The `measurements` key in the pattern configuration file allows you to configure
|
|
the measurments that are required to draft the pattern.
|
|
|
|
## Structure
|
|
|
|
An array of strings where the strings are the names of the measurements
|
|
required to draft this pattern.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
measurements: [
|
|
"bicepsCircumference",
|
|
"centerBackNeckToWaist"
|
|
]
|
|
```

###### Don't just make up names
|
|
|
|
See [freesewing models](https://freesewing.dev/reference/packages/models)
|
|
for a list of measurement names already used in freesewing patterns.
|
|
It is a [best practice](/guides/best-practices/reuse-measurements/) to stick to these names.
