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...
How about putting a photo of the finished garment in the front of the
zip lock bag to help you see what you are looking for? Would that
speed the process?
