LB I didn't wanna derail that thread but if you're looking for sewing patterns and you have the measurements of who you're making something for (and tbh a size chart might work too), please check out freesewing.org where patterns cost exactly how much it costs you to print them! Unless you have a projector because they also have a mode for that, so you can save paper and spend $0 more than what you already paid for the projector

Little shoutout to #freesewing !

✨ freesewing.org/ ✨

Freesewing is a crazy bonkers amazing open source project that lets people create patterns and clothes based on their measurements and preferences.

It is very cool to use, and the code behind is just as impressive !

It's super inclusive and free, I encourage anyone remotely curious to check it out !

Today at #koppelting we will start to develop and build a diy rainwater-to-toilets system, work on communication systems for grassroots communities, make #freesewing spit out lasercuttable patterns, start a discovery lab for children and continue to work on reopening the biolab. Drop by if you have time!

More changes in #FreeSewing v3: Our backend is now open to everyone. If you have a FreeSewing account you can generate API keys to connect to the FreeSewing backend and access your measurements (or the ones we provide).

Curious to see what people will build on top of this. I have some ideas :)

As part of our v3 migration, I have setup a Mastodon instance for #FreeSewing at freesewing.social

It's open for the community at large. There's an approval step, but that's just to keep the trolls at bay.

Announcement here: freesewing.org/blog/announcing

Note that FreeSewing (as well as myself) will also leave that bird site.

For the last ... checks notes ... 14 months I've been working on the next major release of FreeSewing. The core software itself was ready at the end of September, but I still have to put the finishing touches on the website migration.

That is done now, and (the completely new) FreeSewing.org now runs v3.

There's a ton of new stuff, so I'll link to this umbrella post with an overview: freesewing.org/blog/v3-umbrell

Spread the word because this is big news #FreeSewing

A graphic with FreeSewing branching saying "The wait is over FreeSewing.org now runs v3" and then at the bottom in a smaller size "It's only that thing I've been working on for the last 14 months, no biggie"

Finished the hoodie! pretty pleased with the results. The entire thing - hoodie and the sweat pants I finished the other weekend are deadstock fabric. End of the roll, saved from the dump. Zipper is from an old favourite hoodie that had been loved so long it reached end of life.

@pcalvin as a fellow #MenWhoSew with non-standard body proportions, I would steer you toward #FreeSewing , freesewing.org , where you can generate garment patterns to your own body measurements.

My first project after graduating from simple repairs was my first pair of trousers, to a FreeSewing pattern, and following a series of videos by the same project lead. Steep learning curve, but those pants are still some of the best I've made (and I've gone on to make many... "What are you making now Dad? More pants?").

I'm another cyclist - all thighs and bum, little waist - and it is revolutionary to have pants that I can get into that don't gape at the waist. My FreeSewing patterns weren't perfect and have taken some tweaking, but they fit better than anything off the hook.

Another (less ambitious) path is to start with bags and gear. zipworks.shinyapps.io/generato makes good zip pouches, and there are plenty of drawstring stuff sack tutorials to follow. Everyone needs more sacks and pouches!
