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?

Anyone here who sews have any thoughts on a good dress form that's maybe on the cheaper side
#ive seen a few threads where people just respond to this question saying that dress forms are unnecessary#and more often than not im making things without a pattern or having to heavily modify a pattern so i think itd be useful 🤷♂️#ive also seen a diy dressforms im just not sure i wanna spend the time on that

I just think it should be illegal for pretty people to have trouble sleeping like we should be given free sleep aids is all I’m saying
#please#please for the love of god#can I sleep for more than like three hours???#I beg#I am on my knees in full sabrina cosplay#anyway#someone talk me out of making a little mannequin out of foam board#so that I can use it to make little costumes#(I guess it would be a dressform then and not a mannequin but I digress)

current state of the union btw
#i speak#light planning ranges from anywhere between ideas and drawn out or noted. some materials gathered. concepts created. etc.#currently in the process of making is a little bit of a lie bc rn kings mapicc has colonized my dressform#and im losing the fight for my bedroom against bacon hat materials#zam and ro things both also need the dress form to be worked on and therefore are living in my closet for the time being. haunting me#honestly i would love to fuck around more with a parrot design but given that i mostly cosplay at conventions. uhm. [tired look at grian]

I find myself putting a colossal amount of time and energy into fixing or modifying thrift-store or otherwise mass-produced clothing in such a way that the cost (in time and materials) of modifications far outstrips the amount I paid for the item
but you know what? I don't care. I want to make-better stuff I already have, not pine for something perfect that doesn't exist, or fret for months over shirt patterns.
#i still don't have a dressform#and it is becoming abundantly clear that i need to finally make the cover for it#but it's going to be so fucking fussy i am a little scared#so instead i'm doing OTHER FUSSY SHIT#... i gotta find the time. it's gotta happen.

Everyone in my life for years: you’re gonna miss how fast your metabolism is now when it slows and you start putting on weight faster
Me at 24+, after reaching and passing my target weight: Look at this gut!!! My butt jiggles!!! These thighs are two feet around!!! Hehehe )) double chin!!! And I’m still gaining!!! Very excited!!!
#yes this post is entirely cause I just went to the bathroom and saw in the mirror#that I get a little double chin when opening my mouth#instead of having to strain my head down to get the effect#and got excited#also the thigh thing I found out the other day#I was checking my waist measurement and decided to measure everywhere else too#partly cause I’ve got an adjustable dressform I haven’t been keeping up-to-date as I’ve gained weight and wanted to adjust it#I love having an actual gut instead of being pretty much concave there#very delighted by all the changes my weight gain has brought#also I think the world needs more happiness over weight gain

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
