Stockpile by canvus1/1/2023 Organize items and attachments and allows for search capability, with both free and paid options. Check out Meg’s tutorial on setting up and managing your patterns on Trello.Įvernote: More than a “note-taking” app. Trello: The Sew Daily team loves this product because it’s so visual. Here are some alternative apps that track inventory and lists in some way: There are lots of inventory management apps out there, both paid and free. I love that because wherever I get hit with inspiration, I can just open my app and see if I have a pattern available for what I’ve just seen or for what’s in my mind. For each pattern, I add as many identifying tags as possible, and then I can search by a specific tag (or multiple), and what I have available will populate. The most beneficial part of the app for me is the ability to add tags. If I’m shopping, I can do a quick check to make sure that I’m not buying duplicates of a pattern, or if I am, I am getting a different size. One of the benefits of having everything stored in an app on my phone is that I don’t buy duplicates. Those three details are enough initial information for me, whether I am in my sewing room looking for something to make or if I’m in a store searching for new patterns. I like to make sure I put the pattern company, pattern number, and size of the pattern as the title. If using the barcode scanning, about 85% of the time the pattern shows up and has a photo attached and the correct pattern title/number. Use the barcode scanning capability that the app offers.Take a picture of the pattern and then add all of its identifying information and tags.There are multiple ways that you can add a pattern to the Sortly app: It’s perfect for patterns because it allows you to decide how you want to categorize your items, what tags you want to assign them for search purposes, and lets you add pictures as well. Sortly is an inventory management app that is made for businesses to track and manage their inventory. When the surface is covered, clip the corners and lay them one over the other to give the corners a clean look. Once you’re happy with your work, pull the backing off a little more and start to smooth the next section. If there are air bubbles, take your time to smooth them out toward the edges. Remove a small section of the backing first and smooth it down with something that has a stiff straight edge (credit card, ruler, etc.). After removing the drawers, measure around both the cabinet and the drawers to gauge how much contact paper would be needed for each section (keeping in mind to add an extra inch all around). The key to contact paper is to work slowly. I purchased white contact paper and an oak wood patterned/colored roll to match the rest of the furniture in my sewing room. That way, I could give it a facelift with a plethora of design options, and I wouldn’t have to move the cabinet. My next thought was to cover it with contact paper. Plus, the cabinet was so heavy that it would be a hassle to try to move it outside to a well-ventilated area. However, the cabinet had a lot of rust spots and scratches and I didn’t feel like spray paint would really make it look brand new. When thinking about the cabinet makeover, my first instinct was to use spray paint. I was excited to start filling up the cabinet with the many patterns I had in bags and boxes, but I knew that I needed to spruce up the cabinet before I could place it in my sewing space. It turns out that he had gotten them from a fabric store that had been liquidated, so they were the real deal, with company stickers and all. I immediately hopped on the opportunity and contacted the seller. A few years ago, I was scrolling through Instagram stories and a fellow sewist posted that there were some pattern cabinets being sold on Craigslist in my metropolitan area.
