Sewing Organization (Part 1)

I like patterns...I like to have a lot of patterns. Some of them I have made up and others are still patiently waiting for their turn. When I shared the pictures of my new sewing space, my patterns could been seen in neat little plastic totes. Looks good right?

Yeah weeeell..... here is the reality

....and this really isn't as bad as things usually get.

When I'm looking for a pattern or I am trying to decide which pattern to use, I make a big mess and it's never contained to my sewing space. No. I like to spread the love and spread it all over the family room coffee table. And sofa. And couch. And floor.

So,while perusing Pinterest yet again for inspiration... it occurred to me, " Why don't I have a board for my patterns?". Yeah, why don't I? Well, now I do. You can go see it here.

I couldn't find all my patterns and so I had to upload some of them myself. It is not quite finished but I am well on my way.  I would like to go back and mark each pattern pin and indicate whether or not I have made it or not. That should help me bust this pattern stash to bits! Kapooow!

 The entire project may have taken some time to do but was worth it. I can now go to this board and view all of my patterns at once. During the process, I was also able to evaluate what I had in  my collection and whether I needed it or not. I have a few that I would like to share with you. They are all uncut patterns and in great condition. I just can't see myself making them anytime soon.
