It's no secret there's been a lot of digital nomads in recent history as sewing websites have dissolved, collapsed, or just plain disappeared. I'm so tired of moving my projects from one site to another. I have lots of projects and I just want them to have a permanent home. Is there some way you could do a batch importer? Please? Help a sister out? I'll help code it if necessary...

Oy, that depends on the website I'd say and if they have any open API or something?

Oh, I have no patterns for most of these anyway. I'm a quilter, so patterns are a loose concept in my world. And I'd be happy to stitch things up (ha! get it!?) by hand post-import. If you tell me what to make my csv look like, I'll make it happen. I'm just so tired of clicking through UIs for my projects. I'm a content management systems/database nerd professionally, so forgive me for the complicated request - I drive my engineers at work crazy, too!

Oh! Also, I'd be happy to send you a file to play with. Just point me at an email address. There was a JSON export from Threadbias that I started with, but at this point, I could turn it into whatever you like.

Ah, okay, sure, send me the file. The guys would love it in csv I guess, that's the most straightforward way.

Forgot to add the address - info@sewist.com :)

Just talked to the guys, they say you don't need to convert to anything, json is absolutely fine :)

Emailed. Thanks so much!

Yes, we can import Threadbias projects in JSON format, especially that they closed the service and we are not playing in someone's else field :)

I often work with self drafted patterns, could you tell me how I can upload projects using those?

Hi Manuela, we'll add this in a couple of days, thanks for asking!

Thank you

And we just added it :) Now you can click the link Add a project right on the Projects page and select "Improvised Design" or "Pattern not yet on Sewist"

Thank you very much, it works a treat.

Is there a limit on how many pictures we can upload?

I tried uploading photos from my Mac, no joy either :-(

Hi Manuela- hopefully Natalia will be online to help you. I just entered a quick project and uploaded a picture from my Mac with no problems. I'm using Chrome as my browser. Maybe the browser makes a difference. If there's anything you want me to check in my settings that might help you get it figured out, let me know.

Thanks Elephun, hmm, I'm on Safari, not keen on changing to Chrome... I'm one of the few people left without a Google account  ;-)

Fixed - there was a specific file extension that got blocked. We recovered the uploaded photos, and they can now be seen in your projects :)

Fabulous, thank you very much.
