How to have fun with some duct tape, a friend and a couple of hours you ask? Make a dress form for your sewing projects! Now what did you think I was going to say!
I’ve been looking at dress forms both online and in stores for quite some time now and could never justify the expense, when I came upon this idea to make a replica of your own body. All you need is a couple of rolls of duct tape, a few bags of batting for stuffing it and some one willing to spend an hour or so taping three layers of duct tape on your body! The hubby was more than happy to help! Then if you’ve not complained too much during the process, they carefully cut up the back an release you from the form.

After taping the back closed you stuff the old gal and mount her on a pole. While stuffing you should take your own measurements so you can mold and adjust her closer to your body likeness. For more detailed directions, go to the Taunton’s Thread site and follow the links to make several different kinds of forms.
