This “might” be useful for anyone who is curious to know exactly how many hours ![]()
![]()
they’ve spent cumulatively on a sewing ![]()

Project.
I sometimes use a Timesheet app to track time spent on a sewing project.
I can then write into the “Notes” section of a Project that it took “X hours to complete”.
Sometimes we get a whole day or weekend free to knock out a new dress
or
and it’s easy to say “𝐇𝐞𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐦𝐞 𝟕.𝟓 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞”.
Other times, we trace the pattern, 3 weeks later we pre-wash the fabric, half a year later it’s finally time to get to stitching that baby up
. So, from start to finish it “seems” like 214 days to complete a Project
.
99% of StashHubApp users aren’t going to be worried about tracking hours spent working on a project. So, IMHO a time-hours tracking *feature is highly unlikely to get added to the app. (*Currently, you can see date started + completed for a given Project in the app.)
But, sometimes if we could inform the non-sewers in our lives the total number of hours worked and kinda told them what an hourly pay ![]()
rate would be to make that thing they say “𝐎𝐡, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 - 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲!” that would be eye
opening to people who thinking making your own clothes is cheaper!
So… sometimes I use a Timesheet app to track time spent on a sewing project. (Those apps are often used by gig workers or freelancers to accurately charge for their hours worked.)
There’s loads of free + paid time tracking / time management apps to choose from ![]()
