Craft and making

Project planners, stash inventories and machine logs — for quilting, sewing, printing, modelling and selling what you make.

A maker's notes are worth more than any tutorial, because they are about your materials, your machine and your hands. These sheets are built to hold that: what you used, what you set it to and what came out. None of them print a pattern or a setting, because copying somebody else's is the habit a logbook exists to replace.

Sheets in Craft and making

Quilt Project Planner

Hold one quilt's plan, fabric and progress on a single page, so the piecing maths and the yardage are not on the back of an envelope that gets thrown out.

CM-01 2 pages

Sewing Project Planner

Record the alterations you made to a pattern, so the next garment from it starts from a fitted version instead of the envelope.

CM-02 2 pages

Yarn and Fabric Stash Inventory

Get the ball band's detail onto paper before the band is lost, especially the dye lot, which exists nowhere else once it is gone.

CM-03 1 page

3D Print Log

Record the settings that produced each print, so a good result can be repeated and a failed one diagnosed instead of guessed at.

CM-04 1 page

LEGO and Model Set Inventory

List sets by number, which is the only thing anyone can actually search on, and record whether the box and instructions are still with them.

CM-05 1 page

Artwork Catalogue and Sales Record

Keep a catalogue of finished work and where it went, which is the record galleries, insurers and tax authorities ask for and working artists rarely have.

CM-06 1 page

Craft Project Log

Record the things a finished object cannot tell you later: which dye lot, which hook you really used, and how much was left over.

CM-07 1 page

Candle and Soap Batch Record

Make a batch traceable, so a good one can be repeated and a bad one can be traced back to what went into it.

CM-08 2 pages

Card Making and Stock Sheet

Know which designs actually sell and what each one takes to make, instead of rebuilding both from memory the night before the next craft fair.

CM-09 2 pages

Craft Room Supply Inventory

Stop buying a third bottle of the same glue while the project that needed a particular blade sits waiting, by counting the cupboard once and keeping it current.

CM-10 1 page

Crochet Pattern and Hook Record

Finish a project the size it was meant to be, and be able to repeat it, because the hook that met tension and every change you made are written down rather than remembered.

CM-11 1 page

Cross Stitch Progress Sheet

Pick a long piece back up without re-counting from the centre, and know how many skeins a colour actually took before you run out of the dye lot.

CM-12 2 pages

Knitting Project and Yarn Record

Get a garment that fits the person it was knitted for, and be able to knit the same thing again, because the needles and the alterations are on paper.

CM-13 1 page

Miniature and Diorama Build Log

Repeat a paint scheme across a unit or a second model months later, without guessing which brown it was or how the metal was shaded.

CM-14 1 page

Scrapbook and Album Plan Sheet

See the whole album before anything is glued down, so the gaps and the repetitions show up while they can still be fixed.

CM-15 1 page
