What is Valentina?
Valentina allows you to create patterns from simple to complex, where you control the entire patternmaking process. Valentina is open source sofwware. You have the right to use, sell, share, and distribute your patterns in any way you wish.

Valentina allows digital custom patternmaking using proven traditional patternmaking formulas. Here's the workflow: You select a body measurement file, enter your formulas, add seam allowances and other details, generate a layout image of the final pattern pieces, then print or save that image. Valentina's daughter application Tape allows you to create measurement files for yourself and other individuals. You can also create multisize (standard) tables.

Valentina is available on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux. Download Valentina from the Valentina website.
