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! ⁠

Well it was a tough decision but I am SO HAPPY wit

Well it was a tough decision but I am SO HAPPY with the results! Thank you all for your help deciding which view of the @fibrandclothstudio #PhotiniaTopandDress to make based on #MyBodyModel paper doll sketches. I finally chose the long gathered sleeve hack, and for the neckline I did a 3/8" elastic casing instead of binding. My only other mod was to shorten the top by 2" for my perfect front-tuck length. I may still try the waist-tie but for now I am loving the swinginess of this top. It makes me want to twirl! I'll just have to make a reel to show just how flowy and breezy and romantic this top feels.⁠
⁠
💕Thank you Alexis @fibrandclothstudiopatterns @helloalexisbailey for creating this wonderful pattern! It was a joy to sew from beginning to end. I love my #FCPhotinia top and can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can wear it on repeat! And... I may just have to make more versions, now that I can't get them out of my head...⁠
⁠
Today is the final day of the 2022 #BHMPatternDesigners challenge but if you missed it, it's never too late to support more #BlackPatternDesigners and business owners! You can find an updated directory @sewnaturaldane website. Thank you Nateida for hosting this challenge and for the opportunity for MyBodyModel to be a part of it.❤⁠

And 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. ⁠

✅Sewing queue sorted! Which one would you sew first? And can you believe Leah @stuff.leah.sews is new to digital drawing?? She says:⁠
⁠
I’m not really into make nines but here are some number of projects that I’m pretty excited about right now. ⁠
⁠
I started by updating my #mybodymodel croquis to my current measurements. Then I took their class on digital sketching. I’ve wanted to learn how to do that for quite a while and it was just perfect to get me up and running. Finally, I downloaded a few digital planners and played around till I found one that works for me. It’s the @seamwork planner with a few modifications. I wasn’t sure I’d like digital sketching as much as paper but turns out, I think I like it more! ⁠
