A growing pile

I guess I'm not too bad at organizing. The good thing about working on my pile of fabric for planned project is that I accidentially cleaned the pattern drawer, the place where all my self-made paper copies of patterns go. It is generally a bad place, not only because it is hard to find all the peices for a pattern, but also because the pieces tend to slide back and get stuck behind the drawer. Ugg.

What to do to prevent this is not a secret to anyone. Not even to me. All you need is 3 liter transparent plastic bags, paper clips, a piece of paper, a nice pen and a pair of scissors. Put the pieces from one pattern in a plastic bag, cut out a piece of paper and write the name of the pattern (e.g. red wrap dress Burda issue/year). Fold the edge of the plastic bag and close it with a paper clip with the tag under the clip.

My pile has grown a bit since yesterday, it now contains two dinosaurs, a belt, three dresses and a jacket. (If you wonder who's in the back it is the helmet of Master Chief and the feet of R2D2).

My first craft collaboration with a much loved one is a "window shelf" for our cup-collection. No, there are no windows there yet. They are painted but waiting for the door hinges. A much loved one did all the building while I was satisfied with doing the painting. Don't worry, we have more cups than that! :)
