+title: "Monthly roundup - July 2018: French and waiting for Sandy"
+---
+
+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 July
+
+It's the summer time, and the heatwave across Europe isn't exactly helping with our productivity. 
+What I'm saying is: I said we would have a new pattern out in July, but it's going to be late. 
+We're still waiting for the final artwork, although I can show you the initial sketch now:
+
+![Meat the Sandy Circle Skirt](https://posts.freesewing.org/uploads/schets_bb8fb5c30a.png)
+
+This is Sandy, it's a circle skirt pattern, and it will be out in August. Promise :)
+
+Apart from that, thanks to some great work of [our translators](/i18n/), 
+we've also enabled our fifth language on the website: [French](/fr).
+We've seen an increase in users signing up with .fr email addresses, 
+so that goes to show that translation really does help make the site accessible to more people.
+
+Now apart from this, I don't have much to talk about that you can see right here on the site. 
+That doesn't mean we haven't been busy. Much to the contrary!
+
+I've started porting freesewing core to node.js. It's really early days so I can't really talk about it too much, but I will do so at a later date.
+
+## Looking ahead to August
+
+August will bring the release of Sandy, and we'll also celebrate our first year here at freesewing.org.
+
+Perhaps that will be a good time to talk about our plans for the future :)
