Wat is FreeSewing?
FreeSewing is the leading open source library for on-demand garment manufacturing.
Loved by home sewers and fashion entrepreneurs alike, FreeSewing provides the tech stack for your creative endeavours.
FreeSewing is the brain-child of Joost De Cock, the FreeSewing maintainer. Various other people have contributed to FreeSewing over the years (the FreeSewing contributors), and the project is financially supported by the FreeSewing patrons.
For more info about FreeSewing -- the open source project -- refer to FreeSewing.dev which hosts documentation for developers, designers, contributors, and translators.
What is FreeSewing.org?
Freesewing.org is the FreeSewing project's flagship website where we offer our ever-growing collection of bespoke sewing patterns to makers all over the world.
FreeSewing is not about fashion, trends, or publishing the hot new pattern of the season. In plaats daarvan willen we makers ondersteunen door de kennis van de naaigemeenschap te bundelen in parametrische ontwerpen + documentatie, en die informatie vrij beschikbaar maken.
FreeSewing.org is our most visible asset, and for many people their first encounter with the FreeSewing project.
Patterns vs Designs
If you came to this site looking for sewing patterns and did not immeadiatly find a place to download them, that's because all of FreeSewing's sewing patterns are made to measure.
We schalen of beoordelen patronen niet. We schalen of beoordelen patronen niet. Dat gebeurt in real-time, in je browser.
- Design: One of the styles that we offer. We've got dozens of designs, and you can try them all
- Pattern: The result of drafting the design (turning it into a sewing pattern to your measurements). We hebben duizenden patronen voor onze gebruikers opgeslagen, en sommige misschien van u
Saving is optional
When you generate a bespoke pattern, you can tweak it endlessly through its various options,
and export it to a range of formats, including PDF.
But it remains ephemeral until you save it to your account, so it
becomes one of your patterns.
Saving your pattern is optional, but it allows you to re-visit the pattern later, make further tweaks to it or simply download the PDF again.
Je kunt zoveel patronen opslaan als je wilt.
We respect the strictest privacy laws on the planet
To generate bespoke sewing patterns, we need your measurements. Asking for them every time would be rather tedious, so we store them in your account.
Your account data is stored on our backend, subject to our privacy notice, and with respect for your rights.
Measurements sets
Zodra je een account hebt, kun je metingen gaan toevoegen. Maar dat brengt snel de volgende vraag op: wat als u een patroon voor u wilt, maar ook voor uw partner?
That's why we have measurements sets. You can add as many measurements sets as you like. Het is ook goed om er maar één voor u te hebben.
Curated measurements sets
FreeSewing also provides curated measurements sets. These are measurements set from real people that we use to test our platform and designs. But you can also use them to test-drive our platform before you break out the measuring tape.
Where to turn to for help
If you get stuck, consule the support page for various support options.
