This is the documentation for FreeSewing's core library, published as `@freesewing/core` on NPM.
|

It's a complete toolbox for parametric design with a primary focus on

|
sewing patterns, but can be utilized for a variety of similar 2D design tasks.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started

|
|
To get started, import the library:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import freesewing from '@freesewing/core'
|
|
```
