Dress Form FAIL



Balls. This did not work out AT ALL. First off, I discovered that the tape I bought was only partially sticky, as in the adhesive only covered half the width of the tape. WTF?! I cannot imagine a possible use for half-sticky tape! Secondly, the directions I used didn't mention that the wrap-ee needed to wear a long t-shirt, so when my lovely assistant and I tried to cut me loose, the whole bottom part just fell off.

So much for that. I guess the "you get what you pay for" principle can pretty much be applied to everything. Looks like I'll be saving up for something decent.

Booooo.

Weekend Project: Cloning

That's right, I'm making a clone of my body. In duct tape and papier mâché! I've decided to start sewing again, and nice dress forms are wicked spendy. Srsly. This morning I went to this site and found out just how to do it on the cheap. If it works out, I'll post pics!
