Update wiped out library

Updated the app last go-round and it reverted from my paid library to the ‘lite’ version - only retained the first 5 entries in my fabric stash! Very disappointed.

Response from developer

I have been in contact with the reviewer to try to resolve the issue. Something odd has occurred with iCloud back up for them which was outside my control.

Works great

If you want a basic app to keep track of your patterns, this app is perfect. It takes a bit of time to upload all of the information of the patterns, but it’s easy to search and find what you need for a project. I wanted an app to keep track of my patterns and reduce buying duplicates. This is going to be a great help. Thanks!

Amazing app!

This is an extremely easy app to use, and the support from the developer is next level. I was using another app to record my patterns etc, but hands down this one is the best value and I couldn’t be happier.

No subscription needed

I needed to organise my pdf patterns before they got out of hand. This app does exactly that and more. Definitely recommend

Ótimo

Gostaria de sugerir a implementação do Histórico de Compras dos tecidos, e também a possibilidade de adicionar as variações de cores disponíveis em estoque de um mesmo tecido num layout exclusivo.

Response from developer

Obrigado pelo seu interesse no meu aplicativo. Vou ver se posso fazer algo sobre o histórico de compras. O uso de tags seria uma maneira de ter todas as variações de cores da mesma tela de tecido em uma lista. Marque cada versão colorida do tecido com uma palavra apropriada. Em seguida, use 'Tags de pesquisa apenas' em tecidos para exibir apenas os tecidos marcados. O recurso de tags é muito poderoso para personalizar o aplicativo para mostrar aos usuários a escolha de tipos específicos de listas.

Struggling

It won’t let me save my fabrics, I enter all the details I have about it and it has the save option greyed out

Response from developer

Sorry you are having trouble. Have you read the instructions website at https://sites.google.com/view/sew-help-me/ There are a few required fields, that if left blank, will not allow you to save. They have an asterisk next to them. If you still need help please email me at sewhelpmeapp@gmail.com There will be a simple explanation. Thousands of people are using the app without issue, including my wife who it was created for ! Kind regards

Love this App

This App is perfect for keeping a handy record of my fabrics and patterns all in one place. I plan to add new purchases as I buy them and I’ll add the rest of my stash gradually. Already, I have found 2 pdf patterns in my emails that I had completely forgotten about. I tried two other apps, but much preferred this one because it doesn’t have lots of features that I’m not going to use. I can see my fabrics, my patterns, my ideas and my projects all in one place , that’s all I need. And best feature of all was the very small one off payment - no subscription, yay 🙌

Thanks for taking the time to review. Much appreciated. Happy Sewing 👍

Great app

I am finding this really useful to keep track of fabric and patterns

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to review. Much appreciated 👍 Happy sewing

Too good to be true

Couldn’t believe my luck with this. I have tried several apps for my sewing craft but none quite suited my craft (involves fabric and patterns but not traditional dress-making, and not quilting). This is fantastic, especially being able to separate Ideas and Projects (Active and Completed) but being able to convert an idea to project really easily. Everything is so easy to input and link up - patterns to fabrics to projects and ideas. Really handy Notes features and Templates to save time. So glad I’ve found this, have deleted my other sewing apps I was using to keep track of my fabric and pattern inventory as this is a complete one stop shop.

Great sewing app

This app suits me and my style of record keeping which in the past I’ve never done!!
Thanks for the hard work in developing and maintaining this app

Love this App!

Great app for fabric and pattern organisation. Great search tools and thoughtful inclusions. I appreciate the frequent updates which often add new and useful features.

Easy to use, does the trick.

Fast way to organize my patterns.

Wish some basic functionality existed

Wish some basic functionality existed like the ability to copy data from one record to another so when recording items purchased at the same time you don’t have to start from scratch for all the details like price or width and gsm, etc.

Response from developer

Thanks for your interest in my app. I’m not sure that I would describe the simultaneous purchase of multiple identical fabrics as a basic functionality 😁 But I will look to try to incorporate your suggestion in future updates. Happy Sewing EDIT Copy paste implementation in v5.6 👍

Great so far with one small thing to add (small for me maybe not developer)

I have spent time playing with every app for collecting my patterns that I can find. I was using sewing Kit HD but developers stopped supporting it about two+ years ago. With close to 1000 patterns I was reluctant to change. Now, I cannot even add photos to the old app unless I take up phone memory in my pictures to hold them first-did a test run. The only downside I have for all other apps-not being able to use the bar code to input pattern info. SKHD was able to do that. The only problem would be if a number had been reused and I had both in my cache. It has happened. I have been at this for over 30 years. If the 10 or so apps I have found that could work-this one is hands down-the easiest, and best. Thanks. ****** Update: finally bought the full version. However, I cannot get the patterns in the light version to update in the full version. I thought this was cloud based and should update-it will not.

Response from developer

There has been an iCloud sync issue recently which I believe has been fixed by Apple. Are you fully up to date on iOS 15.4.1 ? The Lite and full versions use the same database so should sync OK I’ve looked into barcode scanning but as far as I can tell it requires a subscription which is simply not viable for small volume app sales like this one. Kind regards

Even better.

This might be my favorite app of anything on my 3 iPads or iPhone. I’ve used several database and inventory app trying to corral my fabric but this is hands down everything I want. Unlike Cora this app works on all my mobile devices upstairs downstairs or at my kitchen or in store. Spouse is moving his extensive inventory of reproduction and antique vintage fabrics into this. Tags extend the usefulness from seasonal sewing, garment vs quilting vs home dec. The project and idea feature lets me quickly assess if I’m using materials purposely purchased for another project and weigh options, including whether I have enough and where to get more. (I put fabric sku in description) I haven’t spent much time tracking notions, but just wow. Love love it!

Just about Perfect! KUDOS!

This app rocks! It has every feature I want. I’m thrilled.
Best features:
Photos for both patterns and fabrics
The ability to link patterns to fabrics-no more why did I buy this?

Multi-select for fabrics, patterns, tags
A project and idea feature
Voice dictation entry
ICloud SYNC!!!!!

This is the most sensible app I have found. I can store pattern photos direct from camera or photo library, use ALL of my 3iPads or iPhones to update and edit.
I have a backlog of patterns and fabrics to input, but I got my latest apparel fabric and pattern sale haul entered in a couple of hours, from scratch.
I entered every kind of garment, tags for season, occasion (dressy, casual), theme, and fabric type that I’m likely to actually use in very little time.That’s over 40 fabric types. I use an iPad with keyboard to enter. However I found it was quickest to use my iPhone camera to dictate fabric SKUs (why, cuz i might need more) from my Joannes receipt.
Pattern entry is great. A little less helpful. I don’t bother with most of the fields because I HAVE PHOTOs OF THE ENVELOPE!
This is definitely worth my while. I now pray that IOS never updates beyond what the developer is willing to support.

It would be cool to have an export to csv feature. I’m a belt and suspenders person. I always want a backup of my hard-entered data.
Kudos!

Needs notions section

Having all my pattern details together is great. Having my fabric sorted with all it’s data is great. I do wish that one could add in the buttons you had made for that blouse just made for great buttons, the ribbons intended as embellishments and the vintage buttons for a third project. I can ads it in notes but pictures, price, source would be helpful

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to review. I’m not sure I understand the feature request. There is a notions section on the main menu and the notions can be added to patterns and projects. Kind regards

Great organiser

Loving this app, recording modifications to a project, making it easier to repeat. Keeping track of my patterns.

I must admit I’m slack at adding the fabric stash.

Highly recommend for any sewer, so many great features.

The best I’ve seen!

I really like this app! I wish I was a bit more intuitive, but I can’t take any stars away when it has this much functionality. I feel so organized now that I’ve got all my patterns and projects in one place. Thank you!

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. I’m glad you are finding it useful.

Excellent

Great app with so many useful features. Thankyou!
