What’s your process for planning your makes?

Our friend Kari uses her MyBodyModel to create a sheet of 24 croquis and then does a “brain dump” of what she wants to make.

She explains:

“As a textile designer, my method for generating new content is to cast a wide net for inspiration and widdle it down to my final designs. It’s no different when it comes to my sewing plans. I love all of the layouts included in the MyBodyModel download, but in my crazy mind, 8 max wasn’t enough. I made myself a sheet with 24 croquis so I could basically do a brain dump of what I want to make for fall.”

The MyBodyModel app was a game changer for Kari in that it allows her to see and design for her body. Second, it allows her to sort & filter all of her sewing ideas visually.

“After cramming all of the possible looks onto my sheet of 24, I was able to get an overall picture of what’s working as well as bring me back to my sewing/wardrobe goals. I gravitate towards a classic relaxed fit style where staple pieces like jeans, tees, and layering pieces are the main ingredients.”

Hop on over to the blog to see her process as well as a few of her makes!

We want to know…does planning out your makes stifle your creativity or does it make you feel more inspired?

For our friend Kelsey, planning out her me-made capsule wardrobe sent her on a journey of inspiration and creativity that reignited her love of sewing. But honestly, we’ve seen it go both ways.

Kelsey used MyBodyModel to plan out fabric and color combinations on a sketch that actually looked like her. As a result, her planning and sketching have gone next level and she’s back to her love sewing and is excited to start cutting into her fabric. 😍

There are so many different wonderful ways to use

There are so many different wonderful ways to use MyBodyModel to plan your wardrobe!

Today we dig into Mirielle’s creative process. Mirielle shares how she uses MyBodyModel’s paper vs. digital fashion drawing templates for each step of her creative process – from style exploration, to wardrobe planning, to sewing planning (and even drafting her own patterns)!

And it all starts with a simple sketch.

Here’s what Mirielle had to say:
“MyBodyModel has helped me to look at my own body in a whole new way. I’ve learned not to see it as a problem, but a beautiful temple that I will seek to honor. While drawing, I learned to play with my curves and this shift makes a huge difference. It may just be a beginning, but it’s a real and significant change.”

But above all, honor your shape and #YourOwnBeautifulBody!

Bullet journal inspo! 🤩

We chatted with Leanne and she gave us a little bullet journal inspo that we think you’re going to love ❤️

Leanne explained to us how she uses her MyBodyModel croquis to document what she has sewn each month. She wanted to see what her output was each month as well as have a sewing scrapbook of sorts, so she’s been making a page for every garment she sews each month.

Here’s what Leanne has to say:
“After the first month of using my body model croquis to document my makes, I was hooked.”

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.”

When it comes to sewing, Ciara has learned that he

When it comes to sewing, Ciara has learned that her body is truly unique and no mass-produced croquis is ever going to truly reflect it. Good thing for MyBodyModel’s custom fashion croquis templates using your real body measurements!

Based on the proportions of her unique body she has developed specific preferences for how she prefers to dress. Ciara explains her preferences:

“I don’t think a pronounced sleeve head does my narrow, slightly sloped shoulders any favors. I have a short torso & a prominent belly, so I really prefer waistbands to hit at my natural waist—not too high & not too low. I have long legs, which I think are best showcased by skirts hemmed just above the knee.”

Perfect. Now not only is she aware of her specific proportions, she also knows what she likes and what she doesn’t. She continues:

“I was really impressed with how much my croquis resembled me. I instantly printed out the eight croquis page, because I’m all about rationing paper and I like to see a selection of outfit ideas side-by-side so I can think creatively about how to combine pieces into different outfits. I cracked open my bullet journal to my master list of planned sewing projects & started sketching.”

Now to the fun part - sketching! Designing on a body figure that looks like you can be empowering and even life changing.

It’s time for another #MyBodyModelDrawingTip!

After staring at a closet full of me-made clothes and still having the feeling that she had nothing to wear, Alyssa decided to use the 3x3 template to plan a capsule wardrobe she would actually wear.

Though it can seem like a daunting task to sketch out nine different outfits, Alyssa offers encouraging words:

“I don’t worry too much about getting it just right, instead using that time to experiment, visualize, and just have fun.”

When curating your perfect wardrobe designs, sketching is the first step – and last for many. Don’t let the nerves of not being an artist scare you away from creating your pieces, anyone can draw as long as you have an idea.

And don’t forget to just have fun!
