Oh, organizing pattern collections—now that’s a whole adventure on its own, especially when you’re trying to keep things tidy between diaper changes and diaper laundry! For me, it’s a mix of digital and physical because, let’s be honest, some patterns just feel better on paper. I keep printed patterns in clear plastic sleeves in binders, sorted by project type—like scarves in one binder, baby stuff in another, and those “someday” fancy projects tucked away in their own special spot. For digital patterns, I set up folders on my computer labeled by category and sometimes even by designer if I’m feeling fancy. And the best trick? Adding sticky tabs or color-coded stickers for quick grabs when you’re in that “I just need something easy and fast” mood. It’s not perfect, and sometimes a pattern still goes on an unexpected wander, but it’s about making it work for you—and for the moments when you get to sneak in a little stitching between all the chaos!
