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! ### 5/5 — Just about Perfect! KUDOS! *2023-07-04* 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! ### 5/5 — Needs notions section *2023-04-28, version 5.1* 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 ### 5/5 — Great organiser *2023-03-22, version 5.1* 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. ### 5/5 — The best I’ve seen! *2023-03-19, version 5.0* 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! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-11-02, version 4.1* Great app with so many useful features. Thankyou! ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP *2022-06-06, version 4.0* Great app! The only thing I would add is a starch button. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Organized Sewing *2022-06-01, version 3.1* I am more organized than ever before! ### 5/5 — OMFG *2022-03-19, version 3.1* This app is AMAZING. So far I’ve categorised all my stretch fabric and am excited to do the rest and find out more about the app. I want to add projects and things too. Thank you, sew much! ### 5/5 — Perfect for my needs *2021-05-22, version 2.6* I have searched for an app that organises my fabric stash but this does so much more! It keeps all the information, including photos, relating to patterns, companies, projects etc all in one place and all the data is fully editable. It works in landscape and portrait on both iPhone and iPad using the whole screen on both devices, and synchronises easily, I cannot rate it highly enough! ### 5/5 — Well thought out app ! *2021-01-24, version 2.01* The features in this app is exactly what you need if you want to effectively manage all your patterns, stash, ideas, loved blogs and ideation - works cleanly. Much thanks! Such a wealth of detail - glad this appears to be able to back up in the cloud(?) especially if I update my phone and retain all my work. If you are able to do any general enhancements to this very useful app, I would suggest adding a donate button somewhere - more than happy to contribute to keeping this app awesome. Thanks ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update wiped out library *2026-01-20, version 7.9* 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. ### 1/5 — Struggling *2024-09-11, version 5.11* 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 ### 1/5 — I really wanted to like this app *2021-05-11, version 2.5* I really wanted to like this app but the fabric entries I made with my phone wouldn’t show up on my tablet and vice versa. I emailed for assistance without any response. ### 3/5 — Wish some basic functionality existed *2024-01-24, version 5.5* 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. ### 3/5 — Transfer to other device. *2020-12-20, version 1.5* Hi can you tell me how to transfer this app to my phone, thanks ### 3/5 — Good start ! *2020-11-14* Peut être encore amélioré.... Bonne application qui permet de gerer les stocks, les projets et les patrons ensemble. Il manque la possibilité d'exporter les listes de tissus ou de réalisations. Ce serait un plus si l’application permettait de calucler le prix de revient d'un projet, en fonction des fournitures et tissus et patrons choisis. —— Can be further improved .... Good application that allows to manage stocks, projects and patterns together. The possibility of exporting the lists of fabrics or achievements is missing. It would be a plus if the application made it possible to assess the cost price of a project, depending on the supplies and fabrics and patterns chosen. **Developer response:** Merci pour les commentaires. I'll look into the feasibility of exporting lists for printing for future updates. I think trying to price up a project is rather beyond the scope of the app, given the huge number of variables involved in a finished garment. ### 4/5 — Great so far with one small thing to add (small for me maybe not developer) *2023-09-19, version 5.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Great so far with one small thing to add (small for me maybe not developer) *2022-04-14, version 3.1* I have spent time playing with every app for collecting my patterns that I can find.

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. **Developer response:** 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 ### 4/5 — Like it a lot so far! *2021-06-06, version 2.7* So far so good! I love having the patterns and the fabric in the same app, as I’ve been using one that does only the fabric and that doesn’t sync with the cloud AND doesn’t work on the iPad! So this is great. One question - I spent a lot of time loading patterns yesterday. They weren’t there today! I think the glitch is that unless you put a purchase date, the app doesn’t register the pattern in the system even after hitting save. Take a look at that feature - I might be wrong but I couldn’t think of anything else, and that’s what they all (the missing ones) had in common. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Sew help me *2021-02-08, version 2.01* Lots of info held in this app but very frustrating to load the information in as it keeps shutting down. I’ve had to enter data 3-4 times to get it to where I can save the information. Working better on my IPhone but still having trouble on older iPad. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great *2025-11-13, version 7.6* 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! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2025-09-08, version 7.5* 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. ### 5/5 — No subscription needed *2025-04-09, version 6.0* I needed to organise my pdf patterns before they got out of hand. This app does exactly that and more. Definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2025-01-14* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Love this App *2024-06-06, version 5.9* 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 🙌 ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-06-03, version 5.9* I am finding this really useful to keep track of fabric and patterns ### 5/5 — Too good to be true *2024-06-01, version 5.9* 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. ### 5/5 — Great sewing app *2024-04-17, version 5.8* 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 ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2024-04-09, version 5.7* 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. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, does the trick. *2024-04-03, version 5.7* Fast way to organize my patterns. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
