Organizing Craft Patterns

I download most of my patterns off the internet and put them into organized folders. I also have several large binders with lots of page protectors which have also been organized in the same way as my online folders.

As I collect the free patterns from stores or wherever or any patterns from books that I like, I scan them into the computer. As I need a pattern, I print it out.

After printing it, I rename the online file to notate that it has been printed. When I'm finished with it I put it into a page protector in a binder. This way if I want to make the item again, I don't have to reprint it.
