Feeling stunted in your creative journey? When fe

Feeling stunted in your creative journey? When feeling her love for sewing fade away, Kelsey knew she couldn’t let go that easy. After taking a needed sewing hiatus, she knew exactly how to jump back in – a me-made capsule wardrobe! Not only did this push Kelsey to kickstart her sew-jo, but it also encouraged creativity and inspiration. One part of planning that Kelsey has always found to be a challenge was the body model she sketched on. She explains:
“I’ve sketched out ideas in the past, but one thing I’ve found that was challenging was that my sketches didn’t look like me. So when I found MyBodyModel, I was excited to start sketching and planning again.” Follow along on our blog as Kelsey takes you through her step-by-step process of planning her bright and bold capsule wardrobe. #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #Croquis #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch [Image description: Kelsey’s designed croquis displaying two outfit sketches from her me-made capsule wardrobe on her iPad with an Apple pen laying next to it laying on top of the fabric from the sketch.]

The personal planner of your dreams 💭 When Ela

The personal planner of your dreams 💭 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.” Including other pre-made planners in this blog post for others like her, Elana shares how she created her journal and takes you step-by-step through her planning process. Head on over to our blog to hear more about how to easily plan for all of your future makes using a personal planner of your own! #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #Croquis #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch [Image description: Elana’s personal planner displaying twelve of her design sketches with some colored pencils laying around and a scribble sheet in the top corner.]

“My body deserves comfort, it deserves the cool

“My body deserves comfort, it deserves the cool water and easy movement of a swimming pool, it deserves the rush of salt and wave. When I look at my sketches, I don’t see a body that should be ashamed of enjoying the sun and the water, I see a woman who looks great in everything she tries on. And that is a feeling a sweaty fitting room will never give you.” We absolutely love this sentiment written by Thandi (@ohasusualdear) in our most recent blog post. In this blog, Thandi takes us on a swimwear journey - from highs to lows to inspiration and satisfaction, she covers it all. Spoiler: With help of her MyBodyModel croquis she’s able to create the virtual swimmie wardrobe of her dreams which is a dream come true for us as well! ❤ There are many different ways to use MyBodyModel to plan your wardrobe and this includes swimwear! Hop on over to our blog to read more. We think you’re going to love it! #SewingPlanner #MyBodyModel #FashionSketching #Croquis #SketchAndSew #MyBodyModelStyle #SewingProcess #SewingSketch [Image Description: Thandi’s The Morticia swimsuit sketch on a piece of paper with fabric draped in two corners and a rotary cutter in the bottom corner.]

Thandi’s criteria for a swimsuit: ☀️Hard-wea

Thandi’s criteria for a swimsuit:
☀️Hard-wearing
☀️ Looks good
☀️ Bust support
☀️ Is not a total pain in the bum to make so that I give up halfway and cry over my sewing machine Doesn’t seem like too much to ask, right? Follow along with Thandi’s (@ohasusualdear) journey to satisfying her swimwear needs despite the fact that accessing swimwear in her size isn’t as simple as she would like. Here’s what she had to say of the process: “Of course, if I had access to swimwear in my size, I would go to the shops and try on a range of different styles to get an idea of what I like to wear and what look I like. But that’s not possible. Luckily, I have My Body Model croquis and can, with a pencil and some printouts, try on swimwear virtually. Genius, I know.” First, She printed out some full page croquis to sketch on and come up with some designs. She then narrowed down which elements she liked best and used the printout with three small croquis to draw them side-by-side. She came up with five designs she liked based on ready-to-wear swimwear. From there she went through each design to figure out the best swimsuit for her.

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.

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.’” Head on over to our blog to see what pattern and fabric Katie decided to use!
