If you came to this site looking for _sewing patterns_ and did not immediately find a place to download them, that's because all of FreeSewing's sewing patterns are **made to measure**.
Instead, FreeSewing drafts a design into a pattern made to your measurements.
That happens in real-time, in your browser.
- **Design**: One of the styles that we offer. We've got dozens of designs, and you can try them all
- **Pattern**: The result of *drafting the design* (turning it into a sewing pattern to your measurements). We've got thousands of patterns stored for our users, and some might be yours
Asking for them every time would be rather tedious, so we store them in your account.
Your account data is stored on our backend, subject to [our privacy notice](/docs/about/privacy),
and with respect for [your rights](docs/about/rights/).

## Measurements sets
Once you have an account, you can start adding measurements.
But that quickly brings up the next question: what if you want
a pattern for you, but also for your partner?
That's why we have **measurements sets**. You can add as many measurements sets as you like.
Having just one for yourself is fine too.
<Tip>
##### Curated measurements sets
FreeSewing also provides **curated measurements sets**. These are measurements set from real people that we use to test our platform and designs. But you can also use them to test-drive our platform before you break out the measuring tape.
