You can check out my video on Instagram where I show how I keep my PDF pattern printouts organized. Here are some of the items I use to keep my patterns organized. None of these links are affiliate links and you can find them at almost any office supply store.
3 ring binder - for storing patterns
Mini binder - for half-sheet paper patterns
Mini page protectors - for half-sheet paper patterns
Full-size sheet protectors - for full-size paper patterns
Binder zipper pockets - for keeping bulkier templates and rulers organized
Day 17 - Staying Organized when working on multiple patterns
If you're a quilter, you're probably also a serial project starter and routinely work on multiple projects at the same time. You can see how I keep everything straight in my Instagram video. Download the free PDF project sheets I showed in my video below.
Happy organizing!
