Sewing Pattern Organization

One of the things I'm always on the lookout for is attractive ways to organize my home. With my house being older, storage space is at a premium, so I need to find ways to attractively store things out in the open.

Yesterday I ran some errands and decided to see what Office Depot had on hand. I got lucky and found a box that I liked and didn't cost a small fortune.

I brought it home and stuck my sewing patterns in it. But another issue I have is knowing what patterns I have when I'm away from home. There have been several times I've stopped into Joann's when they've had pattern sales and didn't buy anything because I wasn't sure if I already owned it.

This morning I came up with the idea to scan the patterns I own and upload them to my photobucket account. Then in the future I can pull up my photobucket app on my phone and see what I already have. I think this will be great for future pattern buying!
