Pattern Storage

Post by rcj176 »

Where and how do you keep your pattern books? i don't use kits, only books and leaflets. Right now they are sitting upright in an older tapestry sewing basket. Is there a better a solution?

I keep them in an old laptop box if they're leaflet type things. If it's a pattern book I have a shelf for them.

I have an entire shelf dedicated to my cross stitch books and patterns on my bookshelf. For loose sheet patterns such as Mirabilia and Lavender & Lace, I put them in zip-lock bags and in a box then keep them with my stitchery supplies.
