Hello all in the Seamly2D community. I am a new hobby-sewist learning to use InkScape & Seamly2D software. My name is David, a 74-year old amateur sewist living in Krefeld (near Düsseldorf), Germany. I am a retired computer, IT (formerly EDP), field engineer, and programmer. Sewing is my way of keeping my mind as active as my fitness-training keeps my physical wellbeing up to ‘scratch’. I came to sewing / drafting & Seamly2D because I have noted the lack of well-fitting, off-the-shelf, clothing. Additionally, the dearth of good commercial patterns for menswear is somewhat disappointing. Having already drafted a pair of men’s trousers directly to cloth—with some success, might I proudly add—I hope to develop enough skill to draft my own patterns using InkScape/Seamly2D with which to create new garments. It is not particularly easy, but since I started using the software recently, I do not expect to have created anything original very soon. I hope to have a good time pattern drafting, sewing, garment constructing and having informative exchanges in this forum!
