Sewing Patterns vs Craft MadeBy

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!

Craft MadeBy is a quiet home for people who make things by hand — knitting and crochet, sewing and textiles, embroidery and needlework, clay and ceramics, jewelry and beading, and every craft in between. Not a feed that forgets by morning. A record that keeps. RECORD THE PROCESS Document a piece step by step: photos, materials, tools, costs in your own currency, and the hours behind it. Start the stopwatch when you sit down and it counts while you work — so the finished thing carries its whole story, not just a final photo. COUNT ROWS WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE The row counter belongs to the step you are on, not to a scrap of paper that falls behind the sofa. Add a second counter for raglan increases or a pattern repeat and it keeps its own tally beside the first. Counting mode goes full-screen and dark: tap anywhere to count, or use the volume keys, so the phone can sit in your lap and never be looked at. Put the counter on your home screen and count without opening the app at all. YOUR CRAFT, YOUR CORNER Choose the craft you work in and the app takes its character from it, with a hand-drawn mascot for company. Play the daily round — a question about your craft, a piece of history you probably did not know, a tip worth keeping. Answer well and you earn points. Come back days in a row and the streak pays a bonus. DRESS THE PART Spend those points in the wardrobe. Forty hats across eight collections — cozy, seasonal, gloriously silly, antiquity, and a premium shelf — each one dyeable, each one sitting exactly where you set it with the height gauge. Twenty-six cloths for the card your work is laid on. Small things. Yours. GET CERTIFIED HANDMADE Submit finished work to a panel of experienced crafters. Certified pieces earn a wax seal with your name on it — proof it was truly made by hand, and something no printed tag can claim. BUILD YOUR LEGACY Your portfolio gathers everything into one story: hours honed, pieces finished, reactions earned, seals collected. Grow from Crafter to Artisan, Master and Inspiring Leader, take a seat on the expert panel, and help decide what handmade means here. SHARE AND GIVE See what other crafters are building, and find them by name. Connect, join groups, and when a piece is meant for someone, wrap it properly — ribbon, bow, a note — then a private thread opens with whoever receives it. Or offer a finished piece to the community and choose who it goes to. PREMIUM Free for 14 days. Four photos on every step, up to 100 steps per project, insights and a printable project book, custom certificates, stamps and gift wrap, the home-screen widget, the premium hats and cloths, and gold honor on your profile and pieces. The app itself is free. Cancel any time. Handmade · Documented · Celebrated In 12 languages, on iPhone and iPad.
