Congratulations, you have created your first pattern. And while it's arguably rather simple, you have learned a bunch of things along the way. Let's list some of the things you've learned:
- You have learned how to setup your development environment with
npx create-freesewing-pattern - You learned how to add parts, measurements, and options to your pattern's configuration file
- You learned what a good boilerplate is to start with a new part
- You've learned how to add points and draw paths
- You learned how you can make changes in a loop to adapt the neck opening or rotate the straps until they were just right
- You learned about macros and how to use them
- You learned different methods to manipulate points and paths
- You learned about using attributes to influence the appearance of points and paths
- Your learned about what it means to draft a complete pattern
- Your learned about snippets and how to add them
- You learned how to offset a path to create seam allowance, or in our case, mark the bias tape line
- You learned how to create a paperless pattern by adding dimensions
You can find the complete code of the tutorial pattern here on GitHub.
