There’s nothing that brings us more joy than making it possible to sew garments that suit all varying and beautiful shapes. And we abide by the notion that designing on a body figure that looks like you can be empowering and even life changing.

We especially love it when somebody tries our app for the first time and has an incredible experience. In fact we live for it!

This is where Mel comes in. She tried MyBodyModel after hearing about it on a sewing podcast and it has not only ignited her creativity but has cut down tremendously on wasted fabric and time.

She explains:
“I have found MyBodyModel so useful and it makes my sewing feel even more creative now that I have incorporated the planning/sketching step into my sewing routine. I have so far loved everything that I have made and I feel that they all suit my body shape just fine, so no wasted fabric or time!”

Mel created three outfits that she was able to plan and execute to perfection with MyBodyModel.

What kills your sewjo? 😳 For Pam it was trying

What kills your sewjo? 😳

For Pam it was trying to use fabric that she didn’t really love and then seeing her makes on her actual body. She explains:

“Whether it was a poor color choice or a less-than-flattering silhouette, it was not what I had envisioned when looking at the pattern artwork. Those idealized images are pretty and all, but not representative of the average body.”

But then she came across MyBodyModel and planning future makes with the help of MyBodyModel has her very excited to sew again. Welcome back sewjo!

“I like seeing a silhouette on my actual shape before deciding if that’s the piece I want to make. The MyBodyModel croquis are nothing short of miraculous in their accuracy and I find drawing my ideas takes away some of the fear factor of cutting into all that beautiful fabric.”

Thandi is making her handmade wardrobe as a way to

Thandi is making her handmade wardrobe as a way to take back ownership of her body and learn to love it for what it is rather than what she thinks it should be. At MyBodyModel that’s something that we can get behind 💯

Thandi explains:
“Sewing fosters a new, brighter relationship with my body that I can enjoy, producing garments I can be proud of.”

She goes on to say that one of the unfortunate side-effects of years of trying to hide her body was years of very sad ready-to-wear clothing in large scale floral polyester with enormous buttons. 😱

In addition she has no idea what actually constitutes her personal style.

“Am I a t-shirt and jeans girl? Do I like jumpsuits? Wide legs or skinnies? A-line dresses or gathered waists? All I know right now is that I love stripes, and that’s not terribly helpful. To make it harder to choose a pattern for my curves the garment illustrations on the patterns generally only show “regular” bodies, which isn’t helpful for a very curvy sewist who is already anxious about how clothes look on her body.”

This is where the MyBodyModel App comes to the rescue. Not only does the image of yourself really put your body shape and size into literal perspective, but it gives you the opportunity to play with silhouettes and styles which you might not otherwise try.

When it comes to sewing, Ciara has learned that he

When it comes to sewing, Ciara has learned that her body is truly unique and no mass-produced croquis is ever going to truly reflect it. Good thing for MyBodyModel’s custom fashion croquis templates using your real body measurements!

Based on the proportions of her unique body she has developed specific preferences for how she prefers to dress. Ciara explains her preferences:

“I don’t think a pronounced sleeve head does my narrow, slightly sloped shoulders any favors. I have a short torso & a prominent belly, so I really prefer waistbands to hit at my natural waist—not too high & not too low. I have long legs, which I think are best showcased by skirts hemmed just above the knee.”

Perfect. Now not only is she aware of her specific proportions, she also knows what she likes and what she doesn’t. She continues:

“I was really impressed with how much my croquis resembled me. I instantly printed out the eight croquis page, because I’m all about rationing paper and I like to see a selection of outfit ideas side-by-side so I can think creatively about how to combine pieces into different outfits. I cracked open my bullet journal to my master list of planned sewing projects & started sketching.”

Now to the fun part - sketching! Designing on a body figure that looks like you can be empowering and even life changing. Hop on over to the blog for more sketchbook inspiration! (link in bio)

With a new year comes all the new year’s goals.

With a new year comes all the new year’s goals. Using MyBodyModel as a sewing planner is a practical way to visualize what you may want to be wearing and sewing throughout the upcoming year.

There’s also something really powerful about putting images down on paper as a way to get more clear about what I really want when it comes to life and to sewing. Erica explains:

“The more I draw my dreams on my body model croquis, the easier it is to see myself being that person that I want to be and wearing those things.”

Erica outlines her sewing goals for the new year including an unstructured blazer, a jumpsuit, and a white boho top.

With so many great jacket sewing patterns out there, it can be hard to choose where to start! Sierra used her digital MyBodyModel as a virtual fitting room to “try on” the different silhouettes, colors, and fabrics that are on her wishlist – including both neutral and BOLD choices!

And she created a jacket smorgasbord! 🧥🧥🧥

Sierra explains:
“I have fabric for most of these jackets, and I have a feeling that I’m going to be making outerwear for the foreseeable future. I am really excited to play with design details on my croquis before making the final garment.”

It’s our friend Diane again giving us one more reason why she loves her MyBodyModel app—auditioning fabrics! 🤩🤩

Diane explains:

“Another way I use the Sketch Club app is to audition fabrics in my sketches. By taking a photo of the fabric (or using a photo from the vendor’s website) you can sketch over the fabric and get an idea of how it will look made up in your garment.”

With the ebbs and flows of life, sometimes we just

With the ebbs and flows of life, sometimes we just don’t feel as inspired to pursue our creative endeavors. But it’s how we recover from these dips that make all the difference.

Kelsey had to work herself out of her own creative funk and luckily, she documented the process that she used to get her sew-jo back. For her it was using MyBodyModel to sketch and plan a new me-made capsule wardrobe. Once she dug into the colors, fabrics, and templates, the inspiration began to flow once again.

Here’s what Kelsey had to say:

“But like with everything in life, it’s easy to lose focus and passion for something you once loved. As the year progressed, I found that I wasn’t intentional about what I was making. I found myself jumping from one project to the next and the joy that I had once found while sewing was starting to fade away. I knew something had to shift because I didn’t want to let go of this hobby.”

With the help of MyBodyModel she was able to regroup and spoiler - the result was an assortment of beautiful new sketches and a renewed vigor for her beloved sewing.💕💕

There are so many benefits to using a digital sket

There are so many benefits to using a digital sketchbook—all the fun of having a full artist studio without having to worry about storing everything or keeping track of supplies and drawings. Plus it’s just so much fun!

While we all may love the feel and process of working on paper, we’re finding it increasingly rewarding and enjoyable to work in a digital format.

Guest blogger Dr. T did some digging and found her favorite free digital art apps that are fantastic to use with MyBodyModel for digital sewing planning and fashion design. Here’s the list!

😍Adobe Draw
😍 Adobe Sketch
😍 Autodesk SketchBook
😍 Concepts
😍 MediBang Paint
😍 Tayasui Sketches

“I’d highly recommend testing out several of the free apps yourself to see which you like the best. I think that the apps you will enjoy the most will depend on what sort of art style you enjoy, and how much control you like to have over the different tools, and how simple or complicated you want your app to be.”
