When I buy a doll clothes pattern from a big name company with tissue patterns, I like to cut out the patterns and place the patterns for each garment in a separate stationery envelope. I label the envelope with the name of the garment and the pattern number. I put all the small envelopes back in the original larger envelope and file it with my patterns. I use this method for keeping track of patterns copied from books of patterns. I write the name of the book and the garment on each small envelope. I put all the pattern envelopes from one book in a larger envelope, write the name of the book on it and file it in a box with my tissue paper patterns. I am now using the envelope system for keeping track of my own patterns.
