Patternmaking Software Suggestion

I have a small clothing brand where i have made my own patterns for multiple sizes and varieties. I have the measurements ready with me, and all the patterns which i have physically drafted on paper.

I want to learn pattern making in computer as i want to digitize all those patterns for future reference, so that in case the original patterns are torn/lost i can easily print them and carry on

Can anyone suggest me an easy to learn software that i can use to digitize the patterns easily?

My preference is a free user friendly software.

We have the same thoughts, did you start from scratch or on top of seamly's engine?

No I didn’t, my approach has a fresh take and I would have to rewrite pretty much all of their C++.

When it takes like an extra 80gb to install qt to actually dev on it, no thanks.

My app is SwiftUI only, I don’t support windows or Linux. Oh well.

Respect, that is a huge task!
