I was off from work today and decided to finally make a duct tape double of myself. I've been wanting a dress form for a while, but shipping a dress form to Guam would be so expensive. After seeing all the great DIY dress form tutorials on You Tube, I decided this would be the next best thing. So I enlisted the help of Allan. He did a really good job and I managed to not pass out. She isn't an exact double, but she fits my t-shirts okay so I can't complain.
I could've really used that double a couple weeks ago when I was making this top. Instead I was forced to try it on, take it off, sew adjustments, try it on, take it off, sew adjustments . . . Oh well.
'a duct tape double of myself!'
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Drea? I think theres a story in that alone?!
aww...i like the heart! - did you name her?
ReplyDelete:P I can't think of a name! I do want to name her, but I still haven't even named my sewing machine. lol
ReplyDeleteGood job! I've been thinking of making a dressform too. I doubt I'll ever get to it though, I seem to be up to my eyeballs in "to-do"....
