@futurebird a few years ago @mlemweb led an interview of authors of a python library for cross stitch patterns on the #fossandcrafts podcast

Perhaps they have a method for printing out the patterns like you want

Also, perhaps the #FreeSoftWear community has suggestions

I think there's a #HackAndCraft call going on right now

@xgebi I don't know of a marketplace, but I can recommend at least one indie designer and a couple other hopefully useful websites

the one indie designer I've bought (and actually sewn¹ :D ) more pattern from is scroop patterns / the dreamstress, who is not in the US (she's in NZ), and sells directly from her site
scrooppatterns.com/
of course that's just a handful of specific looks

There is another indie I've bought something from, Liz Haywood from AU, but she sells via etsy. :(

Then there is freesewing.org/ (free as in #freeSoftWear) that aren't traditional patterns, but made-to-measure ones and work in a bit of a different way. They have published freesewing.org/blog/us-and-eu/ on the topic of getting away from the US, and are here on the fediverse.

And lastly I follow a blog (the author is in the UK) that does reviews of free patterns: many are from the websites of indie designers (other from bigger sites) and may be a good source for additional sources of patterns.

¹ they aren't a lot because I enjoy drafting my own patterns

Venerdì è stata una giornata no, con continui fallimenti nel cercare di rifinire i margini dei dietro con lo sbieco, quindi ho messo tutto da parte e mi son dimenticata dei jeans per tutto il weekend.

Ieri sono bene o male riuscita a rifinire i margini e ho cucito i davanti ai dietro, cominciando ad avere qualcosa a forma di pantalone.

E stamattina ho fatto gli orli, attaccato uno dei cinturini (quello sagomato: sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/… ) e iniziato la prima cucitura dell'altro.

Inizio a vedere la fine :)

Friday was a bit of a mess, with some failures while binding the raw edges of the backs, so I postponed them and forgot about the jeans for the weekend.

Yesterday I sort of managed to bind the edges (well enough) and I sewed the front and backs together, so that they started to actually look like trousers.

And this morning I've done the hems, attached one of the waistbands (the shaped one: sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/… ) and started the first seam on the other one.

I'm starting to see the end of this project :)
