About Sewing Patterns

The ultimate app for sewing fanatics!

This app lets you scan the barcodes of all your McCalls, Vogue, Butterick, and Simplicity patterns and store them on your device. You can see every pattern you own so you never buy the same pattern twice. The app also lets you store notes about your patterns as well as showing you pictures of the pattern as well as the yardage charts - so you always know exactly how much fabric you need! The app also lets you import and export all you patterns to the cloud, so you can access them on all your devices.

This is a must have for everyone who sews.

Note: Some older patterns do not scan properly. If you have any problems, contact support. Any pattern that is still on the McCalls' or Simplicity website should work fine.

What are users saying about Sewing Patterns

by H####:

I love the idea of having my patterns stored on my phone so that I don't purchase the same one twice (I have 3 copies of one pattern because I didn't realize I had already purchased it). The problem is that this app doesn't recognize older patterns or brand new releases. So this only solves my problem if I am only looking at older patterns but not too old.

Scanned a dozen patterns but it only recognized the very first one. Really disappointed.

I downloaded this app n it doesn't work at all. I want my money back

D70%
by D####:

I have a huge stack of patterns that won't scan and the app says is out of range. It would be nice to be able to add patterns. It would also be nice to be able to sort them into my own categories or any categories for that matter.

K70%
by K####:

Totally useless app, did not manage to find any patterns at all, even new ones.

A70%

There soul be a way to manually add patterns that won't scan or cannot be found with the pattern number

I like it, but the scan and pattern codes aren't working.

I would like a refund for this app. Thanks

I really need this app to work. It seems amazing. But putting in patterns is so rarely successful. My phone crashed and I lost everything, so I tried putting the. In again. Ones that listed before won't list now and vice versa. Phone crashed again got new phone and still more patterns that were once listed, won't list. Great idea, fails in practice. No help in importing or exporting or really of any kind. Not worth the fee .

U70%

Please add a way to add our own. I have many patterns that do not show up plus bag patterns from independent designers

U70%
by U####:

It's great for newer patterns, but doesn't recognize older ones or provide a way to manually add them. Will work if you're trying to avoid purchasing the same pattern twice, as it only catalogs newer patterns, but isn't so good for a compiling a full list of the ones you own. Switched to new phone and realized that my patterns didn't come with me. Booted up my old phone (thank god I didn't wipe it yet) and tried to export patterns, and just got an error message. Unable to export my patterns to the new device. I will have to re-scan all my patterns on the new phone.

Just installed, have put in 1 drawer full of patterns, but there are quite a few that would not show up. Please let us input these patterns that do not come up in the scans. Allow the user to import our own pictures, and edit info! Please! 5-12-16...Uninstalled. found a better app!

Out of my box of patterns it only scanned 2. I would like to add my own as well and add my own photo if one not available. This needs to be just as friendly as the "movie collection & inventory". Be fun if it was like it. It also has a free version better than what I just paid for. If I had to do it all over again I would not buy this app. Please make this a fun app.

V70%
by V####:

Its a ok app. I'll change my review when I'm able to add older patterns and be able to atleast add the ones the barcode doesn't find. I also noticed that some new patterns don't show up either. Please fix the issue of instead of the back of the pattern showing up, the website page of pattern shows up. Plus, some of the patterns back page is showing up instead of the front. Also if you were able to add subcategories that would be great too. We also need to be able to edit the pattern once it's scanned in.

U70%

Could not find any patterns and did not look like the demo pages. No help options.

K70%
by K####:

First if all, ant attempt to scan using the barcode reader took me ti the Michael's Home Page. Manual entry didn't recognize any of my entries.

Y70%
by Y####:

I couldn't get the app to input anything but current simplicity patterns. It kept giving me an indexing error for anything other than new simplicity patterns.

J70%
by J####:

All it does is scan the barcode, but if you go to look up details and the paytern is no longer on Simplicity's website, you get no info on it. Just a webpage error. Useless at this point.

I have a Samsung note 3 and a Samsung galaxy tablet. Would love to be able for the app to update on both items at once. I don't want to enter pattern information twice.

N70%
by N####:

I purchased this app less than ten minutes ago and every pattern that I've entered so far either had the incorrect photo associated with it or it says that the list is out of range or something like that. I have way too many patterns to waste my time and money with this foolishness. Tell me how to work this app or refund my money. Frustrated!!!

J70%
by J####:

I pretty much love this app for most patterns, but there are still some that don't show up when you scan barcodes or enter pattern numbers. Mostly Simplicity, but also some McCalls. I''ve found that if I copy and paste the URL of a pattern from the pattern maker's site into the pattern code field will work, but then the pattern code is listed as the URL instead of the pattern number so I can't find it easily. It would be great if I could alter the pattern code after creating adding a pattern this way.

There is no instructions on how to use it. Can't import, asks for import key. But no instructions on how to set it. Asked for help, have not had any. Will be asking for my mony back.

Easy to use and find

N70%
by N####:

Difficult to use, unwieldy and frankly not worth the money. I feel distinctly ripped off. Doesn't recognize the patterns when scanned, or only when scanned several times, so I can't tell if the pattern isn't in the database or if it didn't scan. Now if this app actually worked as advertised I'd be all about it, because out of the 40+ patterns I tried to scan, the 5 that actually showed up have the option to add notes and to go straight to the manufacturers website to look at the pattern... Would possibly be more useful if adding patterns that didn't scan manually, so I have a record of which patterns I have. Oh, and the whole 'you can export and import' thing? Not so much. It's probably possible, but there's no way to do it with this app.

I have entered 46 patterns and suddenly the app sends "none type" and has no "group"! The patterns are all doll clothes from McCalls, Simplicity & Butterick. The next 23 scanned all would not go. I have sent two emails and still haven't heard from the developer of this app. I guess this app was a scam????? Would LOVE for it to work!

Will not scan any pattern I have.
