Dress Form thoughts..

Now I'm considered forgoing the Uniquely You form in favor of making a new Duct Tape dummy.

I have a ratty T-shirt, Duct tape is easy - wooden coat hanger and cardboard roll a little harder to come by. Christmas Tree stand already acquired.

I might cover it with some stretch velvet, to give me something to pin into. Should I pad it at all?

[livejournal.com profile] ablackram might you have time to help out, and maybe NOT take advantage of the situation once I'm all taped up?

Today is John and my 10th Anniversary. I won't be home till around 9 PM. And I haven't yet ordered his gift. Whoops.

Sunday we're day-tripping to Chicago. I might see if I happen across anything there for Rori, for HER birthday - which is on Tuesday.

I highly suggest padding... even on a regular dummy I found it two-fold where I liked having something squishy to work on.

I think I can help with the cardboard roll :-) Not sure about the hanger, I thought I had a couple still, but I'll have to look harder...

If you come visit me, I will give you a wooden hanger.

*lol* Well, if the chilluns are not being teeny tiny monsters by the time we wrap up in Schaumberg on Sun I'll give you a ring.

Ya I can help. Though if you are gone on Sunday, will have to be later as I am still werkin until 2300 tonight.

Actually I like instead of the cardboard tubie, a piece of PVC. :)
