Dress Form Double Class

 Loved it! I’ve seen the results of your other classes before and thought "that would be neat to do sometime," but not enough to sign up for a class. I’m so glad that I did this time! I’ve always thought a dressform as a "nice to have," now I can see how it will be able to make my sewing even more enjoyable because I won’t have to be frustrated with the final fitting.

The wrapping wasn’t the least bit uncomfortable. It wasn’t hot or anything.

As I was putting on the design lines, I recognized every bump and roll that my body has. It was during the adding of the design lines that I had my "aha!" moment; I suddenly saw how I could alter necklines, add new kinds of darts…oh! the possibilities.

Thanks, again, for a wonderful class, Jean!

And I have already…posting raves onto PatternReview.com and craftster.og.

Although, it may be a little frightening to see your exact body double emerge from a turtleneck and duct tape, once you add the cover and your design lines, you start to realize "oh! that’s why I always gap there!" Then, you can realize how to work with the pattern for the future.

Once I added the design lines, my brain started thinking how I can change darts. And with my arms, I could now make a handbag pattern that fits my proportion and fits within my armsycthe. I loved when you showed us how we can use the dressform with our jewelry to change necklines in order to enhance the jewelry!
