title: What is FreeSewing?
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[FreeSewing is an open source software project](https://github.com/freesewing/)
|
||
|
|
with the aim of becoming the WikiPedia of sewing patterns.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We provide a [core library](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@freesewing/core) for
|
||
|
|
parametric pattern design, an ever-growing [library of designs](/designs/) implemented in code,
|
||
|
|
as well as a bunch of adjacent tools for building modern interfaces on top of our platform.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are not interested in fashion, trends, or publishing the hot new pattern of the season.
|
||
|
|
Instead, we want to empower makers by distilling the knowledge of the sewing community
|
||
|
|
into parametric designs + documentation, and make that information freely available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FreeSewing is built by [contributors](/community/who/contributors/) who are all volunteers,
|
||
|
|
and financially supported by [our Patrons](/community/who/patrons/).
