My partner wants to share a sewing pattern on the internet somewhere. She's not trying to sell it, just have it in a place where people can get it. Is there a thingiverse/printables type place for sewing stuff (that is also free to post things on, and is also not "run your own website")?

things that are not this:
- freesewing.org (neat, but does not appear to be a place intended for people to upload their own things)
- artisans.coop, etsy, other similar sites (these are storefronts, she literally just wants to share a file, the same thing 3d printing people do with thingiverse)
- a git forge (I... guess you *could* do that? is that a thing people do in practice?)

@artcollisions @freesewing neat, but seems targeted toward specifically clothing, and also not really a place that expects people to upload new things?

@Granny Art (Shrimp) (Joni) I don't know yet, but I've been toying with the idea of making my own clothing for a while now. So far the most complicated thing I've made has been a pen roll.

@me ah, so probably not interested in quilting cottons.

I've been quilting for about 25 years. I think it's time for me to start sewing my own clothing too. Or some of it anyway. I just need to start doing it.

@rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua @emily, blinkenlight witch I'm afraid most of the patterns I can think of were posted on the author's website or similar contexts

including those mentioned on sozowhatdoyouknow.blogspot.com… (I read the latest article from that blog today, just after I had seen this post 😀 )

and honestly, these days I'd recommend *also* posting them on one's own website, in case any platform they are on gets enshittified, but it would be great to have some place like that to both post and *look for* patterns.

Shout-out to @artcollisions and @bammerlaan for both pitching @freesewing much appreciated 😊

Seems like @emily is looking for a place to dump a PDF or something. That's not what FreeSewing does (my life would be so much easier if it was 😂 ) .

Emily, if your partner ever wants to get into parametric design, refer them to our contributor docs: freesewing.dev/
