Your whole pattern stash, organized, and finally easy to search. Patternizer is a home for every sewing pattern you own or want. Stop digging through folders of PDFs, bookmarks, and paper envelopes. Add a pattern once, and you can find it again in seconds. And stop buying patterns you already have. Before you check out at a pattern shop, search your stash to see if you already own it, or one that's an awful lot like it. Patternizer also gives you a heads-up when a pattern you're adding looks like one already in your collection.
