The sewing instructions are in PDF format
You can use inches or centimeters
You are also able to make up these patterns and sell the items.
All in all a good little free program and has possibilities if you wish
to start a hobby/business with accessories.
There is a big market right now with accessories, your local craft
market is a good starting point and with accessories, you can make up a
range in no time and take orders as well as sell on the day.
The other advantage is, sizing, the bags are fine, hats, small, medium
and large and wraps could be one size fits all or do in small, medium
and large.
Look for different materials, I often use soft furnishing fabrics,
mainly because you can get unusual prints and patterns. You can get a
lot of tone on tone patterns which make up into classic pieces and the
width of the fabric is wider than dress fabrics, so you don’t
need as many meters/yards.
Your local boutiques are worth a try too. You may be able to
put a sample range in for people to order from or they may take your
stock on consignment.
Who knows, you could have yourself a very good little business
