My purchase to myself this Christmas, a Dress Form. Yay! So much to choose from, so expensive too. My local fabric store had a 50% sale off the forms.. .Perfect timing and within my price range.
Thanks to the support from family and friends who ordered scarves from me over the past two months. Your support not only gave me added sewing confidence but also inspired me to take my sewing to the next level with regards to garment construction.
After setting up the form from the box, it was like instant ideas started to flow. Not only do I have my own model but there are so many things to try and to experiment with now. While I was limited in my thinking of trying clothes on the form for fit only, I am seeing the endless possibilities my new found sewing addition could have. Her name is “Sistah”
What about you? Do you have a form? Would you get one and why?
I would love to hear from the experts too on your experience owning one of these and how it has helped your sewing and or creativity.
Until next time, just keep sewing, just keep sewing, what do we do we seeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!

Welcome to the family Sistah!!!
Thanks π
Oh that’s where Sistah went! This is going to be a great addition to your sewing experience. Good job! Sew away, sew away, sew away…
Hey UtaC, that is a beautiful Sistah, you’re going to have a lot of fun with it! I have a form a few years now, my Juliette, She’s wearing a (richely filled) bra and t-shirt, mimicking my shapes, so I can see what my project is going to look like. Like many women I’m not a supermodel, so it’s really helpful to imagine how the sewing project is going to look like on moi :). I hope you enjoy working with Sistah!
Thanks Het
It does allow you to see your project take shape as you envisioned it. Juliette.. Love it..

Congratulations! I have had my “Dolly” for over a year now and i have been really happy to have her help me out with my sewing. Have fun!
Thanks Linda. Dolly… I like the name.
Congrats on adding Sistah to the family! I hope she is a great help to you. One of my goals for this year is to finally invest in a dress form–they just open up so many more possibilities!
Thanks Mads! The possibilities seem endless.. I hope to discover them over the months ahead π
Way to go Uta, I believe you will produce great pieces with the help of Sistah. ππ
