This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown

Welcome to the FreeSewing tutorial, where you'll learn how to create a made-to-measure
|
|
sewing pattern, start to finish.
|
|
|
|
You will be designing a pattern for a baby bib. It's a very simple pattern, but that's the point.
|
|
Your focus today is on learning FreeSewing and how to translate your designs into code.
|
|
|
|
At the end of this tutorial, you will have created this pattern:
|
|
|
|
<Example pattern="tutorial" part="bib" caption="Your end result" />
|
|
|
|
Before we can get started, let's make sure you have the required software
|
|
installed on your computer:
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
FreeSewing is a JavaScript library that runs on [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/).
|
|
|
|
If you don't have Node.js on your system, follow the link above and
|
|
install it on your system.
|
|
|
|
When you're done, you can test whether it works by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you get the node version number, you're all set.
