(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!

Never forget a dream again. Dreams don't wait for a pen — Dreamlock listens the moment you wake; speak while your eyes are still closed, and the dream is safe before it fades. By morning it returns as a card: the story retold, the symbols named, the mood caught — and a painting of the night, made for that dream alone. WAKE. SPEAK. IT'S KEPT. • Capture by voice in the dark — your words are written down on the iPhone itself as you speak. • Half-sentences are fine. Dreamlock reads through the mumbling. • Your journal stays behind Face ID. MORNING CARDS • Every dream becomes a card: retelling, reading, symbols, mood, painting. • Readings listen to both sides — what psychology notices, and what the old traditions say. Every tradition is named, never blended into mush. • No fortune telling: a reading is about what your dream may be saying about you, never about what happens tomorrow. A JOURNAL THAT REMEMBERS • Your personal symbol index grows on its own: water, teeth, flying — every symbol links back to the nights it appeared. • Canon meanings for more than 120 dream symbols across four traditions, always attributed. • Ask about one dream or your whole journal — "why do I keep dreaming about trains?" — and get an answer drawn from your own nights. FREE, EVERY NIGHT • Capture and keep every dream. Free, forever. • Three full readings every week and five questions every month — full quality, nothing watered down. • Dreamlock Plus: every dream read, a painting for every night, unlimited questions. $4.99/month, or $39.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Prices may vary by region. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your App Store settings.
