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 June
After the mad scramble in May to get the new site ready for the GDPR deadline,
June has (thankfully) been a bit let hectic.
Not that we haven't been busy. 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](/designs/penelope).
The pattern was designed by [@woutervdub](/users/user?id=132), it's his second
pattern after he previously made [Benjamin](/designs/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.
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/user?id=1230), 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.
