Susan and Miriam: I may have to try that. Previously, I've been storing patterns in a plastic container that allows them to be on their sides in a row. However, it can be really hard to find the one I want without pulling many out, or just look through and see what I have. I tried putting them in plastic sleeves in a notebook, but that quickly made the notebook far too thick. Hancock's is advertising a sale on pattern holders, so I'll see what theirs look like this week.

Maiden Princess: Everyone has asked if I'm excited about going to college... and I really have mixed feelings. I'm probably more nervous, though I know things will work out fine. I just have a hard time thinking of leaving home. My wish was to stay home after high school and continue studying from home, but for various reasons and a desire to honor my father's wishes, I will be going to a college 4 1/2 hours from home. It is a Christian college (Belhaven College) and I'll be majoring in Theater Ministry. I pray that everything will work out for God's glory.

Alexis: Thanks for the advice! It's hard to know what to bring when I've never been to college before, but I guess this first semester will teach me what I really need and what I don't!

Being a third year college student I thought I would let you know that at the end of the semester you always come home with more than you bring lol. That being said I'm trying to pack as minimal stuff as possible.

Hi Anna,

So, you leave in three weeks to go to college? Are you excited or nervous? I graduated this year as well but have decided not to pursue more formal schooling. however, I do understand that God leads many different people in various directions and that they all will glorify Him if we let them.

I was just wondering how far away from home you'll be and what you're going for. I hope it all turns out well for you and that you will be able to stand out for Christ wherever you go...as we all should no matter where are paths take us.

Many Good Wishes,
Maiden Princess

My grandmother does the drawers too for organizing her patterns, and she has them organized in size order, and then in catagory order (dresses, skirts, shirts, etc.) to the extent that is possible (she has patterns ranging over 40 years of time and pattern sizes have changed a lot in those years).

I love organizing with plastic containers too! And that is how I organize my patterns. I bought one of those large, two-drawer plastic storage containers and it fits patterns perfectly. The drawers are the width of two pattern envelopes on their sides, facing forward (same orientation as in the pattern drawers at a fabric store). Only problem is, I was gifted approximately one zillion patterns last winter, and now I need several more of those drawer sets!
