of your patterns?

I have a few hundred patterns. (Yikes!) They're all in cardboard pattern boxes covered in pretty fabric. I put a sticker on them with MFR and number range. For example "B 2145-2290" has all my Butterick patterns in that range. The boxes sit on the tops of the bookcases that line my sewing room. I have separate boxes for costume/historical, craft, and 'mundane' clothing.

I started when I only had one box worth, so it hasn't been a big effort to keep it up, covering new boxes and all. There's no index, but if I need to know if I have a certain number, it's easy to grab the right box and look.
