Questions and answers

Getting started, fabrics, files and working with your data.

Is SewnBy suitable for an atelier?

Yes. Keep fabrics, patterns, measurements and projects for personal sewing and client work. Save fitting details, fabric choices and usage in each project.

Do I have to add all my fabrics and patterns straight away?

No. Start with what you are working on now: one fabric, one pattern or one project. Add the rest of your collection gradually.

How do I know how much fabric is available for a new project?

The fabric card shows the total length, allocated amount and available remainder. Reserve fabric while planning, then record actual usage when you finish the project.

Where can I find pricing and storage limits?

Current access terms and photo and file storage limits are in the terms of use. Please read them before uploading your collection.

Will other visitors see my projects?

Adding a fabric, pattern or project does not create a public page. Access within a workshop depends on member permissions. Publishing a project will be a separate action.

How can I download my files or delete my account?

Download attached pattern files from their cards. To request a copy of other data or account deletion, contact support.

Do I need to install an app?

SewnBy works in your browser. Use your account to sign in to your workshop.

Can I keep PDF patterns and fitting adjustments?

Yes. Attach files to a pattern and record fitting changes in its adjustment notes. See the terms of use for attachment and storage limits.

Can I use one fabric in several projects?

Link one fabric to several projects. Reservations are included when calculating the available amount, so check the remaining length before starting another project.

What if I use less fabric than planned?

Record actual usage when completing the project. It will be used to calculate the available remainder instead of the initial reservation.

Is there a separate shopping list?

It is planned. For now, record the fabric and notions you need to buy in your project notes.

When will the public gallery be available?

The public gallery is planned. You will be able to choose which projects and materials to share.
