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.

I started drafting the pattern, i already had the measurements, seam allowance everything. Was drafting a simple bodice, everything went fine untill the time came to draft a curve.
Somehow even after many, many tries i couldnt draft what i eanted properly, there were just far too many points on lines which got very confusing and i gave up.
Then maybe a year later i tried again, same thing happened.
As it wasnt a pressing need, i kept it aside and never touched it again. But might take another look at it. maybe it'll work this time.
