What Reddit Says About Sewing Pattern Apps

Tailornova: this is an online pattern design software that will help you create any type of pattern for women and a few patterns for men which are shirts and T-shirts. Tailornova is my favorite because of the ability of the custom adjustment of the ease for woven fabrics and knits. Sewist: this site...

That in and of itself makes it a great tool for any sewist. ... I like a full-on database and would probably build it in AirTable if I were starting today. I track Fabrics, Notions, Patterns/Books/Classes, and connect them to Projects. ... Ditto! Trello is a godsend for this. Cards sorted into categ...

TukaTech is what you are looking for. Especially your “clicking the line to make 1/2 points” etc. You can try a free trial and then decide. It’s similar to CLO but requires much less processing power as the 3D program and Patterning programs run different applications.

I made this app for sewing called SewingLab. You can explore your next sewing ideas by mix and matching fabrics and sewing patterns.

You can try Inkscape :) I know a lot of my pattern drafting friends also use Coral (I'm not sure if it's free) and obviously Illustrator (definetly not free 😔)... Also worth noting, if you want to have the digital drafting done for you and do a hybrid digital-print, www.mislope.com has dr...

For me, that is 5 out of 4 and Rivet. But they aren’t super trendy. For trendy, I’d look at George + Ginger or Greenstyle. Viki sews is also trendy but I haven’t tried any of their patterns.

I just came across backstitch.app on Instagram, and it looks like an amazing webapp to organise sewing patterns, fabrics and projects! It's still in beta, but I signed up on their form and immediately got an access code. My first hour of trying it out was successful, and I will probably continu...

I'm a huge fan of Threadloop. It's really helped me organize my patterns and fabric so I know what I have on hand. ... I use notion and I’m very happy with it. I bought a template from sewing clubhouse and I really like it.

Since it's in beta you have to request an invite and then it takes a few weeks to get one. It has a pattern database and then you input what fabric you have in your stash, then create individual "projects" to combine those, track progress and modifications and make notes.

There are some useful YouTube videos made by people who sew who edit patterns in Inkscape too.

Would you recommend draping as an alternative to flat patterns? I liked Shapely / Valentina, but personally had difficulty with how it handles curves (might be due to my inexperience). ... The approach I take which has evolved over the years is basically a combination of drafting and draping for the...

Another view is the board view which is basically another inbuilt landing page for your data - in this view you can make only the necessary columns from the original table show on the cards like size range and appropriate fabric - any image you use for the header of that individual page shows up on ...

I haven't tried it, but I've seen a newer of sewists recommend the Stash Hub app. ... I've been using Stash Hub and I love it! ... I've been using Stash Hub and I LOVE it. It has both an app and a website version and does exactly what you're ...

Personally highly recommend Seamly2D (and it’s companion app SeamlyMe, which stores your measurements). https://seamly.io. Both apps are completely free and fairly easy to use, despite a steep-ish learning curve. I’m a confident beginner sewist and I figured out how to make my own block on Seamly, u...

Sewist involves choosing options (garment, neckline, sleeve, waist height, hem length…) and the app combines your choices into a garment pattern in your precise measurements. Lekala is ready-prepared patterns that they adjust to your measurements. Lekala has human-engineered styles whereas Sewist is...

Pattern Review is the closest thing you're going to find to Ravelry, IMO. It's mentioned in the pattern search guide, but not very obviously. ... Pattern Review.com is pretty good if you want substantive reviews of patterns and chat about sewing ...
