It’s our friend Diane again giving us one more r

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.” Diane utilizes her MyBodyModel app and goes from sketch to a dazzling finished project! What’s your favorite way to use MyBodyModel? #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #BulletJournal #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch #FibreMood [Image description: A side-by-side image of Diane’s cold-shoulder pink floral cotton lawn sketch paired with a picture of Diane wearing the final product posing in her backyard.]

There’s nothing that brings us more joy than mak

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. #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #BulletJournal #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch #FibreMood [Image description: Mel’s croquis sketches on a white piece of paper clipped to a clipboard which is lying on a white desk surrounded by floral fabric, thread, scissors, and markers.]

One of our favorite pieces of feedback that we get

One of our favorite pieces of feedback that we get at MyBodyModel is how it helps users look at their bodies in a whole new way. 💖 Here’s what Mirielle had to say about how MyBodyModel has helped her to honor her body rather than criticize it through her sewing project planning and style exploration: “MyBodyModel has helped me to look at my own body in a whole new way. I’ve learned not to see it as a problem, but a beautiful temple that I will seek to honor. While drawing, I learned to play with my curves and this shift makes a huge difference. It may just be a beginning, but it’s a real and significant change.” With MyBodyModel printable fashion templates, you can plan your makes on a sketch model made to your measurements. And this in and of itself can be life changing. Give it a try and see what you think. Head on over to mybodymodel.com to get started. #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch [Image description: A photo of Mirielle wearing a polka dot blouse that she created with the help of MyBodyModel.

It’s summer capsule wardrobe time! ☀️ Today

It’s summer capsule wardrobe time! ☀️ Today our friend Jaylyn is giving us a sneak peek into her wardrobe capsule process. From planning to sketching to sewing, MyBodyModel helped facilitate every aspect. She started with a list of 23 patterns, drew them out and narrowed them down by ones that she thought looked the best, already had the fabric in her stash for, and that she could create several outfits with each pattern which ultimately helps her capsule go even further. We’re loving the sound of this! ❤️ Here’s what Jaylyn had to say: “Being able to plan this way is exactly what I love about having a custom croquis! Instead of just writing a list of patterns, sewing them all up and hoping it turns out well, I can see what my collection looks like together. I can see how the patterns will look on me, what pieces can pair well together, and even plan out fabrics so that everything will coordinate to make a cohesive wardrobe!” What’s in your sewing queue? Do you just plan one make at a time or do you like to make some type of “collection”? #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #BulletJournal #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch #FibreMood [Image description: Jaylyn’s 8-per-page summer capsule wardrobe sketches on a piece of paper sitting on her desk.]

Our friend, Victoria, found it difficult to predic

Our friend, Victoria, found it difficult to predict the end result of her knitting projects. So, she started using her custom sketch templates from MyBodyModel to visualize and focus her knitting project ideas, paper doll style! The result was beautiful and versatile knitted garments that complement her personal style, her body, and her wardrobe. 👏 Here’s what Victoria had to say: “By seeing which items of my existing wardrobe work well shape-wise, I can make a more informed choice about what yarn to use to knit. I can see which colours will coordinate in a way I like, and whether it should be a solid, semi-solid, or speckled yarn, for example.
And then it all comes together.” Victoria consistently utilizes paper dolls to plan outfits that mix handknit and hand sewn items into her wardrobe, and plans future projects to make sure they get worn. Don’t you love it when it all comes together? Us too. #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #BulletJournal #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch #FibreMood [Image description: Victoria’s sketchbook open to a knitting project with pattern details and paper doll garments.

Here’s a question 🤔 Does planning out your m

Here’s a question 🤔 Does planning out your makes stifle your creativity or does it make you feel more inspired? For our friend Kelsey, planning out her me-made capsule wardrobe sent her on a journey of inspiration and creativity that reignited her love of sewing. But honestly, we’ve seen it go both ways. Kelsey used MyBodyModel to plan out fabric and color combinations on a sketch that actually looked like her. As a result, her planning and sketching have gone next level and she’s back to her love sewing and is excited to start cutting into her fabric. 😍 #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #BulletJournal #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch #FibreMood [Image description: A line of Kelsey’s fabrics in a horizontal grid with 12 of Kelseys sketches underneath.]

We’ve got the low-down on sewing project planner

We’ve got the low-down on sewing project planners from Elana! 📋 When Elana needed a way to organize her ideas and stay motivated, she turned to investing in her own personalized planner. Using Microsoft Publisher, Elana was able to create the planner of her dreams, altering it to fit her needs and wants. She says: “I designed my own planner using Microsoft Publisher, pulling inspiration from several printable options that weren’t exactly what I wanted. I love that I am able to add my MyBodyModel custom croquis to any page and can make my own sketching layouts.” She also provides a number of recommendations for readymade options. From there she plans, visualizes, chooses fabric and sketches staying focused but also flexible. “My personalized sewing planner is in a three ring binder so if plans change, I can just move that project page. When I come back to it later, I know at a glance what I wanted to do. I am a fairly indecisive person who also wants to sew all.the.things, so having this visual system really helps to maximize my sewing time by keeping me focused and cutting down on time between projects.” She goes on to say: “I know my system is working because I’ve already completed several projects.” We love when a plan works, don’t you? #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch [Image description 1: A stack of Elana’s go-to tools for sewing project planning laid out on her desk includes her planner surrounded by colorful pens, a pencil and a cup of coffee.] [Image description 2: Elana’s “Projects to Make” pages from her planner laid out on her desk surrounded by pens and stickers.]

Part ✌️of recommended apps for digital sketchi

Part ✌️of recommended apps for digital sketching! Recently, we highlighted guest blogger Dr. T’s recommendations on her top 6 favorite free digital art apps for digital planning and fashion design. Next up? Her 3 favorite paid apps. 😍 Notability
😍 Procreate
😍 Sketch Club Dr. T goes on to explain that all of these apps have features that make them great tools for using with MyBodyModel as part of a digital planning process. But in the end it depends what you are looking for in an app. ✅ Want something super simple? I’d go with Adobe Draw or Adobe Sketch.
✅ Want an all-in-one notebook planner and quick sketch app? Notability, hands down.
✅ Want maximum functionality for minimum price? Medibang Paint is a great bargain.
✅ Want to create beautiful works of art? Procreate, SketchBook, and Sketches are all great options. She goes on to say: “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.” What drawing apps have you tried for fashion illustration with MyBodyModel? Do you have a favorite drawing app for iOS or Android? Let us know in the comments below! [Image description: A screenshot of Dr. T using the Sketch Club app to create 8 croquis sketches.]
