Acutally, if you have a scanner and a CD burner, you can do this at home and then just have the laminating done. Better yet, just use plastic sleeve protectors and place in a 3-ring binder. Easier to add future purchases that way. |

Sewserious, what a great suggestion! I do something like that in a low-tech way. I photocopy front/back of every pattern and put that in a sleeve protector. Add the sleeves and paper to a (3)-ring binder (here in NL it's more than 3 rings!) then you have my sewing notebook. I write down all my ideas on paper and bring the noteook to every fabric store. Saves A LOT by preventing me from buying extra fabric. |

I do the same thing as Katharine, but I've upgraded to scanning in the pattern envelopes and printing copies for my binder. My techie boyfriend thinks I should make a database incorporating the scanned pictures and sewing notes and ideas. I no longer buy duplicate patterns or extra fabric (unless I want to!). |

I do as Katherine does and photocopy the front and the back, arranging the photocopies in three ring binders in somewhat the same format as the pattern companies; Evening Wear, Pants, Tops, and so on. Then I file the patterns by number. |

I also use the same method that Katherine does by using the 3 ring binder. Since I also sew alot of doll clothes for my grand-daughter, I keep a separate binder for doll clothes. It has really helped to avoid make duplicate purchases of the same pattern. |

If you dont have a scanner or access to a photocopier, goto the website where the front and back cover of the pattern are posted as images. Print those for your reference and keep the original package in the plastic sleeves. |
