I don't know enough about sewing or programmable vector designs (heck, I don't even know what it's call). So, I can't really contribute to the project. But I really want it to grow, so I promote it wherever I can.

I dream of it taking off like blender or Wikipedia and eventually having an archive of thousands of designs. Even, if most people wont sew their own it would help some people start small businesses creating quality clothing.

On the concept of blender, I've been recently trying to get into Seamly2D/Valentina for pattern drafting - I'd love to see some kind of simple integration format between the two so that the FreeSewing patterns can be easily loaded into Seamly2D instead so the measurement files can be used from there and the pattern tweaked.
