So&#8230; even though I had originally thought that the beauty of a virtual tour would be that I wouldn&#8217;t have to clean up, that is exactly what I worked on all day yesterday!<\/p>\n<p>I am always trying to be organized as I work, but it is a constant struggle.  I make parts of the doll and then, a month later can&#8217;t figure out which of my patterns I used.  As I work on the dolls, paper pattern pieces are always disappearing- where did this disappearing paper come from anyway???  When I sew the cloth pieces together and stuff them, they can change shape dramatically, so trying to match paper to 3-d form usually doesn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>I have made a lot of baby steps towards being organized with the patterns.  I have all my doll pattern pieces numbered and organized in a notebook in plastic sleeves.  I mark the pieces as I cut them out- but that part of the fabric ends up on the inside so that doesn&#8217;t help.  I have tried marking the dolls on the bodies, but it seems like messing them up.<br \/>\nThis is my latest idea-<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" border=\"0\" alt=\"10:19:orgsystem.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/archives\/10:19:orgsystem.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I got these file sleeves at Staples.  I put every piece of pattern paper and muslin mock-up into it.  I trace the body pattern pieces onto a new paper and put that in also.  I could use the outside to make notes, but haven&#8217;t gotten there yet.  I use it as a way of cleaning as I go along&#8230; just put everything in the sleeve and then when it turns out something I need is lost, well, I know where to look!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been working on the photo gallery for my virtual open studio, but after I took the first set of pictures, I realised you couldn&#8217;t really see much except piles of stuff (ADD decorating).
