About this app
What Sewbench does
Sewbench is the offline sewing companion for the millions of garment and home-sewing makers who currently juggle a PDF reader, a notes app, and a paper notebook to keep track of patterns, fabric, projects, and where they left off. What ships in v1: — Pattern library. Import any pattern PDF from Files or Mail. Tag by garment type (dress, top, pants, bag), maker (Closet Core, Helens Closet, Grainline), and size range. — Pattern reader. Built-in PDFKit reader with bookmark, multi-page tile preview, and a notes overlay so you can scribble "shortened bodice 1.5cm" right on a page. — Project log. Per-project record: pattern used, fabric (yardage, content, source), size cut, modifications, photos, notes. Track "in progress" vs "finished." — Fabric stash. What's in your stash, by yardage, content, color, where stored. Tag fabrics to projects so the stash decrements. — Cutting list math. Enter pattern requirement vs fabric width and Sewbench tells you yardage needed. Handle 4-way stretch vs woven differently. — Wishlist. Patterns you want to make, fabrics you want to find at the next quilt-show. — No account, no ads, no subscription, no cloud. For the sewist community — distinct from StitchLog (knitting/crochet). Pattern Keeper is excellent but iOS users want native polish; Sew Organized is dated. Sewbench is the modern offline workbench.

Why it exists
The problem
Sewists juggle a PDF reader for patterns, a notes app for modifications, a paper notebook for fabric stash, and another for project planning — there's no integrated offline workbench. Pattern Keeper (Android-leading) and Sew Organized cover slices but no native polished iOS tool ties pattern + stash + project + cuttin…
What's different
How Sewbench stands out
Sewbench is the only iOS sewing app that combines PDFKit pattern library + on-page modification notes + per-project log (pattern + fabric + size + mods + photos) + fabric stash with auto-decrement + cutting-list math + wishlist — all offline, no account — Pattern Keeper has Android polish but limited iOS, Sew Organize…
