Welcome to the FreeSewing tutorial, where you'll learn how to create a made-to-measure
|
||
|
|
sewing pattern, start to finish.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will be designing a pattern for a baby bib. It's a very simple pattern, but that's the point.
|
||
|
|
Your focus today is on learning FreeSewing and how to translate your designs into code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the end of this tutorial, you will have created this pattern:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<Example pattern="tutorial" part="bib" caption="Your end result" />
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before we can get started, let's make sure you have the required software
|
||
|
|
installed on your computer:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FreeSewing is a JavaScript library that runs on [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't have Node.js on your system, follow the link above and
|
||
|
|
install it on your system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you're done, you can test whether it works by running:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
node -v
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you get the node version number, you're all set.
