Made by Jessica, a sewist who got tired of digging through folders of PDF patterns and screenshots. 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. ADD PATTERNS THE EASY WAY • Upload a pattern PDF and Patternizer fills in the details for you: title, designer, garment type, fabric, sizes, skill level, and more • Paste a link to a pattern shop page and the details fill themselves in • Share a pattern page from Safari or a shop's app straight into Patternizer • Snap or upload a screenshot of a pattern • Import a spreadsheet of patterns you already track • Or type it in yourself. Your collection, your way FIND THE RIGHT PATTERN • The Pattern Picker walks you through who it's for, what you want to make, and what fabric you have, showing matches as you go • Search by title, designer, fabric, or your own notes • Star your favorites and keep a wishlist of patterns you want to buy FABRIC STASH AND SEAMLESS DESIGNS • Photograph the fabric you have on hand and track how much is left, whether it's prewashed and where it came from • Keep the seamless design files you've bought, at full resolution, with the designer, shop and price • Filter your fabric and designs by color • Link fabric or a design to the pattern you plan to make with it KEEP IT ALL TOGETHER • Store the pattern files themselves alongside each pattern • Save photos of everything you've made from a pattern • Keep notes on your favorite fabric shops, printers and pattern designers, plus your own machine settings and techniques • Track sewing to-dos with deadlines and photos • Keep measurement profiles for yourself and everyone you sew for • Customize the tags and categories to match how you sew EASY TO READ Patternizer follows your iPhone's Text Size setting, has its own larger text option, and has a Dark Mode.

Stashly

Read full description

Your whole sewing stash, finally in one place. Stashly is a calm, private organizer for everything in your sewing room. Log what you own, find it when you need it, see a pattern sewn up in your own fabric before you cut, and stop buying the fabric you already have. FABRIC STASH From quilting cotton to silk, record yardage, width, fiber, construction and stretch, plus what you paid and where you bought it. Add a photo of each piece so you recognize it instantly. See your total yardage and stash value at a glance, and keep remnants, pre-wash notes and machine settings with each piece. PATTERN LIBRARY Keep your patterns with brand, number, sizes owned and the views you have made. Scan the barcode on a commercial pattern envelope and Stashly fills in the details for you, drawing on a shared catalog built by other sewists. FABRIC MATCHING Tell Stashly which pattern you want to make and it checks your stash for fabric that actually works - right construction, wide enough, and enough yardage for your size and view. AI SCANS (EVERY PLAN) Photograph the back of a pattern envelope and Stashly reads it for you: brand, number, sizes, the suggested fabrics and notions, and the whole yardage table, with fractions and meters turned into yards. Photograph a fabric and it names the color, picks out the accent colors and tags the print style and scale. Got a whole pile? Batch Smart Scan queues a stack of envelopes or swatches and adds each one to your stash. Free includes 3 scans a month, Basic 50, Pro 200 and Max 1,000. THE ATELIER (PRO AND MAX) See it sewn before you cut. Pick a pattern and a fabric from your stash and the Atelier shows the finished garment in that fabric, on a model or a dress form, in the setting you choose. Keep favorite looks in your lookbook, build a capsule-wardrobe moodboard, and turn any look into a project. PROJECTS Move each make through Planned, Cutting, Sewing and Completed with its own checklists, flip through a lined project journal with photos, print a planning sheet, and work through the steps in focus mode. When it is finished, Stashly takes the yardage off your stash, and you can log every wear to see the cost per wear. FIT, YARN AND NOTIONS Save measurement profiles for yourself, family or clients and see the pattern size for bust, waist and hip. Keep tabs on thread, zippers, buttons and interfacing, and switch on the yarn stash if you knit or crochet too. YOURS, AND PRIVATE Stashly keeps working with no signal and syncs when you are back online, so your catalog is backed up and on your other devices and the web. No ads, no trackers, and your data is never sold. The AI tools only run when you use them. ALSO INSIDE - Search, filter and sort across every tab - Shopping list for fabric-buying trips - CSV export and import, so your data is always yours - Home screen widgets - Ten languages - Light and dark themes Free to start, with a few AI scans a month. Basic, Pro and Max add more, and the Atelier comes with Pro and Max. Made by a small studio for people with more fabric than time. --- SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
