It's not every day my worlds collide like this, so I'll plug https://freesewing.org/ for those of you who have an interest in making clothes and are looking for a place to start that is a good match for the hackernews crowd.

Full disclosure: I'm the freesewing maintainer



That's a cool site!

You might want to redirect http:// to https:// right now if I type "freesewing.org" into my browser it heads to a "Apache2 Debian Default Page".


Thanks for the heads-up, I had no idea. I'll fix it ASAP.


Looking through the website... is there a link to the Patreon account?

All of the Patreon links so far just seem to be hugely overboard "sign up" ones, with nothing linking to the actual account.

Guessing I didn't spot something obvious? :)


We don't use patreon. Patrons can subscribe directly through PayPal. We don't need the Patreon approach because everything on the site is available for free. Being a patron is completely optional.

The reason why you need an account is explained in the FAQ on our new beta site: https://beta.freesewing.org/en/docs/faq

It boils down to the fact that all are patterns are made-to-measure. So we need your measurements, thus we need a way to store them. That's why a (free) account is needed.

There's no catch.
