The FreeSewing Forum is an online community space for FreeSewing users. It hosts discussions about sewing patterns, provides help resources for FreeSewing software, accounts, and websites, and includes topics for community calls and design showcases.
FreeSewing is open source software that generates bespoke sewing patterns. It is intended for home sewers and fashion entrepreneurs, offering a library of parametric designs that users can customize with their measurements to create personalized patterns. The project does not sell products, display advertising, track users, or sell personal data, and is financially supported by patron contributions.
RSN Stitch Bank is a miscellaneous web resource for discovery, directories, archives, web culture, or useful tools.
PinDIY is a miscellaneous web resource for discovery, directories, archives, web culture, or useful tools.
This Craft Yarn Council learning resource provides step-by-step beginner knitting instructions, including casting on and knit stitch (garter stitch) steps, along with required materials to create a 7-inch by 9-inch practice knit block. Completed blocks can be joined to make afghans for the Warm Up America charitable initiative.
Antique Pattern Library is an ongoing project that scans public domain craft pattern publications to preserve craft heritage. It provides free, graphically edited scans of patterns for activities including knitting, crochet, embroidery, lacework, sewing, woodworking, and bookbinding, available for educational, personal, artistic and other creative uses. The project also seeks trained librarians or humanities scholars to assist with cataloguing work.
firstVIEW is an online archive of current and past fashion runway collections from major global fashion capitals. Launched in 1995, it holds more than 5 million photographs and hundreds of videos documenting fashion history. All content is available for licensing for print, web and social media use.
