How I organize my muslin mock-ups/ Tutorial

Ever since I started college, I have a growing collection of muslin Mock-ups. I like to keep everything organized and together when I sew. Since I am a grab and go type girl, this works perfect for me. I have all the pattern pieces with the notes I need to sew it on the fashion fabric right at my hands.

Things you will need:

-muslin mock up

-sheet protectors

-hangers

-sewing pattern

 -index cards

Step 1: Put the sewing pattern in a sheet protector.

Step 2:  Put on one side the index card the patten number and on the other side I put the pattern alterations.

Step 3: Last I put the index card in the sheet protector so the pattern number is showing. You can put the sheet protector on the hanger through one of the holes or pin it to the garment and hang it up.

This month I entered a giveaway on sew well blog for her one year blog anniversary and was ecstatic when I found out I  won. I won a beautiful OOP McCall pattern and two yards of black and white lightweight wool.

Pattern Organizing

 I just started back sew this year. Since then it seams like I can not stop buying patterns.I finally found a way to organize my pattern collection so I can find them easily.

First I separated the patterns from the envelopes. Then I put the pattern envelopes in a three ring binder and divided it by style: pants,skirts,dresses.

 Then I put the patterns and instructions in a 6x9 envelopes.

Last I put the envelopes in a pattern box in numerical order.
