Field notes
The workflow starts with a chart size or a client's measurements and an ease setting, then uses marks, lines, curves, and darts to build a draft. The site says those steps also support slash-and-spread adaptations, printed handouts, and projector output. A skirt-front frame is presented as an example, and patterns are described as ordinary files kept on the user's computer.
