SpoolKit is the home for everything in your sewing room. Track your fabric stash by real yardage and value, keep your pattern library with sizes and notes, move every make from queued to finished, and build a photo journal of what you have sewn. What you can do: - Fabric stash: log each cut with its fibre, yardage, width, price, and a photo. See your total yardage, your total value, and a chart of the breakdown by fibre. - Pattern library: keep every pattern with its brand, sizes, and the adjustments you always make, so you never re-measure. - Project queue: track makes through queued, cutting, sewing, on hold, and finished, and link each make to the fabric and pattern it uses. - Yardage check: SpoolKit compares the yards a make needs against the cuts you assigned, so you know before you cut whether you are short. - Notions inventory: count thread, zippers, buttons, elastic, and more, with low-stock warnings so you know what to restock. - Make journal and finished gallery: photograph finished makes and note the fit, the modifications, and whether you would make it again. - Deadlines and reminders: set a due date on a make and get a local reminder. - Syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud.
