#dressform

[roboticchibitan]

I once, a decade ago, made a custom dressform using water activated paper tape and spray insation foam following a tutorial I found online. The paper tape was only used as a mold for the spray foam. The finished dressform came out if the paper tape mold and was just a foam copy of my body. It wasn't the most durable foam, but the closest tutorials I can find now call for plaster bandages, and expanding two part foam that costs $160 to make something in my size. Whereas a couple rolls of paper tape and three or four bottles of spray insulation foam is about $40.

I cannot for the life of me find this tutorial or even a mention of it and no tutorials I've found reference spray insulation foam so I'm wondering if there's a reason this method didn't survive the test of time. I did find one person on Reddit filled their duct tape dressform with spray foam but I couldn't find any other mentions of it.

I completed the McCall’s M8673 pattern view D, which is basically a corset style long sleeve top, boat type neckline. I used cotton muslin for my mockup, and plan to use jacquard and cupro for the lining.

More blades would be nice, as well. Because my rotary cutters although new-like the blades are not cutting through my fabric as it should and therefore causing more stress on the fabric which creates a jagged look which is not my cup-of-tea. My preference is for clean cut lines.. A swatch book is slowly being created while I move into making my actual wardrobe. I’ve seen a lot of dressforms that was made from the dbut I really don’t want to attempt at that at least not yet, and while moving to the place we are located now, was thrown away accidentally by the movers along with my cutting table. Worse movers in the world.

In other news, my daughter and I attended this baby music play., It was the most calming baby meet up we’ve ever attended. We even saw another mom A’kica and Tye, a mom and son who my daughter and I had met at a previous baby meet up sorta thing. It was a chill, Tuesday.

Also, this past Sunday, our neighbors baked for the family and I, a veggie lasagna which was absolutely DELICIOUS! Almost, like momma use to make it. Lol

But I cannot cook, at least not like a chef! I might throw a few veggies, noodles, and sauce in a wok and call it a meal. What should be my return thank you gift to the couple and their little one? We have a 6 month ‘Merry and Bright’ outfit my daughter never wore, so that’s a great regift but as the this couple…what do we give back?

A gift card, might be too lazy. I have been told I can make a decent stir-fry..what’s your suggestion?

kanaya, strike a pose with your favourite outfit, will you, please?

Every Outfit Is My Favorite Until There Is A Sale At The Fabric Store

There Is Nothing More Exhilarating Than Ripping A Bolt Of Fabric From The Spindly Grasping Digits Of Some Waifish Fashion Disaster Who May Not Necessarily Deserve Such Callousness But Does Require A Firm Hand Preventing Them From Committing A Literal Actual Crime Since They Are Cruising The Clearance Rack Intending To Line The Nest Of Their Slavering Lusus With Reams Of Castoffs And With My Spoils Creating My New Favorite Fit

How Am I Supposed To Choose When Each Outfit Nay Each Nascent Wiggler Hatched From My Own Flesh And Blood That I Labor Over For Hours Whilst Bent Over My Sewing Machine Until My Back Creaks With Each Purposeful Arc Of The Shears And Needle And Bring To Glorious Pupation Upon The Dressform Until I Am Satisfied With Every Fold And Crease Ensures I Am The Most Fuckable Person At The Agricultural Laborers Bazaar
