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. Hop on over to the blog for more sketchbook inspiration! (link in bio)

With a new year comes all the new year’s goals.

With a new year comes all the new year’s goals. Using MyBodyModel as a sewing planner is a practical way to visualize what you may want to be wearing and sewing throughout the upcoming year.

There’s also something really powerful about putting images down on paper as a way to get more clear about what I really want when it comes to life and to sewing. Erica explains:

“The more I draw my dreams on my body model croquis, the easier it is to see myself being that person that I want to be and wearing those things.”

Erica outlines her sewing goals for the new year including an unstructured blazer, a jumpsuit, and a white boho top.

With so many great jacket sewing patterns out there, it can be hard to choose where to start! Sierra used her digital MyBodyModel as a virtual fitting room to “try on” the different silhouettes, colors, and fabrics that are on her wishlist – including both neutral and BOLD choices!

And she created a jacket smorgasbord! 🧥🧥🧥

Sierra explains:
“I have fabric for most of these jackets, and I have a feeling that I’m going to be making outerwear for the foreseeable future. I am really excited to play with design details on my croquis before making the final garment.”

It’s our friend Diane again giving us one more reason why she loves her MyBodyModel app—auditioning fabrics! 🤩🤩

Diane explains:

“Another way I use the Sketch Club app is to audition fabrics in my sketches. By taking a photo of the fabric (or using a photo from the vendor’s website) you can sketch over the fabric and get an idea of how it will look made up in your garment.”

With the ebbs and flows of life, sometimes we just

With the ebbs and flows of life, sometimes we just don’t feel as inspired to pursue our creative endeavors. But it’s how we recover from these dips that make all the difference.

Kelsey had to work herself out of her own creative funk and luckily, she documented the process that she used to get her sew-jo back. For her it was using MyBodyModel to sketch and plan a new me-made capsule wardrobe. Once she dug into the colors, fabrics, and templates, the inspiration began to flow once again.

Here’s what Kelsey had to say:

“But like with everything in life, it’s easy to lose focus and passion for something you once loved. As the year progressed, I found that I wasn’t intentional about what I was making. I found myself jumping from one project to the next and the joy that I had once found while sewing was starting to fade away. I knew something had to shift because I didn’t want to let go of this hobby.”

With the help of MyBodyModel she was able to regroup and spoiler - the result was an assortment of beautiful new sketches and a renewed vigor for her beloved sewing.💕💕

There are so many benefits to using a digital sket

There are so many benefits to using a digital sketchbook—all the fun of having a full artist studio without having to worry about storing everything or keeping track of supplies and drawings. Plus it’s just so much fun!

While we all may love the feel and process of working on paper, we’re finding it increasingly rewarding and enjoyable to work in a digital format.

Guest blogger Dr. T did some digging and found her favorite free digital art apps that are fantastic to use with MyBodyModel for digital sewing planning and fashion design. Here’s the list!

😍Adobe Draw
😍 Adobe Sketch
😍 Autodesk SketchBook
😍 Concepts
😍 MediBang Paint
😍 Tayasui Sketches

“I’d highly recommend testing out several of the free apps yourself to see which you like the best. I think that the apps you will enjoy the most will depend on what sort of art style you enjoy, and how much control you like to have over the different tools, and how simple or complicated you want your app to be.”

Recently, we featured some of our favorite MyBodyM

Recently, we featured some of our favorite MyBodyModel-inspired fashion mood boards.

Akin to fashion mood boards is the cork board approach to planning your seasonal sewing and knitting projects and Sarah is here to tell us all about it!

1.) Once I have decided what I’d like to try and make for a given season, I sit down and sketch all the styles using MyBodyModel. I label each style with the name of the pattern I plan to use and attach them to my cork board. Seeing this board in my sewing room everyday really helps me to stay motivated throughout the season!

2.) Once I start working on a garment I transfer the sketch and swatch to my sewing notebook where I document the making process and keep fitting notes. This is quick and easy because when I first put the sketches and swatches on the corkboard, I just roll up a little piece of Scotch tape and use that to stick them on the board. Then, when I’m ready to put them in my notebook, I just pluck them off and stick them right in the book!

✨And here’s an additional tip for staying inspired!

“I try not to think of my seasonal sewing plans as set in stone – the corkboard is aspirational only! If a new pattern comes out that I’m super excited about, I’ll go ahead and make it. If I’m not feeling a certain garment I had planned to make, I don’t force myself to make it.”

Sarah also started knitting, so she’s been using the corkboard method for her knitting projects as well!

We love a moodboard. It really gets us in the mood

We love a moodboard. It really gets us in the mood! 😍

Many members of our community have found creative ways to plan their wardrobes with the help of mood boards! Here are just a few!

😍 MyBodyModel sketcher Sarah decided to create mood boards for her upcoming makes using her custom body model croquis. She searched online for inspiration photos, fabric swatches, and technical drawings for sewing patterns, and she used her Microsoft Surface tablet to sketch several “work/casual” looks for her collection. Sarah created beautifully designed digital mood boards to look back upon — all without the need to shuffle through stacks of fashion magazine clippings or bulky fabric swatches!

😍 Tiffaney created a mood board to inspire her future makes based on style inspiration from her style icons. She then pulled out her MyBodyModel croquis and set to testing out patterns on her body. I found my pencils, erasers, fine-tipped markers, and colored markers and got to work. She then created a summer collection mood board called TROPICAL CITRUS

😍 Mirielle’s mood board is just one aspect of her creative process. She likes to create her mood board to explore her style preference and then plan her wardrobe from that place of inspiration.
