Don’t buy it

It would be great if it worked but has not worked for 5 years

Response from developer

Have you reached out for help during those 5 years? I would have been happy to assist. Best regards, Claus

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!!

Sorry for the late reply - but thank you for your support! Best regards, Claus

Suggested feature (or improvement)

I have really enjoyed using this app. I use it when I’m shopping to avoid duplicate purchases or reference fabric type/amount.

A problem I’m having is once I put in the information including pattern pictures I can’t at a later date update the information to include a picture of the fabric used. I will input the update but the new picture doesn’t show. I have tried on numerous occasions without success. Otherwise I really like this app. Very useful (although limited per above comment)

Thank you for your review. The inability to input later pictures sounds strange. Could you contact me at app_developer@krogholm-it.dk, so I can help you troubleshoot? Best regards, Claus

Has been a joy to use

I have over 2000 sewing patterns and because that is too many to remember I sometimes bought duplicates. Now I am able to easily check before buying and quickly add a new purchase. It even helps with fabric shopping. If I see a fabric I love, I can quickly search for an appropriate pattern and purchase the correct amount of fabric. The only feature I wish was added was the ability to download a csv file of all my patterns as my friends and I share our patterns and can’t always look over each other’s shoulder to check if someone has a pattern we could use.

Thank you so much for your kind review - it is a joy to learn the app is bringing you this value, because that is exactly what it was built for! I will put your suggestion about CSV export on my list for potential future improvements. Best regards, Claus

Exactly what I needed to organize!

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!!

Fantastic organization for sewing patterns

I’ve been using this app for 3 years and love it. All my pattern info is accessible for when I’m shopping, planning and sewing. I love it.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review - I am glad you like the app! Best regards, Claus

Great for tracking pattern stash

This app is great for keeping track of my sewing patterns. I take a photo of the front and back and record the number and brand name. I can create my own categories and search by number, size, brand, or whatever I’ve recorded on each pattern page. Recommended.

The best

I’ve been using this app now for over 3 years and I love it have all my patterns instantly available, well organized, and an extremely easy app to use and set up.

Update: 12/10/24: Good App; Could Use New Features (#GotThem)

This application does what it is supposed to do; however, it would become a great application (for me), if it would implement new features to minimize the input time (especially when you are inputting OVER 1,000 patterns). One feature that would assist in minimizing the input time is to add a drag and drop feature. When you add a new pattern, it’s pictures and sometimes its chosen fabric, you have to search through your album folder, select one photo at a time, add that photo; and then you will have to repeat the process until you add ALL the photos you would like to add to that ONE pattern. It would be great to just open your photo app and this app, drag and drop your pictures into this app, and continue with filling in the “blanks.” It would even be great to have the ability to search your photo album using the search button and selecting more than one pattern at one time; then, you can continue filling in the blanks. The final feature that would make this pattern application wonderful/perfect is to have a fabric section independent from the pattern section. Many sewers purchase many pieces of fabrics, and it would be wonderful/great to catalogue those pieces of fabric into this application. Moreover, it would be great/terrific to have the ability to search the fabric and identify which pattern (if applicable) that fabric was chosen. With these two changes, although I know they are not minor-and we may probably never have these features added-it would make this pattern application perfect; just as long as it isn’t removed from the application store. Thanks for creating a good product. On today, December 10, 2024, I opened my tablet, performed my monthly updates, and saw that this application has fulfilled one of my “possibly impossible” suggestions: SELECTING MORE THAN ONE PICTURE AT A TIME!! AND you can search your photo album within this application as though you are actually in the photo app. I spit my tea out while trying to scream, performed my update, and I will commence to complete the tedious task of adding the remaining patterns including the new ones that were purchased using this MAGNIFICENT update; now, Mr. Pedersen, I’m patiently waiting on the independent fabric tab. (LOL). THANK YOU for this update!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS PATTERN APP EVEN MORE!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely love this app

I use this app for pattern organization and as an avid sewist I couldn’t sew now without this app! . I take notes of all my pattern adjustments and amounts of fabric I use it keeps me and my many patterns organized. Very handy to have on my phone when I’m shopping. Absolutely recommend it!

I love using this app

I love using this app, but it is time consuming. I wish you could just scan the barcode and everything is inputted for you. I know that perfect world doesn’t exist yet. I’m so grateful that finally I have somewhere to store all of my patterns and I can take it them with me. I wish there was a place I could log the patterns I would like to purchase in the future, but for now I’ll just continue to store them in my notes. I highly recommend this app.

Love this app!

This app has been such a valuable asset for reviewing my pattern collection. I’d be lost without it. Easy to use with many features.
So many thanks.

Excellent support

I have been using this app for years. I love it because of the simplicity. I don’t like all the extra stuff the other apps add; it’s like going to a restaurant and being given 100 choices—it’s just too much.

Recently the app stopped working and would close within a minute of opening. I emailed the developer, Klaus, who told me to disable cloud syncing. Lo and behold, it worked! I am so happy and will support this lovely dev’s other apps as I also knit. Thank you Klaus!

Response from developer

You’re very welcome! I will continue looking for the cause as to why the synchronization didn’t work in your case. Best regards, Claus

Useful!

This app is so easy to use and easy to add your patterns, whether pdf or paper. It's so useful to have all my patterns listed so when I'm looking for something specific I can search for it either by name or category. Helps with planning what to sew next and to have all yardage and fabric needs and instructions all in one place. Well worth the one time payment of only a few dollars.

Great job

I’ve been having a wonderful time putting in the pattern in. What a great idea. Now my problem, I have reached pattern # 421 an I can no take pictures. I can enter all the other information. I’ve gone to settings & have 250 GB of storage. It’s an iPhone. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Also how do I engage family sharing? I don’t see it in settings.
Am updating my review. If I could give this a 10star, I would. The developer contacted me promptly. He is looking into my problem with my iPhone. I entered all the rest (575) patterns on my iPad. Tedious but worth while. Now I have all my patterns at my fingertips when I go shopping for fabric. Wonderful app!

Great App!

I love the fact that this isn’t a subscription, and it does everything I need. Until the Fabric version comes out I’ve managed to find a way to put that on there too!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your review! I still don’t know exactly when the Fabric version will be out, but great to hear you are managing in the mean time. Best regards, Claus

Game changer!

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.

Seeing Patterns App bought but won’t open

My iPhone6 has operating system 12.4 but won’t open. Need help. Margaret in Australia

Response from developer

I am sorry to hear that. If you can contact me at app_developer@krogholm-it.dk, I will do what I can to help troubleshoot the issue. Best regards, Claus

Love it!

This app is great! Helps me remember what patterns I have and gives me one place to store photos of all the versions of that pattern I have made. It is also great for inspiration and keeping track of patterns you are thinking of making/purchasing. Thank you for making such a useful tool!!
