Dressform done

I finished my dressform :-)

Yes, my body is very asymmetrical.

I had glued the base on last weekend & left it to set.

Yesterday I put the fitting on the base & put the base on the stand. Then I covered the form in a dry cleaners bag.

Then comes the cover. First a seam up the back (which I didn't get very straight, oh well), a casing around the bottom and some darts in the side.

Then I sewed up the shoulders:

Then a circle hand sewed around the top & it's done.

I put it next to the one I had made before. I weighed about 20 pounds less & it was made about 12 years ago. I have crunched on the left side, which is rather unnerving. Perhaps I should start going for massages to relax the left side of my body.

Next to to make stuff that fits, to get some value from this work!
