![]() Took me a bit of tinkering before I figured out how to make everything happy, but the learning curve was not a rough one. The GREAT thing about OneNote is that you can access it easily at the website, and there it is! You can also work on OneNote on your computer and upload it to the site online. You can do screenshots of patterns to save ideas, for example, and add them to a folder about that pattern and fabric specs, etc. Each folder can hold links to tutes, fabric ideas, notes on sewing experience, sizing and outcomes, etc. So, maybe you’d have a women’s sewing topic (notebook) with a number of sub-heads (folders). Think about studying a subject and taking classes for which you’d keep separate notebooks. This is free and super valuable once you get the hang of it. This app is good on computers and devices (at least OS and iOS and I believe Windows since it’s a Microsoft app). It’s full-functioned and friendly to images as well as annotations and sorting into folders. I’d second the suggestion to use OneNote. So, Excel is worth serious consideration even though it still feels formidable to my limited consciousness. One GREAT thing about the Microsoft apps, and I am admittedly an Apple aficionado, is a Microsoft 365 subscription that enables one to save like a terabyte of data to the MS cloud and to access all files from anywhere at any time. I’d be happy to get on the Excel learning curve if it would assist in creating a pattern or fabric file that’s searchable and mobile. Internet Time is not the same as sewing time in my mind although I’ve adapted happily to indie patterns in PDF format and think nothing of paying for these while I balk at paying full price for a major pattern company pattern unless it’s on sale for something like 5/$5. The two were apparently blended into the current Excel. When I think of Excel, I think of numbers, and I have dyscalculia, so there’s the mental block! Waaaaay back in the day, there was Excel and there was also a database program. If anyone can offer suggestions for simple totes or templates for using Excel, I’d value help. The program/app now is far more robust and has exceeded my own limited capacities. Odd to think I used to teach it to pre-service teachers around 2002. Wish, wish, wish that my brain could process how-to with Excel. ![]()
