This is your monthly roundup of the freesewing news of the last four weeks,
|
|
|
|
|
and a look at what lies ahead in the next month.

## 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](/patterns/penelope).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The pattern was designed by [@woutervdub](/users/woutervdub), it's his second pattern
|
|
|
|
|
after he previously made [Benjamin](/patterns/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/alfalyr), 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Watch this space.
