oooh, it sounds really hard. Making a mannequin. I wish you the best of luck with that; make sure to post pictures! I really wonder how you´d even begin making one... :O
I got a mannequin for my birthday this year (it was on January 13th). My parents decided to feed my sewing obsession. However, since there aren´t any stores that sell mannequins around here, we had to order it online....and it hasn´t gotten here yet. But I promise to post pictures when I get it. Which I hope will be soon, because I´m really impatient to start sewing stuff and pinning things to it. :3
