I don't have a dressmaking dummy, but have often thought of making one. I've got a book that outlines the process, but have been much too daunted to try it out.I'd love to read follow up posts of how it "performs":) Paolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472129226320589172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-59053924742478825992014-07-21T21:43:52.303+10:002014-07-21T21:43:52.303+10:00I'm surprised Pete didn't measure you up a...I'm surprised Pete didn't measure you up and make one entirely out of welded strips of metal.

Can't wait to see Craig's face when I inform him of his part LOL. Great idea and I'm convinced one of these would help me. Can't wait till you try it out. ;)Tanya Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867118885094628168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-20868005945459817812014-07-21T16:47:16.466+10:002014-07-21T16:47:16.466+10:00That is brilliant it will be so useful with your s...That is brilliant it will be so useful with your sewing, i shall be watching for your dressmaking posts now.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-80568679678257488462014-07-21T16:32:16.771+10:002014-07-21T16:32:16.771+10:00very nice, i should make one of these as my boobs ...very nice, i should make one of these as my boobs are always a problem when im sewing clothes, my first trial of a garment is usually a bit tight in the bust. if i had one of these i could just make one instead of a practice and the the real thing.Nicole and Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463146316953697505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-67133191222205893442014-07-21T14:32:29.703+10:002014-07-21T14:32:29.703+10:00Oooops - I somehow dropped the 'y' - shoul...Oooops - I somehow dropped the 'y' - should say, "YOUR dummy's got a much better shape than mine."Callyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365519986239394807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-22650956702281877512014-07-21T14:31:15.898+10:002014-07-21T14:31:15.898+10:00I'm just in the process of making one too!

We used brown paper tape but then The Husband decided to make it stronger and is in the middle of putting a layer of fibreglass over the top, using epoxy and fibreglass fabric. I haven't found something for a stand yet but am looking. Would you like to swap - our dummy's got a much better shape than mine. :pCallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365519986239394807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-34025323536071097812014-07-21T09:24:15.443+10:002014-07-21T09:24:15.443+10:00I bet you too had a lot of fun with this activity....I bet you too had a lot of fun with this activity. Goodness, another thing that can be made with duct tape. Is there anything it cant do. Ive watched over and over the Mythbuster series on duct tape with my boys. I never figured a dressmakers dummy into it. Well Done.
