You can view each pattern as a thumbnail with it’s title alongside.I like being able to scroll down a long list. I am currently just putting all ‘notes’ (individual patterns) in one ‘notebook’ called Sewing patterns and tagging them for easy searching. ‘Notebooks’ can then be stacked under a title of Sewing patterns. ‘Notes’ are grouped together to form a ‘notebook’, for instance one ‘notebook’ could be titled Vintage another could be Modern.

So for instance:ġ ‘note’ effectively consists of front and back of pattern envelope plus any notes I’ve made from previous experience. I generally tag mine with: size, bust-size, era, garment style, pattern name/number and exact date of publication if I can find it.

You can tag the patterns making for a brilliant search system.

You can also print straight from your device.

You can share your ‘notes’ on social networks or via message or Email which will be a handy way of me creating a new pinboard on Pinterest or consulting fellow sewists via Twitter or Facebook.

But with the ever growing tower of pattern boxes it is true to say that I often forget what I’ve got.īut last week I discovered Evernote! I cannot claim to be the authority on this app because, by all accounts, it does so much. I love to get them out and look through them every now and then, just for that warm fuzzy feeling. My precious sewing patterns, new and old, are safely filed put away in boxes. I do put things in piles labelled ‘to action’, ‘to file’, ‘to put away’ and I have even been known to put things in boxes but there remains an ongoing issue with finding things! In reality I’m not!Īctually, that’s not entirely fair. In my head, I’m a very organised and methodical person.
