Joost De Cock ab3204f9f1 chore: Port FreeSewing.dev to docusaurus
The replaces the NextJS site powering FreeSewing.dev with a Docusaurus
setup. It's part of my efforts to simplify FreeSewing's setup so we can
focus on our core value proposition.

title: "Part 2: Parametric design"
---
Welcome to part 2 of this FreeSewing pattern design tutorial.
In this part I will show you how to design a bespoke
sewing pattern, start to finish.
:::tip
##### Before you start
This tutorial assumes you are familiar with the following:
- Scalable Vector Graphics
- The coordinate system
- Units in FreeSewing
- Cubic Bézier curves
Which is a lot to assume. So if you'd like you can take a quick detour
via our [Before you start guide](/guides/prerequisites). \
It's very short, but covers some basic
terminology and concepts that we'll use throughout this guide.

## Pick a template
The FreeSewing development environment ships with several templates you
can start from. I recommend you start **From scratch** as you'll learn the most
that way. But you can also start from the **Tutorial** template in which case
you will already have the end result we are aiming for today:
<div class="grid grid-cols-2 gap-2">
!['From scratch' template](./fromscratch.png)
!['Tutorial' template](./tutorial.png)
</div>
Depending on the choice you made, you will need to edit files in a different folder.
- Edit files in `design/from-scratch` if you are using the **From scratch** template
- Edit files in `design/tutorial` if you are using the **Tutorial** template
You can choose either, or even switch back and forth between both.
To follow along step-by-step with the tutorial, go to the `design/from-scratch` folder.
