![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.]](https://www.mybodymodel.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
