feat: Flat import of markdown repo

This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content
from our markdown module.

We've imported this without history because the repo contains our
blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi.

Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo
to import the full history.

Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo

+As you learn more about FreeSewing, you'll discover that there's more
+to this picture than meets the eye. So let's get started.
+
+If we look at our image, it can can divided into three areas:
+
+ - The left area with the *settings*  box
+ - The middle area with the *Pattern* box and everything in it
+ - The right area with the *draft* box and the *SVG* and *React* logos
+
+<Note>
+
+The left and right parts are all about how to integrate FreeSewing in your *frontend*.
+In other words, how you'll plug it into your website, or online store, or a mobile
+application.
+
+That part is outside the scope of this text.

+
+Parts are a container for the points, paths, and snippets of (a part of) your pattern.
+They are also re-usable by other patterns, which makes them a powerful tool to build 
+a pattern library.
+
+If you design a T-shirt pattern with a `front`, `back`, and `sleeve`, each of those would be a part.
+If you then wanted to make a long-sleeved version of your T-shirt pattern, you only need to design 
+a new sleeve part. You can re-use the `front` and `back` parts of your short-sleeved T-shirt pattern, as they did not change.
+
+When developing a FreeSewing pattern, you will spend most of your time designing the individual parts.

+  options={{focus: "Paths"}}
+/>
+
+Paths are the lines and curves that make up your pattern.
+
+They are made up of a set of drawing operations that together make up the path.
+FreeSewing supports the following types of drawing operations:
+
+ - The **move** operation moves our virtual pen but does not draw anything.
+ - The **line** operation draws a straight line
+ - The **curve** operation draws a [Bézier curve](/guides/overview/about/beziercurves/) 
+ - The **close** operation closes the path
+
+To crucial thing to keep in mind is that, with the exception of the **move** operation,
+all drawing operations start from wherever you are currently on your virtual sheet of paper.
+
+For example, you might expect the **line** operation to take a start- and endpoint. 
+But in fact, it only takes and endpoint, and will draw a straight line from where our virtual pen
+currently is to said endpoint.
+
+Because all but the **move** drawing operations are relative to their operation preceding it,
+**all Paths must start with a move operation**.
+
+<Note>
+
+Understanding that each drawing operation builds upon the next one is an important insight.
+
+</Note>
+
+<Tip>
+
+Our example image (which, if you hadn't realized was created with FreeSewing) has a lot of 
+paths in it. Each box, the arrows, the lines in the React logo, and so on.

+
+Last but not least, we've arrived at the level of the pattern itself.
+The pattern is a container that holds all your parts, along with the configuration
+and the store.
+
+In reality, your pattern will be a *constructor* that takes the user's settings as
+input and will return a new instance of your pattern.
+
+That pattern instance will have a `draft()` method which will do the actual work of 
+drafting the pattern. Once drafted, you can either call the `render()` method on 
+the pattern instance, or pass it to [our React component](/packages/components) to render it in the browser.

+
+Developing a pattern with FreeSewing is similar to doing it on paper.
+But instead of using a pencil and paper, you'll be writing code.
+
+Before we can draw any line, we need to know where it starts from, and where it ends.
+That's why we have **points**. They are the most basic building block of a
+FreeSewing pattern, and their role is to store coordinates.
+
+Each point must have: 
+
+ - A **X-coordinate**
+ - A **Y-coordinate**
+
+Together, these coordinates determine the location of the point in the 2-dimensional plane we're drawing on.
+
+<Note>
+
+Points are unlikely to confuse you. The only gotcha is [the
+coordinate system](/guides/prerequisites/coordinate-system/) which has a Y-axis that is inverted to what you 
+may intuitively expect.
+
+</Note>
+
+<Tip>
+
+Our example image (which, if you hadn't realized was created with FreeSewing) has a lot of 
+points in it. The corners of the boxes, the location where the text goes, and so on.

+
+Snippets are little embellishments you can use and re-use on your pattern.
+They are typically used for things like logos or buttons. 
+
+Each snippet must have:
+
+ - An anchor point that determine where the snippet will be located
+ - The name of the snippet to insert
+
