Note: menswear/womenswear has nothing to do with gender

Freesewing is gender-neutral. When we use the terms menswear or womenswear we are not talking about clothes for men or women. It is merely a category of clothing much like accessories or shoes are categories.

The category gives you an idea what to expect, and is there to help you find things. It is not a limitation, or even a suggestion, of what you can or should wear or make.

Wear whatever you want, and be proud of the things you make.

Usage

This package has 2 exports:

• patterns : (the default export) An object holding pattern constructors
• patternList : An array of pattern names
