Designs by Jude September 2022 Insider Sewing Blog

Welcome to the Designs by Jude Monthly Insider


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.

The pattern for September is Cooler Weather The pattern features a long sleeve bodysuit with a cross-over front and a pair of slim-leg jeans with a back yoke, rolled cuffs, and six pockets. The pattern was created in sponsorship of the Club Grace subscription through the Virtual Doll Convention.

Below is a gallery of images of Cooler Weather by Club Grace Members. These were posted within just a day or two of the pattern release. Our members are quick and talented, way to go!!


These boots are made for walkin’! We noticed a new selection of shoes on the Designs by Jude Homepage. The shoes are different sizes and fit dolls like Cissy and American Model Tonner dolls. Click below to do a little shoe shopping with Tamara.

A Creative Sewer! Elena Wirick-Velez

We just LOVE this - Club Grace Member Elena Wirick-Velez made a true mermaid version of the Symphony Pattern from July.

“When Ellowyne heard that the "Symphony" sewing pattern was also called a mermaid dress, she asked if I could make her into a mermaid princess. The fun trim at the bottom comes off to change the look. Here is how it turned out.”

The VDC Better Together Event was a huge success, and Tamara Casey rocked her sewing event! Hundreds of attendees made versions of Retail Therapy for Neema and Ellowyne Wilde.

In just over a year, Tamara Casey has amassed over 4,000 subscribers on YouTube - for good reason! Her videos are clear, and full of helpful tips to sew. She started her channel and never stopped. We have to celebrate 4k!
