## What it is
Valentina (fashionmaker) is a cross-platform desktop patternmaking program for fashion designers to create and model clothing patterns. It supports pattern drafting from standard sizing tables or individual body measurements, blending traditional pattern-making methods with modern software.

## Use cases
- create sewing patterns from body measurements
- draft clothing patterns using standard sizing tables
- model and adjust garment patterns digitally
- export pattern pieces for printing
- design made-to-measure clothing patterns
- replace manual paper pattern drafting

## When to choose
- you are a fashion designer or home sewist needing parametric pattern drafting
- you want free, open-source pattern-making software across Linux, macOS, and Windows
- you need patterns based on individual measurement sets or standard size tables

## When to avoid
- you need 3D garment simulation or fabric draping
- you want an automated fashion image generator rather than a CAD-style drafting tool
- you need a mobile or web-based pattern tool
