Wardrobe must-have: colorful animal print rayon? A

Wardrobe must-have: colorful animal print rayon? After seeing this gorgeous planning page from the sketchbook of Raylene @scarletstitchonline, YES! We keep on coming back to the garments Raylene documented in her dotted journal over the course of her year-long sewing journey a few years back. I mean, just look at those pages! 😍⁠⁠

Next sewing project loading... This pretty #SudleyDress by megannielsenpatterns in this gorgeous cement colored animal print rayon poplin from lowry_fabrics. I only had 2 meters of this fabric for my Sudley so I had to play pattern tetris and compromise on some details that I will share more about in my blog post next week ✂️⁠

Comfort is key – but that doesn't mean you can't

Comfort is key – but that doesn't mean you can't dress up too!! We love how Helen @hshandcrafts approached her wardrobe with thoughtfulness and intention. She was able to use her MyBodyModel croquis to try out outfit combinations to combine cozy pieces with her 3 favorite dresses!⁠
We all love to wear our favorite clothes, right? I'd say this was a wardrobe success! 😍⁠

I've been playing around with paper dolls this week trying out #mybodymodel3x3. My aim was to come up with a spring wardrobe that would inspire me to wear my 3 favourite dresses again as I seem to have got stuck in a loungewear rut. I decided to mix and match the 3 dresses with 3 pieces of knitwear (I *need* to be cozy),and 3 super comfortable layering pieces.⁠
By drawing out my existing clothes on my body model (a mini me sketch made to my exact measures by mybodymodel) I could try out lots of different combinations without having to try them all on in real life! I settled on this set of 9 pieces which can create so many outfit combinations! ⁠

Can we take a moment to admire this citrus swimsuit set that Tori @toriskabags designed a while back? 🍋🍋🍋 And it's nursing friendly! We love how Tori sketched out the color blocking ideas on her #mybodymodel croquis, and how she combined multiple patterns/designs to create a suit that is both fun and practical!⁠

New swimsuit! I've been planning this out all summer and this week we're going to the beach, so I knew I needed to take some time to work on it. The bottoms are the Tidal Wave Swim Shorts from #5outof4patterns and the top is basically a mash of my favorite nursing sleep bra with sleeves and a bottom part. I made a test version of both and made lots of improvements. I wish I could have made a second test of the bottoms because they still ended up with a ton of wrinkles unless I stand with my legs shoulder distance apart! They also ride up horribly, so I'm trying to brainstorm if there's a way to make them more comfortable. Anyways I'm very excited to try this out at the beach this week. I added sleeves because my shoulders always get burned and I wanted shorts because I spend most of the time playing in the sand with my toddler and that's not comfortable in a standard swim bottom.

Happy 2023! This new year comes with exciting news

Happy 2023! This new year comes with exciting news: we—Erica and Jenny—are thrilled to announce that MyBodyModel is now part of the @cashmerette family. When Erica announced the closing of MyBodyModel, Jenny got in touch. We quickly realized that our missions aligned: to empower makers like you to design and create amazing garments which make you feel fabulous. Cashmerette and MyBodyModel are both long-time champions of body positivity in the maker community, and we're both thrilled that MyBodyModel has found a new home. What does this mean for you? It means that MyBodyModel will live on and your access to credits and croquis will be uninterrupted. Head over to the MyBodyModel blog to learn more. Happy sketching and sewing,
Jenny Rushmore & Erica Schmitz #MyBodyModelCroquis #Fashiondrawing #FashionIllustration #FashionSketch #Cashmerette #CashmerettePatterns #MyBodyModel [Image description: a hand coloring an orange garment on a MyBodyModel croquis on white paper.

HAPPY UPDATES!🎉⁠
⁠
🙌MyBodyModel has a buyer!⁠
I can't reveal who the company is quite yet, but I can tell you that they couldn't be a better fit for MyBodyModel's mission. MyBodyModel will live on! And any unspent credits will continue to be available. Hooray!!⁠
⁠
🙌I'm continuing Illustrated Style School!⁠
This means that current classes will continue to be available. I have fun plans for the upcoming year!⁠
⁠
But first things first:⁠
⁠
💌If you're on the MyBodyModel email list, you'll continue to get news, offers, and all your amazing croquis content from MyBodyModel. If you'd also like to hear about Illustrated Style School, I'm building a new email list for that separately, and I'd love you to join! illustratestyleschool.com⁠
⁠
😅And another thing I'm building again from scratch...⁠
My new IG account @illustratedstyleschool ! My plan for this account is to have fun with it, and share more informal, unedited, and personal content than I have in the past with MyBodyModel. Please take a moment to follow and add to your Favorites so that you don't miss my awkward re-entry into social media! Seriously though, I have special giveaways planned soon - Stay tuned!⁠
⁠
🙌And some personal updates...⁠
I started a new day job at the beginning of October, returning to my roots in the non-profit health world and doing one of my favorite things: Helping teams to develop new project ideas and get funding to bring them to reality! The position is not-quite-full-time, which also makes it possible for me to keep Illustrated Style School going as a creative outlet and side business. I've also made exciting progress in my own health and it's been wonderful to feel some energy again.⁠
⁠
THANK YOU to every one of you who has been there throughout my journey with MyBodyModel! I'm overjoyed that MyBodyModel will continue on with a company that's so perfectly aligned and ready to bring it into the future. (And can't wait to tell you who it is!!)⁠
⁠
I hope you'll continue to keep in touch with me over @illustratedstyleschool . I look forward to staying connected!⁠
⁠
Happy Sketching!!⁠
