want and throw the rest away. Right now I'm putting everything in page protectors in a three ring binder, but I'm outgrowing it.

Interested in your pattern called training wheels.......info please......
Good idea for loose patterns...I have done this same thing with books I have purchased...so much easier with spiral than trying to keep book open while working on the pattern....think I'll do what you did with those loose ones too!

I think I would be WAY too frustrated if I found a pattern that belonged in the collection after I had already had mine bound. I think I like the three-ring binders for patterns for that reason. I use magazine holders (I got several at Target in their dollar section) and manila folders to initially get my patterns organized. It initially takes up room, but once I get a magazine holder full, I then put the patterns in slip covers and into a binder.
