| Know before using | Listings can be owner-submitted or team-added, and affiliate or marketplace relationships are commercial influences; verify current stock, price, opening, delivery, returns, and service quality directly. | Free access does not grant commercial reproduction or sale rights; uses beyond one personal copy must be resolved with the designer or author. Knitty says it tries to avoid errors but disclaims responsibility for pattern and technique inaccuracies. Check the live page for corrections, verify gauge and measurements, and confirm permission before any commercial use. | This is a 2013 Indonesian-language vocational school textbook, not a current national competency standard, universal block or sizing system, professional qualification, ready-to-sew pattern, or proof of individual fit. Some equipment, terminology, pedagogy, body classification, formulas, measurement practices, and construction assumptions may be dated or unsuitable for another person, material, product, or production setting. Confirm current equipment instructions, target-body evidence, ease, material behavior, representative samples, accessibility, and fit evaluation before applying its methods. | A generated pattern is not independent fit evidence or a production-ready graded block. The result still depends on accurate measurements, the selected design and options, ease assumptions, fabric behavior, construction, and representative test garments. An account stores saved patterns and measurement sets, so review the platform's privacy terms before retaining personal measurements. |

| What the source establishes | The public directory exposes location and shop-type discovery, while the platform states that business listings have no monthly fee and revenue comes from affiliate partnerships and marketplace commissions. | Knitty currently publishes web-only editorial issues containing original knitting and crochet patterns and articles. Its legal page states that patterns are free for one person's personal use, identifies each designer or author as the copyright holder, and explains that verified pattern corrections are posted in bright pink on the pattern page. | Indonesia's Ministry of Education repository publishes Dasar Pola II as a 294-page vocational school book and learning module prepared by the government for the initial Curriculum 2013 implementation. The record names the Directorate for Vocational Secondary School Development and provides a direct PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 license. The textbook covers clothing foundations, materials and tools, body measurement, human dimensions, basic patterns, paper prototypes, cutting, and pattern refinement. It distinguishes commercial, drafted, draped, graded, test, production, and block patterns, and includes bodice and sleeve systems plus dart relocation, length and size changes, design-line development, and pattern testing. | FreeSewing's official documentation says the browser editor drafts a selected design in real time from a measurement set rather than scaling or grading a standard-size pattern. Users can adjust design options and export the generated result, including as PDF; saving the pattern to an account is optional and is used to revisit it later. |
