title: The FreeSewing development environment
|
|
order: 30
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
If you have been to FreeSewing.org the FreeSewing development environment will look familiar.
|
|
That's because under the hood, it re-uses the same building blocks.
|
|
|
|
At the top of the page is the header with a row of icons that lay out what is available to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From left to right you can see:
|
|
|
|
- **Home** will take you to the home page / welcome page
|
|
- **Design** will offer you a list of templates to start a design from (more on this below)
|
|
- **Documentation** will show a page with links to our documentation
|
|
- **Code** will show a page with links to our source code
|
|
- **Support** will show a page with the various ways you can get help
|
|
- **Theme** allows you to change the theme (in other works the color scheme)
|
|
- **Language** allows you to change the language
|
|
- **Sign In** allows you to sign in to your FreeSewing account so you can use
|
|
your (and our) measurements sets while designing
|
|
|
|
## Design templates
|
|
|
|
If you click the **Design** icon it will show this menu:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It allows you to choose a design template to start from. The following templates are included:
|
|
|
|
- **From scratch**: Start with an (almost) empty design
|
|
- **Tutorial**: Start with the end result of this very tutorial
|
|
- **From Brian**: Start with a design that extends [Brian](https://freesewing.org/designs/brian)
|
|
- **From Bent**: Start with a design that extends [Bent](https://freesewing.org/designs/bent)
|
|
- **From Titan**: Start with a design that extends [Titan](https://freesewing.org/designs/titan)
|
|
- **From Bella**: Start with a design that extends [Bella](https://freesewing.org/designs/bella)
|
|
- **From Breanna**: Start with a design that extends [Breanna](https://freesewing.org/designs/breanna)
|
|
|
|
For the following along this tutorial, you have two options:
|
|
|
|
- Pick **Tutorial** if you prefer to read along, make small changes, and see how they affect the design.
|
|
- Pick **From scratch** if you prefer to actively participate by recreating the design in this tutorial.
|
|
|
|
I recommend the latter. You will learn (and remember) a lot more if you are actively engaging.
