Those that checked on this blog in 2017 and the first half of 2018 may have noticed a shortage of new articles, something I hope to put right in the second half 2018.  

I have been putting together a mechanism for sharing latex patterns that allows the patterns to be customised automatically to your own measurements.  This has entailed getting to grips with an excellent open-source pattern development program ‘Seamly 2D’ and building an infrastructure for sharing the patterns online. 

The first pattern will be a revival of the stockings project.   If people find automatically customisable patterns useful then I’ll go on to work through a series of basic patterns from which you can build on with your own ideas.
