She is a little lumpy, but she is finished! I'm very impressed with how the pattern matches my body so WELL! If you've been considering trying out the @bootstrapfashion DIY dressform I definitely recommend the project. Its going to be such an amazing addition to my tools and it is made from such a cute fabric. _________________________________ #zephyrmakesthings #bootstrapfashion #bootstrapdressform #dressform #sewing #behindtheseams #memadewardrobe #toolsofthetrade https://www.instagram.com/p/CFvCQd8DFp0/?igshid=gom0kac4lyi0

I finisged the sewing for my dressform yesterday and started stuffing her. I am reusing this giant yarn(it's wool roving) that one my partner's coworkers gave me as the stuffing, because I had no idea what I would use it for and it really makes great stuffing. I had to frog the project and Raiden made herself a noodle babe. My arms are sore so I haven't returned to the stuffing process, but we are close! ______________________________ _________________________________ #zephyrmakesthings #bootstrapfashion #bootstrapdressform #dressform #sewing #behindtheseams #memadewardrobe #toolsofthetrade https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkvJNKD_sX/?igshid=1bm95tzs6gx7e

Spent more time working on my dressform. I've definitely been dilly dallying on progress but its fun to see it come together. Especially because it is long torsoed like I am. I know that is the reason I did it this way, but it's still nice to see! _________________________________ #zephyrmakesthings #bootstrapfashion #bootstrapdressform #dressform #sewing #behindtheseams #memadewardrobe #toolsofthetrade https://www.instagram.com/p/CFdEBftDck_/?igshid=60551ihlbgr5

Started a new project yesterday because...well...I need a dressform for patternmaking since I prefer to drape versus flat drafting. My adjustable never truly matched as I am very long torsoed and as I was using it recently it broke at the waist when I moved it from one side of the room to the other. Not that I needed an excuse, but I had one! I'm very excited to try out the DIY sewn dressform from @bootstrapfashion because i used all of my measurements and the 3D model they sent actually looks like my body proportions. So yesterday, with Sir Didymus' help I cute out this wonderful Alice in Wonderland cotton print I had been hoarding for years. It's so aesthetically me, I'm glad it's literally gonna be a staple tool and decoration in my sewing nook! Now to fuse interfacing 5ever. _________________________________ #zephyrmakesthings #bootstrapfashion #bootstrapdressform #dressform #sewing #behindtheseams #memadewardrobe #toolsofthetrade https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVSVCqDlKu/?igshid=kuriapkejuyr

Sometimes sewing fails happen and we gotta fix 'em 🧵 I was just about done with my @bootstrapfashion dressform when I realized that I had some wrong measurements in the chest height area. My... ahem... apex height was a whole inch higher on my preview pattern compared to the pattern I purchased (my mistake oops), so I did what any seamstress does best and seam-ripped the front bit of the mannequin to restart. All this to say, it happens sometimes, never beat yourself up over a messed up seam ^^ #sewingfail #sewing #seamstress #bootstrapfashion #dressform #mannequin #cosplayer #cosplayerofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkZultjAo5/?igshid=19ca6g6ype9wm
