Pattern organization

I like to think that I am a very organized person.  I love it, make lists and check things off, and I almost always know where a particular item can be found in the House.  I keep a calendar for my husband's sake… I never check it and I always remember where and when I have to be somewhere.  But since the sew recording, a task completely meâ € ¦ has overcome organization of pattern collection.


 I started leadership in Microsoft Excel a list of my patterns, hyperlinking each photo and all information required.After I entered was each pattern in a box with all anderen.Ich my patterns have organised recently, in boxes of companies with a box, the pattern contains the I currently tissue for, and that is nice to work for me (and also assure that I get my pattern cut out early!)  


 But Excel… was easy for me to work.It decided that it would open only hyperlinks when it was in the same directory as the photos and then I had to format my hard drive and lost open Office sowieso.Ich downloaded my copy of Excel, but it was not better (worse either just not what I wanted.)I thought about using Flickr, but didn't have the features I wanted and I am also a different photo service to pay for, if I already figures to the pictures for my blog host reluctant!  


I read on a few blogs about a service called EverNote, and decided to check it out.Es turns out is exactly what I wanted it!



You create notes for each pattern - he even has a plugin for chrome, that allows you to save the information directly from the BMV website for current pattern, clip a lot of work.The patterns are grouped into notebooks - I plan to make one for my fabric stash as well.



It has text recognition, and marked and for each note.



It also works with many Smartphones, including my phone PALM Pre.Es is free up to a certain amount of data transferred and $5 per month anders.Ich really hope that this will be the ultimate solution for my problem! check it out if you're like me, drowning under a sea of unsorted pattern.
