Idea To Help New Folks Out

[LTC]

i'm not sure if this will help folks, but i wanted to share something i've done that has helped me a great deal.

when i began collecting patterns, tutorials, etc. i found a nice binder that i'd had hidden away and some page protector sheets.

what i do is when i find a good tutorial online, i usually bookmark it on my web browser. but i also will go ahead and print it out if it is something i may want to try in the near future. then i put the printed pages into the binder in the screen protectors.

this way, you can take the plans with you out to your work area so you'll have them right there in front of you to refer to. i know many of you probably have ipads and tablets and stuff and that's fine. i have one too. i just don't want to take it out to the shop area so the printouts come in handy for that.

anyway, it is a good way to organize your patterns and all. you could even get some of the tabbed dividers so you could organize your binder by type of project, e.g. wallets, bags, keychains, etc.

anyway like i said, it's just an idea i had that's helped me a lot to stay organized. hope it helps someone else.
