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. + +![Fun fact: Roy van der Hel means: Roy from Hel, and that's his real name](penelope.jpg) + +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. +
