5/29/2023 0 Comments Sewing patterns![]() ![]() This is usually quite comprehensive, and may carry a warning of fabrics that aren’t suitable too! I recommend following these guidelines as the pattern companies will have rigorously tested these. This is a very handy app for sewists and those who do any crafts with patterns that require fabric or yarn.You’ll find a list of suggested fabrics that the sewing pattern has been specially designed to use with. It also is a good reminder of what patterns you own, without having to rifle through them all. So far, I really love this app and I’m always shopping for clearance fabrics so this will let me know how many yards I need if I’m on the go and don’t have my patterns with me. ![]() There’s an option for this in the settings. ![]() I had to figure out how to change the yardage from metric to yards and inches, but that wasn’t hard. You can also upload pics of the fabric or of the final garment. ![]() You can rate how easy or hard each pattern is to see and whether you liked it or not. It lets you add the size, fabric, yardage required, notions, and you can make notes either on the pattern or on the fabric you used, and you can indicate things like stretch percentages. I rarely ever review apps, but this one is great! I can add all of my patterns (with pictures of the front and back of each envelope). Thank you so much for your review and your suggestions for new features! I will be sure to look into them - especially the Fabric section, which was already on my todo-list. With these two changes, although I know they aren’t minor, and we may probably never have these features added, it would make this pattern application perfect just as long as it isn’t removed from the application store. Moreover, it would be great/terrific to have the ability to search the fabric and identify which pattern (if applicable) that fabric was chosen. Many sewers purchase many pieces of fabrics, and it would be wonderful/great to catalogue those pieces of fabric into this application. The final feature that would make this pattern wonderful/perfect is to have a fabric section independent from the pattern section. When you add a new pattern and you have pictures of those patterns or even fabric and instead of having to find the pictures in your “album” folder, it would be great to just have your photos and this application open to drag to photo into this application. One feature that would assist in minimizing the input time is by adding drag and drop. This application does what it is to do however, it would become a great application (for me), if it would implement new features to minimize the input time. In all aspects, Sewing Patterns is an indispensable app, for the experienced seamstress and the newcomer alike! Use the Filter function if you need to search for a specific pattern in your pattern library, or just need inspiration for your next project, based on a specific piece of fabric. You can add as many pictures and PDF files as you like, both for your categories, your patterns and your fabric. Using the camera, you can supply your pattern details with pictures of the model, the instructions, or perhaps of the finalized garments. When browsing your patterns, only the filled-in information is shown, so you won't have to deal with lots of empy fields. It is entirely up to you how many details you want to register for your individual patterns, but the more details you supply, the more help you will find in the built-in filtering function. Each pattern can be associated with as many categories as you wish. You can have your patterns sorted alphabetically, by most recent usage, or in any particular order you like. You can categorize your patterns based from standard garment types, or create as many of your own categories as you like. The app lets you gain the perfect overview in a single place, whether your patterns are purchased, found in magazines, or your own creations entirely. The app also helps you find inspiration on how to best make use of your current stash of fabric. The inspiration in the form of your pattern library is right at your fingertips, wherever you go, and you can easily make sure that you purchase the right fabric in the right quantity - and with the right accessories. If your answer is "yes", then Sewing Patterns will be your indispensable companion in the future. Have you ever tried going on a shopping spree for new fabrics (in physical stores or online), only to feel completely lost by not knowing exactly how you would use that nice-looking piece of fabric, and end up purchasing the wrong thing - or purchasing the right thing, but in the wrong quantity - or worse, still: Leaving empty-handed? ![]()
