Miscellaneous
Joost is the creator of freesewing.org Makers, designers and developers contribute to this free resources so there are sewing patterns anyone can access for free, as the name free sewing suggests. These designs have been used by previous men who sew podcasts guests Wouter.vdub and Enno Swets. FreeSewing is an open source software project with the aim of becoming the Wikipedia of sewing patterns. 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. Instead, the contributors want to empower makers by distilling the knowledge of the sewing community into parametric designs + documentation, and make that information freely available. Make sure you go back and listen to all of the podcasts in this series for Sewover50. There are more to come so make sure you subscribe to Sew Organised Style.
