“Realizing that I spend most of my down time aro

“Realizing that I spend most of my down time around the house (and family) in ratty pj’s, I’ve wanted to up my loungewear game for a while. Apparently this was on my mind as I was collecting several coordinating scraps of silky fabrics.” Who can relate? ✋ So, our friend Pamela did something about it and created a scrap-busting lingerie capsule collection. She found that MyBodyModel’s 8 croquis on a page layout was the perfect way to think through a mini capsule of robe, camisoles, and shorts. Pamela says:
“This experiment has been so successful, I can’t wait to plan out ways to use all my little bits of activewear fabric!” Hop on over to our blog to check out her glama-mama mini lingerie capsule collection! #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #BulletJournal #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch #FibreMood [Image description: Pam’s 8 sketched croquis on a page layout of her mini lingerie capsule collection.]

Organize, document, plan and everything in between

Organize, document, plan and everything in between, MyBodyModel is helping sewists across the globe streamline their sewing process. 🧵🧵 Our friend Nathalie of @flowcouture.be takes us through her process and shares how drawing on her body model croquis not only gave her a more precise image of her body but also better organized her projects - from documenting to planning her sewing, to discovering her signature style. This is what Nathalie had to say:
“Drawing my makes is now completely part of my sewing process, all the way from making mood boards, to planning and documenting my makes. I really enjoy it!” How do you plan and document your garment making projects?

Our friend, @arlandria606 found it difficult to pr

Our friend, @arlandria606 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.” Don’t you love it when it all comes together? Us too. ☺️ Hop on over to the blog to read more about how Victoria has utilized paper dolls to plan outfits that mix handknit and handsewn items into her wardrobe, and plans future projects to make sure they get worn. #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.

This handmade Italian travel wardrobe is filling us with Felicità (happiness 😉) Whitney of @whitneygetsdressed used her MyBodyModel fashion croquis to plan an entirely handmade travel wardrobe for a month-long trip to Italy. Now, thinking back on the heat waves and affogati of her Italian summer, Whitney reflects on the me-made items in her handmade wardrobe that she wore during her travels. She says:
“From days when it was too hot to do anything but hang out at home drinking an Aperol spritz, to spontaneous lunches at sidewalk cafes, to the pre-wedding dinner at an incredible trattoria in the middle of nowhere, I felt like I always had just the right outfit for whatever adventures came our way each day. “ If you’re planning on a handmade travel wardrobe for any upcoming summer travels, you’re definitely going to want to hop over to our blog to read more about Whitney’s wardrobe. #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #BulletJournal #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch #FibreMood [Image description: Whitney’s sketched me-made travel wardrobe packing list is laying in a suitcase surrounded by clothes and fabrics.]

We’re loving this Monochrome Capsule Wardrobe Collection! Far from boring, our friend Eri of @sketchknitsew used their MyBodyModel croquis to design a 3×3 monochromatic capsule wardrobe collection. Eri says:
“I like to do fashion sketches and have done plenty of them during the years, but when I tried MyBodyModel for the first time I was taken by the innovation, adding my measurements to an app and seeing a small drawing that looked like my body! I don’t know how to express what it felt like, but I loved how I can see a preview of how the clothes are going to look on myself, how I can style my clothes, or combine them. It’s fun and empowering to be able to draw on your own body shape.” Hop on over to our blog to see the nine favorite outfits she created for her 3×3 monochrome capsule collection.
