Designs by Jude November Insider Blog

Tamara Casey of Designs by Jude is a sponsor of Virtual Doll Convention’s Club Grace which is a monthly doll club complete with a clothing delivery subscription, and a monthly digital component that features a fantastic new pattern by Tamara. It has been a wonderful year full of FASHION, thanks to many contributors, and especially for our sewers, Tamara Casey. This month’s pattern from Tamara Casey for Club Grace is Fashion Savvy shown on the right. The pattern features a fashionable pantsuit with full bishop sleeves and French cuffs.

Tamara has been making fabulous videos for YouTube - these sewing tutorials can help you tremendously! Don’t miss the video below for the Fashion Savvy pattern.

Here is what Club Grace Member, Marie Scopel, had to say about the pattern, plus check out her version - so much fun! “Fashion Savy” has got to be one of the best club Grace patterns yet! There’s just something so classic about this jumpsuit. I could’ve seen wearing it in 60s, 70s, 80s or even today! It lends itself to being all about the accessories. And it even came with a purse pattern.”

Club Grace member, Gale Torres, did a spectacular job with her pattern - isn’t the green fabric lush for the Holidays?


Congratulations are in order for Tamara Casey! She reached a goal of over 1,000 subscribers on her YouTube Channel. Consistent, quality content is what she has been striving for this year and she is doing AWESOME. Congratulations, Tamara! Keep climbing!

HELPFUL PRODUCT REVIEW

Reviews of products are extremely helpful for all of us - In this product review video, Tamara shows you her experience with Cordless Electric Scissors from opening the box through testing them on a variety of materials.
