SewStash: Fabric Inventory

Standing in a fabric shop wondering if you already own this. Buying the third metre of the same navy poplin. Knowing there is enough backing fabric somewhere in the cupboard, but not which bin.

SewStash puts your entire stash in your pocket. Offline, private, one payment.

🧵 EVERY KIND OF STASH
• Fabric — content, width, yardage or metres, colour, print, and what it is earmarked for
• Patterns — brand, number, size range and the fabric it needs
• Notions — zips, interfacing, elastic, thread, buttons
• Yarn — weight, fibre, dye lot, skeins and metres

📸 PHOTOS THAT MAKE IT USABLE
• A photo of the actual fabric beats any description you could type
• Capture with the camera or pick from your gallery
• Bulk add mode — photograph and enter a pile of new fabric in one pass instead of one form at a time

📐 YARDAGE THAT STAYS ACCURATE
• Deduct on use — cut two metres for a project and the remaining yardage updates itself
• Usage history per item, so you know what a piece became
• No more guessing whether the remnant is big enough

✂️ WHAT CAN I SEW RIGHT NOW
• Enter what a pattern needs and see which of your fabrics actually satisfy it
• Filter by fibre, width, colour or minimum yardage
• Turns "I have nothing to sew" into three real options

🗄️ WHERE IS IT
• Define your bins, shelves, drawers and boxes
• Every item knows which one it lives in
• Find the backing fabric without emptying the cupboard

🧮 EXTRAS
• Yardage calculator for conversions and cut planning
• Value of your stash, for insurance or for a quiet moment of reflection
• Full CSV export

🔒 OFFLINE AND PRIVATE
• Works with no signal — fabric shops and craft fairs are full of dead spots
• Everything stays on your phone. No account, no login, no cloud
• The app requests almost no permissions at all

WHY SEWISTS CHOOSE IT
• One payment for the full version — no subscription, nothing renews
• Bulk entry, because a stash is not built one item at a time
• Deduct-on-use yardage instead of a static list that goes stale in a month
• Photos, locations and search that work in the shop, offline

PERFECT FOR
• Quilters with more fat quarters than shelf space
• Garment sewists tracking yardage, width and fibre content
• Knitters and crocheters cataloguing yarn and dye lots
• Anyone who has bought fabric they already owned

FREE AND PREMIUM
