Does anyone have a good filing system for their templates? I trace the patten onto a clear plastic sheet, then cut it out. When I have all the pieces cut out and fabric cut, I stick the templates in an envelope and stash it somewhere, hoping I'll remember where I stashed it when I want to reuse the templates.

I saw an episode on tv where she found some great decorative tins or something like that and put all her templates patterns ect in them. She first put them in an envelope with the name of the pattern and stored them.

I use a 3-ring binder with a zipper and clear pocket inserts to protect my patterns and templates. It keeps them all in one place, neat, clean & I can see through the pockets for ease of finding what I want. Works great!!
