The inventory layer for makers

Know what you have.
Make what you love.

Every maker has more materials than they can remember. Thrum fixes that. Photograph what you own, know exactly what’s in your stash, and stop buying what you already have — whatever you make.

Built for quilters, sewists, yarn crafters, candle makers, beaders, and anyone who works with physical materials.

Sound familiar?

You love your stash.
It’s also kind of a mess.

If any of these feel painfully familiar, you’re not alone. This is every maker’s story — and exactly why we built Thrum.

“I have no idea what’s in those bins.”

Six bins, three shelves, a drawer in the guest room. You know there’s something gorgeous in there somewhere — you just can’t find it when you need it.

“I bought this. Again.”

You came home from the store with something you were sure you needed — and unpacked it right next to the three you already had of exactly the same thing. Guilt level: high.

“Do I have enough for this project?”

You fall in love with a project, check your stash at 11pm, try to do the math on scratch paper, give up, and order more just in case. Again.

Step 1 — Catalog

Snap a photo. We’ll fill in the details.

Point your phone at one of your materials. We’ll suggest the color, the type, and the key details — you just check it, add how much you have, and tap save. Cataloging a full stash takes about an afternoon.

  • Works on fabric, yarn, wax, beads, thread — whatever you keep in your stash
  • Every suggestion is yours to confirm or change — nothing saves until you say so
  • Prefer to type it yourself? That works too — photos are always optional

* Photo identification powered by AI. You always review before saving.

Step 2 — Check

“Do I have enough for this project?”
Now you know — before you start.

Pick a project, tell us how much of each material you need, and we check it against your real stash. You see exactly what you already have, what you’re short on, and what you need to pick up — before you make your first cut, first stitch, or first pour.

  • Checks against your actual stash — not estimates or guesses
  • Save the check as a project so you can track your progress from start to finish
  • Anything you’re short on lands in your shopping list automatically
From the first Thrum makers

It’s the thing
I wish I’d had 20 years ago.

Thrum launched with quilters — because they have the biggest stashes and the most acute version of this problem. But the hum of making belongs to everyone who works with their hands. Yarn crafters, sewists, candle makers, beaders — you’re next.

“I cataloged over 200 pieces in one Saturday afternoon. Now I actually shop my stash first — and my sewing room finally feels like a plan, not a pile.”

“I was about to drive to the quilt shop for more Kona Snow. Thrum told me I already had four yards on the top shelf. That one check paid for a whole year.”

“I finally stopped buying fabric I already own. And the real surprise? I’m actually sewing more — because I know what I have.”
