Fun with Duct Tape…
Posted by Erin under Sewing
Quick post today but I just wanted to share this with ya’ll…..
Did I hear somebody say duct tape dress forms?!?!
Yes. DIY duct tape dress forms! Threads magazine has a great feature on several different dress form methods here.
I’ve always wanted/needed a dress form. (For some reason real human people just don’t stand still long enough to endure all that pinning!!) If you’ve ever looked at commercial dress forms in sewing shops, you know why I don’t have one: they’re so expensive! And frankly, the dress forms marketed to home sewers seem real twinky for something that costs so much.
Now I just need somebody to sign on as my partner in crime duct taping.

Dude, I’ll be your duct tape victim if you’ll be mine! I read about this a while ago on a knitting blog I follow and was very interested. Oh, if only these damn British flats had enough space for dress models!

Sweet!!!!! Let’s do it. Now I just need to figure out how I’m going to get myself and my duct tape over the pond. =)
