Let Sewing Room PA carry the load and be your index.
Catalogue up to 200 front patterns in a single sitting.
Scan the front of any pattern envelope (in Notes or Google Drive), upload it and watch SRPA fill in the brand, number and garment type automatically. Add the back scan whenever you're ready for full detail.
Every pattern you own, beautifully organised. Search by brand, garment type, project status and more. Less time searching, more time sewing.
We're still deciding what to show you next — stay tuned.
Scan the envelope, SRPA does the work for you. Front for brand, number and garment type; back for fabric, notions and size measurements, so your whole collection is finally searchable.
Snap a photo, add in bulk to catalogue your fabrics. Note only basics or go deep with type, length and usage. No more guessing what you need.
Trims, threads, needles, zips & buttons. Know what you've already got before you buy your 6th roll of black overlocking thread.
Keep everyone's measurements on hand, photos included, growth tracked for the little ones. Then let SRPA tell you which patterns will actually fit before you cut.
See what's planned, cut, sewing, or finished, all in one place, at a glance.
Found a pattern you love, Sew What? searches your fabric for best matches and vice versa.

I've been sewing for longer than I can remember. Over the years I've collected patterns — some I've never made, some I've made three times, and a great many I forgot I owned.
The app I needed didn't exist so I made it. Now I always know what I have and what I need.

My daughter is one of my greatest creations. Not just the wedding dress — though that was my most passionate and intricate project. It's the kind, thoughtful woman she became. The near-perfect grades. The integrity she brings to everything. And watching her be a mum? At that she is exceptional, dedicated and genuinely fun.
She never caught the sewing bug though. My dream of sitting side by side designing and sewing treasures in my happy place never eventuated. Instead, her visits to my sewing room arrived armed with op shop finds that "just needed the shoulders taken in" — or the waist lifted, or a complete remodel. I told you she was smart — why learn the trade when it magically appears on your bed the next day, washed, altered and pressed?
So you can imagine my joy when I found out my first grandchild was a girl. My prayer while she was still in her mother's womb wasn't that she'd become a sewist — just that my sewing room would always feel like a happy place to visit. And that if that spark ever caught, I'd be ready.
DJ had just turned two when I decided she was old enough to come into Nana's special space. We sat on the floor for nearly two hours while she sorted an enormous box of buttons into neatly coloured compartments — focused, careful, genuinely helpful. My heart sang.
I started showing her fabrics I had in mind for her. "What do you think of this one? Do you think it would make a nice dress?" A week later I'd present her with something new. The quiet satisfaction I feel when I hear her say "my Nana made this for me" still makes me smile.
She's three now. While "I'm training her in the way she should go," I'm also making matching dresses for her dolls, party hats, and finding her treasures from my sewing room — showing her that with the right tools and a little creativity, anything is possible.
Which brings me to Sewing Room PA. I've been collecting fabric, patterns and haberdashery for 45 years. Deep down, efficiency and value for money are core values of mine — I want to make the most of what I have. And I want to leave this world with my sewing room in order, so that one day, if she ever wants it, DJ inherits not just a massive mess but a collection of unlimited potential — and the clarity and confidence to use it.
I have a gorgeous grandson now too — whether they ever thread a needle or not, I hope they always know this room and this Nana will always have plenty of room for them. 💜
That's completely fine. Front scans are perfect for exactly that. Scan the front of every envelope for brand, number, garment type and a photo. If you ever want to unlock the extra detail the back scan brings, you can add it at any time and the backs will find their fronts!
Your patterns, fabric and measurements are stored securely in the cloud. You can access them from any device, with regular backups so nothing gets lost.
Yes, Sewing Room PA works in any browser. No app store download needed.
Once your patterns and fabric are sorted, you'll be able to select any you'd like to sell and share them with a link instantly. Sew What? (automatic fabric to pattern matching) and an Embroidery module for your machine embroidery designs are also on their way.
We all need a little help getting life sorted.
