When you find a product you love, do you like to s

When you find a product you love, do you like to shout it from the rooftops? 📢 So does our friend, Diane, and we’re so grateful that’s exactly what she did when she first started on her MyBodyModel journey! 48 years after setting aside her goals of becoming a fashion designer, she is now the fashion designer that she always dreamed of being thanks to MyBodyModel. Here’s what Diane has to say about MyBodyModel:
“I don’t claim to be a great sketcher but with my body croquis created with the MyBodyModel app and my iPad I am able to draw clothing to see how it will look on my body. I can audition pattern views and colors and even input fabrics using another app that I love.” Since then she has told her hairdresser, her sister, her husband and kids and daughters-in-law, and all her friends, even the ones that don’t sew! MyBodyModel has given her new confidence like never before. “I feel beautiful and proud making my own clothes and wearing them confidently.” Now that’s something we want to shout from the rooftops! Hop on over to the blog to see some of Diana’s amazing sketches! #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #BulletJournal #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch #FibreMood [Image description: A grid of Diana’s croquis sketches on a white background - 4 sketches along the top and 4 rows of 6 sketches under that.]

Ciara’s sketchbook chronicles are truly inspirin

Ciara’s sketchbook chronicles are truly inspiring. After trying various sketchbooks with pro forma croquis, she has landed on MyBodyModel croquis because it reflects her unique and beautiful body shape and personal style like no other croquis can 😍 Ciara explains:
“Sewing has taught me that my body really is unique, & no mass-produced croquis was ever going to truly reflect it.” She was instantly impressed with how much her MyBodyModel croquis accurately resembled her and she chose the 8 croquis layout because of how it perfectly fits in her bullet journal. “It’s so satisfying to see my sketches come to life and how accurately I envisioned the finished projects.” Hop on over to the blog to follow along with Ciara’s sketchbook chronicles! #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #BulletJournal #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch #FibreMood [Image description: Ciara’s 8 croquis per page layout with 8 sketch croquis with fabric swatches beside each.]

Theresa (@lostmythread) finished up two Grafton Tops that she sketched using MyBodyModel including an orange long sleeve turtleneck with a fitted bodice sewn in a ribbed knit. She also sewed up a dropped sleeve long sleeve relaxed fit top sewn in a playful striped viscose jersey. Theresa had this to say about sewing up her Graftons:
“This pattern is fueling my sewing creativity like nobody’s business!” Make sure to hop on over to the MyBodyModel blog to see more sewists in the community utilize MyBodyModel in creating and sketching out their very own dream Graftons. #GraftonTop #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #BulletJournal #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch #FibreMood [Image description 1: Theresa is posing in front of a green cement wall.

With the perfect fabric already in mind and in her

With the perfect fabric already in mind and in her stash, Whitney (@tomkatstitcherycarmel) sketched out her flirty Grafton Dress and chose a square neck bodice, bishop sleeve an sketched out her flirty Grafton Dress and chose a square neck bodice, bishop sleeve and straight mini skirt. Here’s what she had to say about her dream Grafton Dress:
“I designed this dress with a Minerva French Terry fabric in mind. I’ve had this in my stash for a while and it’s always been destined to be a dress. The Grafton gave me the components to make up the flirty knit dress I was dreaming about! I love the mix and match components of this pattern. What great value for my money and with the fabulous fit I get from Cashmerette patterns!” The Grafton Dress, Top & Skirt Mix & Match Pack sewing pattern from @cashmerette features multiple bodice, skirt, sleeve, and neckline options to make over 400 possible knit dresses, tops, and skirts. All of those options could potentially be overwhelming, but with MyBodyModell you can plan your makes on a body figure that’s made to your measurements, try new looks, explore styles, and delve into your new sewing project with confidence.

For Sean’s (@qfacepaint) dream Grafton Dress she

For Sean’s (@qfacepaint) dream Grafton Dress she utilized the scoop neck, fitted bodice and bishop sleeve features. She also sketched her dress with three skirt options: A-line knee length, straight skirt midi length, and an asymmetrical draped skirt. Here’s what Sean had to say about her Grafton Dress:
“I knew I wanted to have a scoop neck and bishop sleeves, but I wanted to see the different skirt options with that combination since the fabric I would like to make it out of is more expensive and I would like to visualize my perfect Grafton. The fabric is a copper/ metaling lightweight poly and has a beautiful drape, so the movement of the A-line would be great, but also the asymmetrical skirt is perfect for this. I want to be able to wear this dress to my company’s holiday party. I need to be the best dressed and it is not too early to start.” The Grafton Dress, Top & Skirt Mix & Match Pack sewing pattern from @cashmerette features multiple bodice, skirt, sleeve, and neckline options to make over 400 possible knit dresses, tops, and skirts.

Four dresses with four completely different looks

Four dresses with four completely different looks and sketches, Kacy’s (@krakenkacy) Graftons are an array of features and fabrics. Here are the features that she chose: Red Dress – square neck fitted bodice + sleeveless + A-line skirt knee length.
Pink Dress – Turtle neck fitted bodice + bishop sleeve +A-line maxi skirt.
Black Dress- Turtle neck fitted bodice + short straight sleeve + asymmetrical skirt.
Green Dress- scoop neck fitted bodice + circle skirt. Here’s what she had to say about her Grafton Dresses:
“I had the red merino already in my stash and really wanted to put together a really sexy dress with it. When I saw the purple dress from the Grafton examples I knew it was exactly what I was looking for! The pink one is more of a dreamy dress in a soft knit with lurex for a little sparkle and a slightly loose weave with nice drape, so I thought it would pair beautifully with the bishop sleeves and maxi skirt. For the black I really wanted to do something really bold with the asymmetrical skirt as I haven’t worked with that shape before. I thought hacking the turtle neck with some cap sleeves would make a really striking silhouette. And the green was inspired by a soft printed cotton lycra I thought would be lovely for an everyday comfortable dress to wear.” When it came to her sketches she played around with a drawing app on her tablet adding some extra sketching layers to MyBodyModel. She added a layer for skin, a face, two different hair options, two undergarment options and then started sketching dresses. The Grafton Dress, Top & Skirt Mix & Match Pack sewing pattern from @cashmerette features multiple bodice, skirt, sleeve, and neckline options to make over 400 possible knit dresses, tops, and skirts.

Planning is a key step in maximizing your wardrobe and creating pieces you know you will wear and love. Members of our community have found creative ways to plan their wardrobes with the help of sketchbooks and mood boards! MyBodyModel sketcher Raylene (@scarletstitchstudio) has discovered that incorporating her body outline into her design journaling ensures that her me-makes see the light of day and helps to curate a diverse collection of garments that truly resonate with her. MyBodyModel sketcher Sarah (@thelilacelk) decided to create mood boards for her upcoming makes using her custom body model croquis. She searched online for inspiration photos, fabric swatches, and technical drawings for sewing patterns, and she used her Microsoft Surface tablet to sketch several “work/casual” looks for her collection. Sarah created beautifully designed digital mood boards to look back upon — all without the need to shuffle through stacks of fashion magazine clippings or bulky fabric swatches!

The pen and marker are tried and true tools for fashion design, but have you considered drawing digitally? Since the first MyBodyModel fashion croquis were released, our community of sewers, knitters, and all-around designers have experimented with digital techniques to produce beautiful designs. If you’re looking for the motivation to give digital sketching a try, head over to our blog where Devon shares 5 ways creators in the MyBodyModel community have designed garments using digital fashion illustration. Devon explains:
“There are so many benefits of digital fashion illustration: the ease of fixing mistakes, not having to set up or carry around drawing tools, no mess to clean up, the ability to instantly copy exact parts of one drawing onto another… These are just a few compelling reasons for giving digital drawing a try!” And don’t forget about our Black Friday Sale this week only!
