Baby Bunting

I made this bunting partly in class, almost two weeks ago, and partly at home. I started it in class because I was afraid of it. By starting it there I can focus better and if I run into issues there is usually somebody who can help me.

I used a Butterick pattern that is designated "very easy". I think this means very easy for an experienced sewer. It was reasonably easy for me, but I had to take time on the zipper and I had a time getting the cuff edges lined up right. As usual, there were places in the directions where I wasn't quite sure what was meant but I did finally work it out. It's good to remember that "very easy" and "very quick" are two different things, also.

Organizing patterns

I have struggled with how to organize my patterns. Where to store them, how to store them, so I can find what I want easily. Then an idea came to me. I have a couple of boxes I bought from Costco that originally contained greeting cards. They were organized by type of card, with dividers. I thought maybe patterns would fit in the space. I was right.

The box. I turned around the dividers to label them with the type pattern:

One box is clearly not enough, as I have many other patterns. My second box still contains greeting cards. So now I am thinking of storing them somewhere else... In the meantime at least some of them are organized.
