To store used sewing patterns, first chose a method of organization that will work for you. You can organize by project, by pattern company, by garment type, or by a combination of these methods. Once you have decided on a method, gather all of your patterns and get rid of any that you no longer want or need. Store the patterns you plan to keep in a cool, dry place. You can use acid-free tissue paper or pattern envelopes to protect them.<\/p>\n
