Can you believe that my fiance' was getting ready to throw these out. Is he nuts? I have confiscated them and in a few hours they are going to house my unruly stash of patterns. Finally I'll be able to get them all organized.
I would love to have those filing cabinets. I'm using a cabinet that my Grandfather -in-law made for my Grandmother -in-law when they first got married. I love it, but I need to be more organized. I've been thinking about using large ziplock bags and great big 3-ring binders some way. I never can get the whole pattern and directions back in the envelope. I can't believe you had the patience to work so hard on the sleeves of your jacket. I think that's why I don't sew for myself anymore.
Julia it was worth all the time because now I can remake that jacket with a moment's notice and know that I can whip it together and probably not have to try it on on the process!
Great idea!

ReplyDeleteGreat jacket. And an even better score. Men, we love them, but they don't always understand.
ReplyDeleteI have been watching our local auction site trying to find some filing cabinets for my patterns, how lucky.
