Changes to tutorial documentation: 1. Changed instances of `yarn` to `npm`. Remove references to installing `yarn`. 2. Changed instances of `@freesewing/new-design` to `@freesewing/studio`. 3. Changed instances of "lab" to "development environment" and `npm run lab` to `npm run org`. 4. Changed instances of Node v18.17.0 to v20.19.1. ~(I think I might have missed it in one spot. I'll submit a future PR for it.)~ I did not touch the Getting "Started with Vercel" and "Getting Started with Codespaces" tutorials. I need to take a closer look at these to see if they are still relevant or if we might want to remove them.

title: Pattern design tutorial
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Hello there, and welcome to this FreeSewing pattern design tutorial.
|
|
My name is Joost, and in this tutorial I will show you
|
|
how to design a bespoke sewing pattern, start to finish.
|
|
|
|
This tutorial is divided into three parts, allowing you to speedrun or entirely
|
|
skip certain parts depending on your interests or prior experience:
|
|
|
|
## Part 1: Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
The first sections of this tutorial, [Part 1](/tutorials/pattern-design/part1),
|
|
deals with the prerequisites. Installing node, setting up the FreeSewing
|
|
development environment on your system, and so on. If you are familiar with
|
|
the JavaScript ecosystem, I can summarize that entire section in this one-liner
|
|
that sets up the FreeSewing development environment on your system:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npx @freesewing/studio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Part 2: Parametric design
|
|
|
|
In [Part 2](/tutorials/pattern-design/part2) I will show you how to design a
|
|
parametric sewing pattern with FreeSewing. We'll create a part, add a bunch of
|
|
points, draw lines and curves, and so on.
|
|
All the basic skills required to create a sewing pattern in code.
|
|
|
|
This is probably a part you do not want to skip, unless you have prior
|
|
experience with FreeSewing and are looking for a refresh on some of the more
|
|
advanced features covered in the next section.
|
|
|
|
## Part 3: Beyond the basics
|
|
|
|
There is more to FreeSewing patterns than meets the eye, and in [Part
|
|
3](/tutorials/pattern-design/part3) I will cover some of the ways you can add
|
|
further value to your designs.
|
|
|
|
This includes things like translation, supporting laser cutters, avoiding the
|
|
need to printing with so-called _paperless patterns_, as well as how you can
|
|
configure your pattern to integrate with FreeSewing.org, or your own
|
|
frontend.
|
|
|
|
You can follow this tutorial start to finish, or skip ahead and back, the
|
|
choice is yours.
