What it saves you
- Each project totals its material cost and hours
- Stash items low in stock flag before you start a project
- Patterns and ideas link to the projects made from them
- Techniques show how often you have used them
How the parts work together
- Choose: Pick a pattern from the idea board → Check the stash has what you need
- Make: Log sessions with hours and techniques → Record materials used
- Finish: Move to Finished and add a photo → Restock anything "Running low"
