saran wrap pattern making

In Montreal I found a broken adjustable dress form in a pile of trash and used foam, duct tape, and an old bra to try and make it my size. It didn’t really work out… the boobs were too high (rather the shoulders too low pffft) and 4 rolls of black duct tape is not exactly easy to pin through. Other than a very curvy hanger, it wasn’t much use for draping… so it ended up in the trash again when I moved.

Anyhow… I found this new idea for making a custom sized flat pattern. Basically you wrap yourself in saran wrap and then cut it off. Check it out…

doof doof scavenger! Nothing excites her more than repetitive sounds like those of a sewing machine… except maybe garbage day. Uses the sewing machine her mom made her baby clothes with and refuses to read manuals. Likes to stitch rip for hours in 40 degree humidity and always has a pot of tea on the counter.
