What is Selvage?
Selvage is a private sewing library. It keeps your fabric with its real yardage, your pattern files, notions, measurements, ideas and projects, and shows which fabrics are long enough for a make before you cut. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your library is kept on your device. In-app purchases, diagnostics and Link Prefill use the internet. Crash and performance diagnostics are on by default, and you can turn them off in Settings, under Diagnostics.
Is Selvage free? How does Pro work?
The free app has every core tool for up to 15 fabrics, 12 patterns, 3 active projects, 20 notions and 1 measurement profile. Selvage Pro is a one-time purchase, never a subscription. It removes those limits and adds bulk add and edit, automatic shortfalls on the To buy list, duplicate warnings and the printable Stash Book. Backup, restore, CSV import and export stay free. Pricing is shown in your app store.
Can I bring my spreadsheet?
Yes. Import a CSV of fabrics, notions, patterns or projects, check how the columns match, and preview before anything is added. Photos in a folder can be matched by filename. On the free app the import fills up to the free limits; Pro imports every row.
Does one purchase cover all my devices?
One Apple purchase covers your iPhone, iPad and Mac. Google Play and Microsoft Store purchases are separate, so a purchase on one store does not unlock Pro on another.
What happens to my library if I change devices?
Save a full library backup, with photos and pattern files, and restore it on the new device. On Apple devices you can keep backup copies in your own iCloud Drive. There is no cloud sync, so two devices do not stay in step on their own.
Which devices does Selvage run on?
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android phones and tablets, and Windows. It needs iOS or iPadOS 18 or later, macOS 15 or later on an Apple silicon Mac, Android 10 or later, or Windows 10 build 17763 or later. Selvage is coming soon to the App Store, the Mac App Store, Google Play and the Microsoft Store.
