I wondered if it is true that dress forms can be "home made" using duck tape??? If so, how is this done? This is all new to me! Thanks for your input!

yes they can be made of duct tape and come out very nice. Your true figure if you follow all the steps. Jean Hass has videos out on how to do it her way. I have made some and they work quite well. Summer Summer

Here is a link for making your own dress forms. http://www.taunton.com/threads/pages/t00002_p5.asp I have always wanted to do this, but haven't tried it. 
Happy sewing/quilting/crafting

I've always wanted to try too but don't trust to DH to actually cut me out! He might leave me there for a while

Here's what I got from Google: http://tinyurl.com/aclcp And here's a fun link about other stuff to do with duct tape: http://www.ducktapeclub.com/ducktivities/ And more from craftster.org: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=23635.0 I'm looking forward to making my own form, if I can get over the idea of having something that looks like my torso hanging around my sewing room.

(mine would, I'm her source of entertainment and my life is REALLY boring) Yeah, that's exactly what I mean! I thought about this only after seeing a picture on the net of someone's duct tape dress form hanging in a closet and something about it looked way creepy. |
