Turn clothes you never wear into something you will. Photograph a garment. Stitch Switch reads it — the fabric, the colours, the details worth keeping — and shows you three things it could become. Pick one and see a preview of YOUR garment as the new piece. Then get a real pattern, sized to one measurement you take with a tape. WHAT YOU GET • A reading of your garment: fabric, weight, colours, what to re-use • Three flips that fit it, from 41 across 9 kinds of clothing • A preview of your own garment, flipped (your first one is free) • Pattern pieces sized to your measurement, 1 cm seam allowance included • A printable PDF at 100% with a test square, templates tiled across pages • A cutting list for every straight piece — no printing needed for those • One step at a time, with the mistake worth avoiding called out FLIPS FOR T-shirts, button-up shirts, jeans, trousers, sweaters, hoodies and sweatshirts, dresses, skirts, and sheets or curtains. Crop tops and tanks, tote bags and pouches, skirts from shirts, vests and beanies from sweaters, circle skirts from a sheet. HOW THE PREVIEW WORKS The preview is drawn by AI from your photo, so it shows your fabric and colours. It is a picture of the idea, not a promise: your result will look like your sewing. Sizing, pattern pieces and steps are worked out on your phone from your measurement. STITCH SWITCH PRO Every pattern, printable; every flip; a preview for every garment you snap. Weekly, monthly or yearly. Patterns you open while subscribed stay available afterwards. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation.
