[I originally shared this on the Facebook group on 11th January 2025. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15uZX5V3nb/]
I have a few books 
with patterns in them (Tilly and the Buttons: Stretch!, Cashmerette 1st book, a few Gertie books etc.) I haven’t listed them yet 
But, this is my plan to record them…
Designer: Combo of Book title n author (might be a bit long in words 
). Making sure I use the word “book” as part of the designer name (then without needing to use the Filter function I could type book into the Search bar 
and the app would show me anything with the word “book” in it’s name or in it’s designer name).
E.g. "Tilly and the Buttons: Stretch! book"
Name (of the pattern): use the name in the book along with page number.
[.If there’s no “fun” name then describe it myself]
E.g. "Frankie Baseball T-Shirt, Page XX"
If I had to describe that particular pattern myself then "Raglan Sleeve T-Shirt" or "Baseball T-Shirt".
Then, I’d need to remember to select the correct “Pattern Format” from the drop-down menu as “Book”.
Plus, photos 
can be taken from the book n uploaded into the app for the size Chart, fabric layout diagram, technical line drawing etc. etc. too . If you check the blog or website if the book’s author you can often find clear, crisp photos to download there (if your phone-photography skills aren’t up to scratch ).
Once I’ve created my first record of an individual “Pattern” from a specific book I can then use it as a template for subsequent other patterns from the same book 
… Just “Duplicate” it - and just tweak the details (saving time 
).
