The FreeSewing core library is a toolbox for **parametric pattern design**;
|
||
|
|
Using parameters or variables to manipulate the outcome of a given design.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In sewing patterns, the parameters are what is provided by the user:
|
||
|
|
Their measurements and options that they have selected.
|
||
|

##### No more grading, ever
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When drafting or designing patterns or garments, it is common practice to start
|
||
|
|
with a fit model (or dress form).
|
||
|
|
The measurements of the fit model are used as input in the initial design.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Adapting the pattern for a different model is a tedious task,
|
||
|
|
which is why patterns are graded up and down to cover different sizes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But in a parametric sewing pattern, adapting to different sizes or models *just works*.
|
||
|

|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FreeSewing patterns are implemented **as code**, which has a lot of advantages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It allows for patterns that adapt to your measurements or preferences,
|
||
|
|
fine-grained version control, seamless collaboration, and using existing
|
||
|
|
patterns as a starting point for you own, to name but a few.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That being said, you don't have to be a code monkey to use FreeSewing.
