## About FreeSewing
Where the world of makers and developers collide, that's where you'll find FreeSewing.
Our [core library](https://freesewing.dev/en/freesewing) is a *batteries-included* toolbox
for parametric design of sewing patterns. It's a modular system (check our list
of [plugins](https://freesewing.dev/en/plugins) and getting started is as simple as:
```bash
npm init freesewing-pattern
```
The [getting started] section on [freesewing.dev](https://freesewing.dev/) is a good
entrypoint to our documentation, but you'll find a lot more there, including
our [API documentation](https://freesewing.dev/en/freesewing/api),
as well as [examples](https://freesewing.dev/en/freesewing/examples),
and [best practices](https://freesewing.dev/en/do).
If you're a maker, checkout [freesewing.org](https://freesewing/) where you can generate
our sewing patterns adapted to your measurements.
