Maybe I should copy all patterns I want to use just to not open pattern sheets over and over? My size won't change that much so I think it's a good idea. I got some sheet protectors while ago to store them in a binder. Yesterday I looked through some of my pattern magazines and I prepared good amount of them by writing pattern name, issue, what garment it is, size and a technical drawing of finished piece with a marker. I'll organize my patterns later on chronologically, separated with dividers to keep every type easy to find, eg. all skirts together.
I consider getting a new sewing machine. It will be a backup as my current one is good and very sturdy, but I need buttonholes, blind hem stitch (it takes so long by hand!) and overlock stitch for knits. Pretty decorative stitches would be good to have too. I'd like to use them with light, summer clothes.
