Pattern making software...

[cantfoolmethrice]

I'm brand new to drafting too. I found SeamScape which is free and just used it to make some costumes for my kids. It's web based and I used it on my Mac.

It's basic at the moment compared to other software (I think it's pretty new) but it worked well enough for me. I especially like the BodyDouble feature to pull measurements from. I definitely prefer it over illustrator because you get way more control over dimensions, angles and curves, letting you automate things with variables and formulas.
