| Ok - you know I am making a wedding dress and have been rambling around looking for forums about sewing so I could get some good tips. Whilst I was rambling, I found these crazy directions for making a dressmaker's body double out of duct tape! Sadly, I don't have time to make one of my daughter, which would have been hugely helpful, but I do sew a bit for myself, so I figured we should give it a whirl. It is VERY cool! I was especially thinking about marylisa and making a belly mold These can be used for making clothes or for making scarecrows or fun figures for decorating etc. Somewhere I read that the costumers for Lord of the Rings used these a lot. I'll post a photo of mine if anyone wants to see her:-)
Here is a link for free instructions:

Have fun! |

| Yeah, I'd like to see it, I'm envisioning all the beautiful ballroom dancing gowns your going to be whipping up now! Like the ones with those hems that have all the attached feathers. |

Darn! Can't get it to load. Hang on....
