I store mine in the form of tracings (on butcher paper) wrapped around bolt
ends from the fabric store, One sheet of paper wraps them up and gets
labelled and then I put a label on the end of the bolt so I can see what
style and size, and made to whose measure on what date.

I onlyu have about 10 commercial patterns, but I have a ton of patterns
I've made myself. I haven't really yet come up with a good way to organize
them, sigh. Most of them are in the form of hip-length mulsins, which I put
in gallon-size ziplocs; I sketch out the pattern on a piece of paper, and
add the date and either my size or what I weighed when I fit it (my weight
yoyos up and down a lot). The paper gets put in the front of the bag.
I've got a box full of them, and it's depressingly hard to find the one I
want when I want it! It would probably be harder, but there's only a dozen
or so basic variations of the form-fitting dresses that I tend to make. I
haven't gone into my corset pattern box for a few years, so there's no
telling what's in there...
