Valentina
Valentina is clothing-pattern software for building and modeling patterns, with an emphasis on parametric sizing. Measurements, increments, formulas, and construction rules can be used to rearrange patterns. It supports 2D pattern making and size grading, and exports SVG, PDF, PNG, OBJ, PS, EPS, and DXF. The software runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Stable downloads list an AppImage for Linux, Windows 7+ 32-bit and Windows 10+ 64-bit packages, and macOS packages for Intel, Apple Silicon, and Universal systems. Valentina is GPLv3+ licensed, and its FAQ says there are no restrictions on the kind of work made with it. It supports.val files from Seamly2D, though the reverse compatibility is not supported; DXF import is unavailable. The Free plan is free and includes source code access, historical versions, and community support, but no current binaries, manual, or developer support. Basic is €8.26 a month and Premium is €16.51 a month.
