I am in dire need of a mannequin and so I found lots of helpful tips on how to make them...! I need one to fit my body and be sturdy enough to actually hold clothes. I decided I was going to make it out of duct tape by wrapping it around my body and then slipping/cutting it off (I will wear an old t-shirt under it lol)

Once I am done I will post pictures :) Has anyone else made a mannequin? Do you HAVE a mannequin? lol I would love pictures :)

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

Oh coolness LaiaMoon, can't wait for it to come in...! I would make it by wrapping up in duct tape then stuffing that shell with things(in short lol)

Yeah having a place to put it is a bit of a difficulty. My room feels a little cluttered x3 I may just put it in the corner :o
