Finally! Another wardrobe refashion

My hubby and I finally got the chance to make my duct tape dress form...

We started with a two 60' rolls of duct tape, saran wrap and an old over-sized t-shirt...

And boy was it hot in there!


It took about an hour to tape me up, another half hour to finish it...stuff it, tape up the arm holes, etc...

And now I can finish all those tops that really need a dress form to finish them!

I thought you were making a duct-tape dress to WEAR! Like those contests every year to make prom dresses out of duct tape. Ha ha ha ha

Clever to make your own dress form. I gave up on sewing myself. :( It's something I really wish I could do.

I'm still not happy with my sewing skill, but I figure I've got to keep practicing if I want to get better. I don't mean to sound full of myself, but growing up a lot of things came easy to me. So when I wasn't immediately having success with sewing I got very frustrated. I'm still not as good as I'd like to be, but I'll keep at it until someone tells me it's a lost cause!!
