Entering our 10th year of online sales, Overstock Fabrics offers curated brands from all over the world at sensible, affordable pricing. We sell and source first-quality designer upholstery and drapery fabrics, as well as wallpaper and trim at discounted overstock prices. www.overstockupholsteryfabric.com provides worldwide access to the resources designers and home decorators need in order to customize and furnish their homes and businesses. We are in a unique position, located in the furniture and fabric capital of the world High Point, North Carolina, of being able to obtain overstock and discontinued patterns at well below wholesale pricing. Some fabric mills set up their overstock inventory only 6 months after pattern introduction. This means that our patterns may have been recently introduced. Other patterns may be older, but timeless. Because of our 40+ year relationships in the fabric industry, we are offered discontinued and overstock patterns on a regular basis. We choose patterns that appeal to all ages and decorative schemes. In a lot of cases, we sell directly from the fabric mill which allows even regular run goods (not overstocks or discontinued patterns) to be sold at reasonable prices with limitless inventory. We currently have over 5,000 patterns in stock. If you can't find what you need and know the pattern's name and brand, we'll try to find it for you. Shop Overstock Fabrics -- we'll do our best to make you happy!

(NOTE: This free trial version is fully functional, but has a maximum limit of 10 Patterns) 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 fabrics. 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!
