A few months ago I went on a fabric buying binge. Joann Fabrics had a major sale and all of their Simplicity patterns were $1.99. So of course, I had to buy ALL THE PATTERNS! Shamefully, my pattern stash got thrown in a corner where they sat for weeks and weeks.

I’ve finally decided to organize them in my sewing room. I wasn’t sure how to display them. I thought about buying a file cabinet or storage drawers. But since my pattern stash only consists of about 20 patterns, a storage container really wasn’t necessary.

I found two small decorative crates that I’ve had for years and thought these would be perfect to display my patterns. And it worked! Don’t they look great? Now I can easily access my patterns when I need them. How do you store your patterns?
