How to sew a dress form | Bootstrap patterns | cheap DIY mannequin

If you`re a sewist you know the pain of wanting a dress form that`s close to your actuall body. I had a few different models over the years, from cheap ones to more pricier adjustable ones, but none of them was REALLY a body double. It`s not only the measurements that, but also proportions and unique body features that make the difference. So when I learned about Bootstrap patterns, I really wanted to try it. They basically provide you a pattern based on a lot of measurements and body features you give them. If you want to try it on your own, you can find the link below.
In this video I`m taking you along while I make my own DIY dressform. If you enjoy it, please leave my a like and a comment :)
