Did not expect to see sewing patterns here either, let alone have my side-project mentioned in the first comment.

Thank you so much for the shout-out

Your hoodie is still the one thing I show people who are overly surprised when I tell them I picked up sewing a long while back and you can create proper clothes with it. Mine fits perfectly, looks like a "real" hoodie in and out and gets everyone very curious to try making one once they've seen the real thing. So, yeah, thanks for putting in the time to make that (and the videos for it).
Would you share the link to that particular hoodie pattern? I’m interested in trying to make it :)
Looks like this is the page of designs: https://freesewing.org/designs/ I see three different hoodies on there, with the Hugo looking most conventional.
That's correct, sorry I didn't see the comment there — it's the Hugo I made a couple of times, also adapted to my girlfriend and worked right out of the box.
thank you!
Hi Joost, LearnMYOG is my site. Never imagined seeing HN community be interested :) FreeSewing.org is an amazing project and its really impressive how you're using javascript to create adaptable patterns. Many of my community have experimented with your patterns as well!
Hey thanks so much let's be friends
Well thank you for making it! So much knowledge is kept being lock and key and here you are helping set it free. You're a good person
