Cross-referencing sewing patterns, materials, and member projects
Access before committing
Sewer or textile maker cross-referencing patterns, materials, projects, resources, designers, companies, and shops.
- Before an account
- Browse public pattern, material, project, about, FAQ, and blog pages. Search and full database or community access route through sign-in.
- Free-account boundary
- A free account provides full database access, contribution, project and stash organization, forums, profiles, and related community tools.
- Payment boundary
- The current FAQ says the planned membership system will not launch and the site will not charge for access. Donations and shirt purchases are optional and separate.
- Cancellation or exit
- The FAQ links an account-cancellation process and says deletion is permanent, removes uploaded projects, and does not separately cancel newsletters or recurring donations.
- Saved work and data
- Members can add projects, patterns, materials, and organization records. The checked pages establish permanent project deletion with account closure but no complete export route, so retain important records elsewhere.
What the source establishes
Textillia's current about page describes an independent, centralized, crowdsourced database that cross-references sewing patterns, materials, resources, projects, designers, companies, and shops. Its FAQ says the site does not sell patterns or fabric, logged-in members can add records, full database access uses a free account, and paid memberships will not launch. A February 2026 notice says the dissolved company will continue the site as a donation-supported hobby project with minimal maintenance and reduced active development.
The linked database is maintained or extended by its community, so consequential facts should be checked at their original source.
What this record does not prove
Textillia is community-contributed and now runs with minimal maintenance, so record freshness, coverage, moderation speed, and continued availability require direct inspection. It does not sell the indexed patterns or materials. Confirm pattern files, sizing, measurements, availability, licence, errata, fabric details, and seller terms with the responsible designer, publisher, or manufacturer. Account deletion permanently removes uploaded projects, and the checked pages do not establish a complete export route.
A reachable official source can verify identity, stated scope, and access. It cannot silently become an audit of workmanship, delivery, labor conditions, or suitability for your project.
