+title: "Monthly roundup - September 2018: Shin, loads of JavaScript, and a long TODO list"
+---
+
+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 September
+
+GitHub tells me that I've made 329 commits in 32 repositories during September. 
+Most of that work is an investment in the future, and it will be a while before you'll
+be able to reap the benefits of it. 
+
+But not all, because between all the other stuff, I did find time to release the
+[Shin swim trunk pattern](/patterns/shin):
+
+![Shin are swim trunks that I would qualify as menswear, but I see no reason women can't wear them](cover.jpg)
+
+### Pics or it didn't happen
+
+Also new are a bunch of showcases, which is always nice, including this
+Jaeger jacket by [Paul](/users/Tiger751023):
+
+![A Jaeger jacket by Paul](/showcase/linnen-jaeger-by-paul/showcase.jpg)
+
+If you're making our patterns, please don't hesitate to send in your pictures so we can add some more!
+
+### Shadow boxing
+
+All the other work has mostly been JavaScript code as part of our future plans.
+I am aware that this kind of work is invisible to most of you (you don't stalk mmy on GitHub, do you?)
+and that the perception can be that not much is going on here.
+
+The opposite is true. I am working harder on this project than ever, but for now it's mostly in the shadows.
+
+To try shine some light on what's going on, 
+I have created [a long todo-list](https://github.com/freesewing/todo),
+so if you'd like to help out (or if you're just curious what we're up to) go ahead and have a look.
+
+Note that not all tasks are technical. We also need to pick pretty colors for the new patterns for example.
+
+
+## Looking ahead to October
+
+I have two weeks of holiday in October, and I have promised myself I would (try to)
+put away my laptop and make some clothes. I'm curious to see how that goes.
