Patternizer

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.
