We’re absolutely loving this quilted coat!

Our friend Marlene used MyBodyModel to plan the patchwork design for this scrap buster project by using paper doll garment sketches and ended up with a gorgeous #TamarackJacket!

Here’s what she had to say:
“Of course I had to add the jacket to my paper doll collection!! I'm still loving #mybodymodel croquis and had fun colouring in all the patchwork. ⁠I paired it with some athletic grey leggings and my trusty slippers because really, I don't wear anything else these days.” ⁠

We ❤️ this MyBodyModel story and we’re so thankful to Diana for spreading the word!

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.”

Try out patterns, fabrics, and yarn before committing!

It can be overwhelming when there are so many options to choose from when it comes to unique patterns, fun fabrics, and colorful yarn, but we know how to help.

When it comes to Katie’s process, she turns to her custom croquis which has allowed her to picture how a piece will lay on her body rather than just free-floating on a page. It has helped her make better creating choices before the cut and sew.

She says:
“I couldn’t decide so I drew my three ideas on MyBodyModel personal croquis and it REALLY helped me make my decision!! Seriously. I normally would’ve fretted for days unsure. But once I’d sketched them out and thought about the stripes, I knew which one really ‘sang to me.’”

Do you have a bit of a strained relationship with goal setting and how that plays into your sewing plans?

Jess had the same issue. But what helped Jess was establishing a reason for digging into a new project which for her was a desire to get more fluent with drawing.

And it just so happens that MyBodyModel can help with that 😉

Jess explains:
“As someone for whom drawing is never going to be my main discipline, it’s nice that I can use the MyBodyModel croquis to leapfrog over learning satisfactory figure drawing proportions and just get to designing the clothes!

For Jess, the key to sticking to her goals and making sewing plans is leaving herself room and lots of choice about how she moves forward from moment to moment.

“It is just about finding a different approach that leaves room for freedom and flexibility.”

We can get behind that 💯

What do you get when you combine a MyBodyModel dig

What do you get when you combine a MyBodyModel digital body model image with Adobe sketch and a large gap in your closet? Well, for Sierra it meant the opportunity to craft a whole new work wardrobe that is both classic and fun!

Here’s how Sierra got started on her work collection:

“I started to consider what category of my closet I wanted to focus on. I decided that I would tackle clothes that I can wear to work. I spend a lot of my time in an office and the dress code is business casual, which can have a wide range of interpretation. My goal for “The Work Collection” is to make pieces that are comfortable, classic, and funky. I enjoy taking simple styles and adding a little flair to them with fun colors or prints.”

Sierra has sketched out 3 garments so far - a blouse, a wrap dress, and a woven skirt.

“As I continue to make clothes for myself, I look forward to breaking down my planning into categories. I’m sure I will plan makes for active wear, traveling, and lounging. The Work Collection will be the first of many.”

It’s another me-made winter wardrobe reveal with the help of MyBodyModel and we’re smitten!

Megan has been a busy bee using her MyBodyModel croquis and sewing planner to make a delectable winter wardrobe for her favorite season of the year!

“I love winter! The crisp air, drifting snowflakes, and a cozy mug of hot chocolate. When the cold air moved in I had already been dreaming up some nice warm clothes for the season. I’ve been using my MyBodyModel croquis to help plan my winter wardrobe.”

She sketched and crafted a lovely wool skirt, the @Cashmerette Appleton Wrap Dress in green velvet, a luxe velvet lingerie set, and up next is a navy cable knit sweater.

Whitney’s guide to fall fashion: 🍂 Combining

Whitney’s guide to fall fashion:
🍂 Combining color, texture, and pattern
🍂 Layering handknit sweaters over a printed dress
🍂 A color palette of juicy autumn fruits, late afternoon sunlight, and traditional autumn favorites like camel, navy, and charcoal gray

With these in mind, Whitney shows you different outfits she plans to make inspired by the chilly weather.

She says:
“A couple of months ago, I pulled together the fabric stack pictured below in anticipation of the changing seasons. Since then, I’ve done some sewing, acquired a few new fabrics, and sketched out my plans using my custom My Body Model croquis sketch pages”

From gathering inspiration by creating a mood board to sketching out her designs, Whitney gives you a sneak peek into her season planning process.
