I have started tracing my patterns onto brown paper that comes on a roll...
Does anyone have any ideas where I can find tubes for storing these pattern
pieces? I do this so that I save the patterns.
Thank You,
Brenda

This is not what you asked for and I'd be interested to hear if anyone
has seen these myself. But have you checked at Hobby Lobby and such
stores for those super large manilla envelope type things. They're
large enough to put architectual drawings in. The largest ones I've
seen are about 3 feet x 3 feet. Darn, wish I could remember what
these darn things are called.

I think I would try Office Max or Staples where they keep mailing supplies.

Oh, good idea! I checked out Hobby Lobby and they are called artists
portfolios and the largest on their website is 17" x 22"x 2." Around
$5.99 U.S. dollars. But do check out the mailing supplies at the
office stores. They might have just what you need.

I used to roll my patterns, thinking it was saving space in my studio; until
I tried to use one of them again and the thing would not stay unrolled. I
store all my patterns flat in a large artists' bin that I got from an art
supply place. Larger design studios store patterns on garment racks,
grouped together on hooks. It makes more sense to me to keep them flat.
...just mentioning a possible drawback...

If you still want to store them rolled, try the large tubes that carpet is
rolled on. I got a whole bunch from a carpet store. Cheaper than mailing
tubes, far sturdier and much larger...
