The Digital Sewing Planner: A Tool for Sewing your Handmade Wardrobe

My Digital Sewing Planner is a hyperlinked PDF planner designed to help you plan your sewing projects and sew your dream handmade wardrobe. If you dislike paper clutter and want an infinitely reusable planner to organize your sewing projects, this is the tool for you!

It’s designed for use on a tablet with any PDF annotation app like GoodNotes, Notability, Adobe Acrobat, Xodo and so many others.

Personally, as a sewist who often has too many ideas floating around, I designed this planner to be super intentional.

What makes it unique is that it not only provides project pages, but also begins with a guided prompts section to help you think critically about your sartorial needs and plan your sewing projects accordingly.

How to to use this Digital Sewing Planner

This planner is a fully hyperlinked PDF that is compatible with most PDF annotation apps. You can use a stylus or pencil if using your tablet or phone. I like to use it on my PC with an external graphical tablet and pen. You could also just use Adobe Acrobat and type on the PDF or add images. You have lots of options.

The guided planning section

Before you even think about a specific project, the planner walks you through a series of prompts to help you:

• Define Your Needs: What function will your handmade wardrobe serve? What seasons or activities do you need to sew for?
• Clarify Your Vision: Create a dedicated mood board and color palette to ensure your projects feel cohesive.
• Set Your Goals: What are you hoping to achieve with your sewing practice?

The sewing project planner pages

Once you have your vision, you can plan up to nine individual projects. This is a manageable number that allows you to build a mini-collection without feeling overwhelmed. Each project has dedicated space for:

• Pattern information, sizing details, and modifications.
• Inspiration images and digital fabric swatches.
• A final review to reflect on the process and the fit of the finished garment.

The review section

The final section of the digital sewing planner contains a 3-page review. By taking a moment to reflect on things like fabric choice, construction processes, you’ll start to identify techniques and silhouettes that you enjoy.

This simple review process will help you learn so much about yourself as a sewist and you personal style.
