Designs by Jude August 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 August is Boardwalk on the Beach. The pattern features a flirty fitted bustier bodice that can be attached to a full skirt or shorts to make a beach-ready romper. Both items are fully lined and have a snap closure. Watch this video to learn how to make it!
Below is a gallery of images of the gorgeous creations of the Boardwalk on the Beach Pattern by Club Grace Members. The members had a BLAST with this pattern. It had a lot of parts and pieces and was a challenge, but everyone had a great time!
Let’s Take a Walk Down Memory Lane!
In March of 2021, Tamara Casey produced her first sewing video for the Virtual Doll Convention Shoot for the Stars event. We talked her into doing it and she was off to the races. She did a fantastic job, and since then, she has produced weekly videos for all of her offerings and amassed thousands of followers for a reason. Below, you can view her video from that 2021 Virtual Convention that has over 17,000 views. For this who missed it, we have the video AND pattern for you in this blog.

Fast forward to today and we are gearing up for the Better Together Pop-Up event by Virtual Doll Convention. This year’s event is extra special because VDC is debuting a new doll by Robert Tonner - Neema. She is a GORGEOUS new sculpt, and Tamara had designed a FABULOUS pattern for her. The body on Neema is the same proportions as Ellowyne Wilde so our gals can share patterns.
Introducing…Retail Therapy!
Bright, fresh, and SO Neema!! This new pattern PLUS instructional video will be available to all registrants to the Better Together Virtual Event. You CAN NOT miss this, and there is registration as low as $5.00 or a scholarship!
Speaking of retail therapy - there will be shopping opportunities on Saturday during the event. You can see our stellar lineup of vendors for the event. Tamara’s Mother Sherry O’Brien will be there, too!
