It's been an amazing five years! Thank you to everyone who has supported #MyBodyModel and our mission of body positive fashion drawing and design!⁠
⁠
I’ve made the difficult decision to close MyBodyModel on December 15 of this year.⁠
⁠
MyBodyModel has been a true community effort from the beginning. The technology we created is an amazing tool that has transformed the way thousands of people view their bodies and their clothes. I’m so proud of what we built and the number of people that we’ve impacted. It’s been an incredible journey, and I am so thankful to everyone who has been a part of it.⁠
⁠
The site will be available through December 15, 2022 at midnight Eastern Time.⁠
⁠
My hope is for as many people as possible to have the opportunity to use our innovative website software while it’s still available. ⁠
⁠
If you haven’t created your MyBodyModel yet, remember it’s FREE to enter your measurements in the website and create a preview, so give it a try before it’s gone!⁠
⁠
If you want your own MyBodyModel croquis and printable/digital fashion sketchbook, it's not too late!⁠
⁠
Enter promo code THANKYOU20 for 20% off.⁠

We’ll be counting down to December with a celebration of five years of body diversity and body-positive design with MyBodyModel, including special giveaways and discounts.⁠

New blog post! Pam @rocketcitysewist wanted a non-selfie way to document #memademay ...So she used her new digital drawing skills and #MyBodyModel to create a delightful and FUN visual archive of her #me-made outfits and the places she went in them! 🤩 This is such a great idea that we're hosting a little #sketchmycloset challenge this month for anyone who wants to participate - Stay tuned for info! And be sure to check out Pam's full post at mybodymodel.com/blog or click the link in bio, and see her latest outfits in her stories this month!⁠
⁠
Pam writes, "Last year for Me Made May, I documented my daily outfits using my personal croquis from @mybodymodel. The thing I kept repeating was just how fun it was to document my makes in this way without the pressure of taking a daily selfie. (I know…not really a selfie challenge, but still…) Go check it out! Special thanks to Erica for reaching out and giving me the chance to show off my digital outfits! I’m still sketching this May and posting them to my stories."⁠
⁠
Thank you, Pam!! Who's inspired to try sketching your outfits for Me Made May? Let us know in the comments! ⁠

Who plays paper dolls at age 71? Louisa @damselfly

Who plays paper dolls at age 71? Louisa @damselfly.ca that's who! She says, "You can still play with clothes and fashion even if you aren’t young!" An avid gardener, Louisa @damselfly.ca was recently inspired by the noisy crows in her garden to design & sew a 9-piece capsule collection of versatile layers in shades of black, near-black, and dark gray.
How did she do it? By using her #MyBodyModel paper doll to sketch and play with outfits & layering combinations, of course! Click the link in bio, or go to mybodymodel.com/blog to see her step-by-step process for designing and sewing her collection, all the way from sketch to finished! @helens__closet #BlackwoodCardigan

Help me choose! ✂Maxi, midi, or knee-length? I'm usually a solids person, but I fell hard for this gorgeous floral #riflepaperco rayon challis. I wanted to visualize how this bold print would look at 3 different lengths, so I used my 3-models page from #MyBodyModel Project Planner to sketch each option, printed a page with a photo of the fabric, then cut out a little stencil window for each skirt to see how the fabric will look 🤩 I love being able to play with proportions before cutting into precious fabric. One slight problem: I love them all! I'd love to know: Which length is your favorite? #mybodymodelcroquis #paperdollsforgrownups #sewingsketch #sewingplans #sketchandsew #fashionsketch #fashiondrawing #fashionillustration #intentionalsewing #sewingplanner #realbodycroquis #mybodymodelstyle #imakemyclothes #sketchmystyle #springsewing #summersewing #memadewardrobe #memadestyle #designyourwardrobe #seamworkdyw

🍃Breezy gauze #FCPhotinia from sketch to finish

🍃Breezy gauze #FCPhotinia from sketch to finished! #dopaminedressing doesn’t just mean bright colors, right? How about when a garment feels so luscious and light on your body that you feel like you’re floating inside a cloud?🥰The best thing about this top? I can’t stop twirling! Thanks again everyone for helping me choose which version
to make based on #MyBodyModel paper doll sketches. I made the @fibrandclothstudio #PhotiniaTopandDress size M in Rayon-cotton gauze, long gathered sleeve hack + 3/8" elastic casing instead of binding, and I am in love. I finished this top *just* in time for the #BHMPatternDesigners challenge hosted by @sewnaturaldane and I’m so happy I did! #sketch2finish #BHMPatternDesignersChallenge #BlackPatternDesigners #paperdollsforgrownups #sewingsketch #sketchandsew #fashionsketch #fashiondrawing #fashionillustration #mybodymodelcroquis #realbodycroquis #mybodymodelstyle #imakemyclothes #sketchmystyle #beyourownfashiondesigner #indiesewing #indiesewingpattern #statementsleeves
