Everything your studio needs
Built around how a sewing business actually runs
Project pipeline
Track every garment from first quote to final delivery. Each project moves through clear stages — pre-production, measuring, cutting, sewing, fitting, ready, and delivered — so you always know what’s on the machine and what’s up next.
- Visual status pipeline with due-date alerts
- Deposit and balance tracking per project
- Invoices, notes, and files tied to one record
Each project, all in one place
Open any project and see everything that matters: details, measurements, due dates, assigned pattern, messages, payments, files, and a full history timeline — no more hunting across apps or notebooks.
- Project details, scope, and status at a glance
- Built-in message thread between studio and client
- Deposit, invoice total, balance due, and payment history
Client portal
Give clients a private, branded space where they can follow their projects, view progress photos, send messages, and see invoices — all organized by job instead of buried in texts.
- One portal per client with project-level threads
- Progress galleries with comments and uploads
- Payment and measurement history always visible
Costume rentals
List rental inventory with photos, sizes, colors, and rates, then book items by the day or week. Blackout dates stop double-bookings and rental invoices are calculated automatically.
- Inventory cards with images and rates
- Automatic conflict blocking on the calendar
- Rental invoices generated from booking dates
Finances & reporting
See exactly where your money stands. Collected, outstanding, and invoiced totals are updated as you record payments, so you know who has paid and what’s still on the table.
- Collected, outstanding, and invoiced summaries
- Open-invoice drill-down by project
- Date filters for month-to-date and all-time views
Studio calendar
Project due dates, fittings, rental pickups, and returns all land on one calendar. Color-coded event types make it easy to see what kind of day is ahead at a glance.
- Fittings, due dates, pickups, and returns in one view
- Color-coded event types by category
- Quick links from events to projects or rentals
Patterns & supplies
Build a searchable library of patterns, fabrics, notions, suppliers, and colors. Link supplies directly to projects so you never wonder which fabric went with which gown.
- Patterns organized by category, size, and type
- Supply inventory with supplier and color notes
- Link any supply directly to a project record
Projects & invoices
Build quotes, collect deposits, and track the full payment lifecycle for every project. Invoices include line items, tax, partial payments, and deposit status — all linked to the project record.
- Deposits, line items, sales tax, and payments all in one place.
- PDF invoices you can email or print.
- Status badges keep the whole pipeline readable at a glance.
Business testimonials
Loved by sewing studios
Hear how other business owners use Sewing IQ to organize clients, projects, rentals, and payments.
“Sewing IQ finally gave us one place for measurements, photos, and due dates. We stopped losing client details in text threads and our whole team knows what's on the machine each morning.”
“The client portal alone saved us hours each week. Customers see their project status and progress photos without asking, and they pay invoices right from their phone.”
“We run a small rental library and a busy alteration schedule. Having rentals, fittings, and project deadlines on one calendar keeps us from double-booking and helps us plan fabric orders ahead.”
