FreeSewing provides a core library for parametric pattern design, an ever-growing library of designs implemented in code, as well as a bunch of adjacent tools for building modern interfaces on top of our platform. FreeSewing is not interested in fashion, trends, or publishing the hot new pattern of the season.
