I've been a bullet journal user for about 4 years now and I found my style to be super basic, I don't use colors or markers, just my trusted Lamy safari fountain pen. You can simply write everything on a sheet of paper and add whatever you need, or write everything down in a notebook or bullet journal, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to create a printable for a streamlined look and ease of use. Sewing project planner printable vs a notebook or Bullet journal If I fall between sizes I can track which sizes I've traced to keep an eye on if my size changes since I last made the patternį i n i s h e d g a r m e n t m e a s u r e m e n t s where I can write down everything I need to actually sew the patternī o d y m e a s u r e m e n t s + d a t e I decided to create a sewing planner template that includes a few set categories and room for notes and details that fall outside these sections. A link or website name where you found that super helpful tutorial you used.The date you started or when you finished.Stitch length or other sewing machine settings.The order of construction so you don't have to check the instruction booklet.The pattern #hashtag for sharing on Instagram. Name and designer of the sewing pattern.The color number of the thread you used.Figure out how much ease the pattern has and compare it to garments you already own and love. Finished garment measurements and ease.How much length did you add to the sleeve? or how much you pinched out of the back panel? Body measurements + the date you took those measurements because your sizes probably will fluctuate over time.Here are some of the possible sections you could add to your project planner. There are so many details you could track, but in the end, only trial and error will lead you to a system that works for you. My main wish was to be able to set a project aside for a while and confidently pick up where I left off. I currently don't need to track each and every detail, but I do want to keep my sewing projects organized. We would use a system to track pattern alterations, versions, construction order, material cost, production time and all the materials needed for the project. Something I used to do when I still designed and produced small collections. So I decided to be more diligent and track my pattern edits in a pattern card/project planner / sewing journal mash-up. It's annoying because I could get out a measuring tape and figure most things out, but some edits are quite subtle and hard to backtrack from a garment that's been worn and washed. Have you eve made changes to your sewing pattern, but forgot exactly what you did? *Raises hand*.I often put away a project for weeks, sometimes months and forget whether or not I've added those 2 extra centimeters to the sleeve, or I want to remake a wardrobe staple I made a year ago and can't find the edits I've made.
