Project planner v7

A complete sewing plan, not just a suggestion.

V7 keeps the natural-language project recognition, but now turns a specific request into a fuller plan with materials, sewing order and a project shopping hand-off. Vague beginner requests now offer several easy choices instead of silently choosing a dress.

“I have 2 metres of cotton.”Suggests realistic projects that fit the fabric you already own.
“A dress for my 8-year-old.”Recognises a child project and reminds you to size by measurements.
“Curtains, 180 cm wide × 220 cm drop.”Produces a planning estimate using standard fabric-width assumptions.
“What needle for stretch fabric?”Adjusts the needle advice to the material mentioned.
Hi! Tell me what you want to make, what fabric you have, measurements if relevant, and your experience level.
