Have you ever tried going on a shopping spree for new fabrics (in physical stores or online), only to feel completely lost by not knowing exactly how you would use that nice-looking piece of fabric, and end up purchasing the wrong thing - or purchasing the right thing, but in the wrong quantity - or worse, still: Leaving empty-handed?
If your answer is "yes", then Sewing Patterns will be your indispensable companion in the future. The inspiration in the form of your pattern library is right at your fingertips, wherever you go, and you can easily make sure that you purchase the right fabric in the right quantity - and with the right accessories. The app also helps you find inspiration on how to best make use of your current stash of fabric.
The app lets you gain the perfect overview in a single place, whether your patterns are purchased, found in magazines, or your own creations entirely. You can categorize your patterns based from standard garment types, or create as many of your own categories as you like. You can have your patterns sorted alphabetically, by most recent usage, or in any particular order you like. Each pattern can be associated with as many categories as you wish.
It is entirely up to you how many details you want to register for your individual patterns, but the more details you supply, the more help you will find in the built-in filtering function. When browsing your patterns, only the filled-in information is shown, so you won't have to deal with lots of empy fields.
Using the camera, you can supply your pattern details with pictures of the model, the instructions, or perhaps of the finalized garments. You can add as many pictures and PDF files as you like, both for your categories, your patterns and your fabric.
Use the Filter function if you need to search for a specific pattern in your pattern library, or just need inspiration for your next project, based on a specific piece of fabric.
In all aspects, Sewing Patterns is an indispensable app, for the experienced seamstress and the newcomer alike!
I currently have almost 500 different sewing patterns. I was constantly having to search and forget that I had certain patterns and then I would buy more and then I would find the one I had initially been searching for it and it was just a struggle to keep organized. I stumbled on this one just a few days ago and decided to buy the unlimited version and I love it. I have so far cataloged almost 300 of my patterns and it has been so easy to see what I have and in what sizes and what it looks like and I cannot thank this developer enough for creating this because it seriously has solved such a huge problem in my life. I have been telling everyone I know about it I love it that much. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Exactly what I needed to organize!
d.d.h.h.h.
This is an amazing app for anyone looking to organize their digital pattern stash!! I wish I had found it sooner! It took a minute to get used to the interface and how to set it up, but once you understand what you have to do it’s not hard at all. The ONLY thing that I wish it would do is have the ability to toggle (or scroll or whatever) between multiple photos I’ve entered for a pattern from the main screen… I wish I didn’t have to click on the pattern in order to see the other pics i’ve uploaded but instead just swipe through pattern pics on that category’s icon… but that’s a tiny tiny “issue” and i’m no way makes me love this app less! Worth it!!

Great app

When I saw this app I was thinking this would be awesome. I would have my patterns ( most that are pdf) w me on my phone when shopping for fabrics and stuff and I would have in my tablet to use to follow the instructions. However I had issues and the program would not keep my patterns or transfer correctly between my phone and tablet ( both Apple). I contacted the developer and he had me send files and he figured out the problem and sent out an update. It’s been a couple weeks and my patterns are still there and everything is working as it should. Thank you so much Claus for the time and effort and helpfulness you provided. This is truly a great app for sewing enthusiasts.

Perfect File System

I can’t thank you enough again for this app. I create folders called ideas, knit blouses, children’s, etc. I put sub categories below those. For my idea folder I put pictures of things I see that I want to make. I love how the app is so flexible and what it allows you to do. I tell all my friends about this app.I do have a question. If I load a picture from my phone into the app, can I delete the photo from my phone and will it still be in the app? This would be a great way to free up space on my phone! Also, do you have advice for making the picture smaller so it won’t take up as much room even in the app? THANKS!!
