This is your monthly roundup of the freesewing news of the last four weeks,

## Looking back at June
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After the mad scramble in May to get the new site ready for the GDPR deadline,
|
||
|
|
June has (thankfully) been a bit let hectic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not that we haven't been busy. We've resolved a few issues with the new site,
|
||
|
|
and while there's a few things that still need work, the most pressing issues
|
||
|
|
have been resolved.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We've also completed the port of the documentation, which was something that
|
||
|
|
was on our todo-list for June. It's always nice to make a plan and then follow
|
||
|
|
through on it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the migration demanding less of our time and attention, we've turned our
|
||
|
|
attention back to building our pattern repository, and just before the end of
|
||
|
|
the month, we were able to publish the [Penelope Pencil
|
||
|
|
Skirt](/designs/penelope).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The pattern was designed by [@woutervdub](/users/user?id=132), it's his second
|
||
|
|
pattern after he previously made [Benjamin](/designs/benjamin).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make certain the release wouldn't go unnoticed, we asked freesewing's
|
||
|
|
illustrator [Roy van der Hel](https://www.deviantart.com/royvdhel-art) to drew
|
||
|
|
an illustration for Penelope, and as always, he nailed it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Oh, and I'd almost forgot. The website is now available in German, so tell your
|
||
|
|
German-speaking friends about it!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Looking ahead to July
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As you could read in the [Penelope announcement blog
|
||
|
|
post](/blog/announcing-penelope) we are planning more womenswear patterns, and
|
||
|
|
that's what our focus will be on in July.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of those plans are more mid-term, but we should be releasing a circle
|
||
|
|
skirt pattern in July designed by [@AlfaLyr](/users/user?id=1230), who also provided
|
||
|
|
much of the Spanish translation of the site.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We also started working on a basic bodice block for women, but that will
|
||
|
|
probably take a while to complete.
