Sewing pattern: Storing your PDF patterns

Plus, you have more options for independent designers. The only issue is – how to store them once you’ve printed them? Paper patterns are bulkier than tissue patterns so stuffing them into an envelope won’t always work. Beth from Sew DIY has a great video showing her system for storing her PDF patterns so she can use them again and again.
