Appreciation post: My $80 fabric swatch binder was a total game changer

I always thought those big swatch books were a waste of cash for a small home studio. Bought one last month to organize my silk and linen samples. Now my design process is twice as fast because I can actually see everything I own. What's one tool that seriously upped your design workflow?

Always figured those were for big studios. Seeing how it sped things up for you makes me reconsider.

Yeah it's funny how that works, ward.jamie. I had the same thought until a buddy in a three-person shop showed me his setup. Totally changed my mind on what you actually need.

My old boss wasted thousands on gear that just slowed us down.
