Winners and Thank you!

Congratulations to the two winners of my pattern giveaway!
For the 8-16 size patterns the winner is Cheryl, who said
All I have to say is oh, dear! If you have too many patterns, I worry for myself. I organize my patterns similarly though, in the plastic drawers. Each drawer is then sorted by type (top, dress, pants, skirt, children's, men's, home decor) I also have one for costumes (love those!) sorted by style and type. Since the Vogues won't fit into these drawers, they have there own box. BWOF are just on a shelf for now, but I have copied all the line drawings into a folder for easy flipping. Most of my patterns have also been scanned into the computer and sorted so I can easily flip through them to find what I have.
For the 12/14-20 size patterns the winner is Shiny Green Penny, who said
I just have boxes on a shelving unit - a box of kids patterns, a box of home dec/misc and my women's patterns are by type - tops, bottoms, jackets. I put all my pattern envelopes and pieces into plastic page protectors (the kind you insert into a binder) and therefore eliminating the need to jam them back into the envelope. Nothing fancy, but it works.

Ladies, please shoot me an email at katiedeshazer (at) hotmail (dot) com with your address and I'll get these posted for you.  I can't wait to see what you make from them!  I wish I could have given them to all of you!

I really think I was the real winner here, since I got some great organization tips out of the deal.  I definitely need to find some sort of indexing system that will work for me.  Thanks to everyone who played along!

I also want to thank Sister, for nominating me for the Sunshine Award!  We doctor-sewists got to stick together!

Stay tuned for some actual sewing.  The final reveal of the EKG jeans is coming up tomorrow!
