@freesewing/plugin-gore

The @freesewing/plugin-gore plugin provides the gore macro. This macro allows you to generate gore segments — 2D panels to create a sphehrical shape as used in hats for example — to your design.

You'll be happy to hear that this plugin handles all the mathematics for you to create a (part-)sphere in your patterns.

Installation

npm install @freesewing/plugin-gore

Usage

Like all build-time plugins, you load them by passing them to the freesewing.Design super-constructor:

import freesewing from "@freesewing/core";
import gore from "@freesewing/plugin-gore";
import config from "../config";

const Pattern = new freesewing.Design(config, gore);

Now you can use the gore macro in your parts.
