HOW TO MAKE A HOMEMADE DRESSFORM

Another intage pattern download for your Kindle!

Very interesting concept! A homemade dressform that is the exact same shape and size as your own body! Make one for yourself, your children, anyone you make clothing for!

Easily make your own clothing on a dress form that is identical in shape & contour to your own body! These step-by-step instructions will show you how to make a home-made dress form - specially fitted to your own figure!

The tutorial you receive will explain everything you need to know in order to make your own home-made, "you-sized" dress form. You will learn of the materials required to make the form and & you will receive carefully worked-out, step-by-step instructions to make it. Excerpt: "You are now going to learn something that has never been taught in any dressmaking course before. You are going to learn how to fit your own figure, without any outside aid whatever, without a dress form or a model lining. a little work and time—and you have before you a duplicate of your own figure with every little line and curve just exactly where it ought to be! This new way of fitting the figure, makes it easy for everyone in the family to have a perfectly-proportioned form of their own."

These instructions are from 1926 but [I think] they are still relevant to our modern day. The main material used in making the homemade dress form is gummed paper. However, I would think you could use pre-pasted wallpaper and have the same results. It is quite common to find old or scrap wallpaper at thrift stores and garage sales (I've often found it in the "free box"). I have not tried this wallpaper technique, so I can't say for sure if it would work, but my guess is that it would.

Design-It-Yourself Clothes: Patternmaking Simplified Overview

If you’ve ever watched Project Runway and wished you were a contestant, or you’re simply ready to take your sewing to a new level, Design-It-Yourself Clothes teaches you the fundamentals of modern patternmaking so that you, too, can create your own inspired clothing.


Until now, the aspiring DIY fashionista has been hard-pressed to find self-teaching tools other than dry textbooks or books with outdated looks. Finally, in Design-It-Yourself Clothes, former Urban Outfitters designer Cal Patch brings her youthful aesthetic to a how-to book. If you want to wear something you can’t find on store racks and make clothes that express your individual style, or if you’ve reached a sewing plateau and want to add pattern drafting to your repertoire, Design-It-Yourself Clothes is the book you have been waiting for.

In five key projects (each with four variations)–a perfect-fitting dress, T-shirt, button-down shirt, A-line skirt, and pants–Patch shares the art of patternmaking. At its core, it’s much simpler than you think. Patch covers everything an intermediate sewer needs to know in order to become a fabulous fashion designer, from designing the patterns, taking your own measurements, and choosing fabrics to actually sewing the clothing. You will also learn how to stylize patterns by using darts, waistbands, patch pockets, and ruffles. Patch offers tips, explanations, options, and exercises throughout that will make the design process that much easier.

But besides showing you how to create clothing from scratch, she also teaches you how to rub off patterns from existing clothing–so if you have a pair of pants that you love but are worn out, or you have your eye on a piece in the store with a prohibitive price tag, you can figure out how to get the looks you want by using your own two hands.

Blueprints of Fashion: Home Sewing Patterns of the 1950s (Schiffer Book for Collectors and Designers,) Overview

During the 1950s, many women used their sewing skills to recreate the incredibly feminine styles that were adapted into commercial sewing patterns. The 1950s saw renowned designers such as Lanvin, Fath, Schiaparelli, and Givenchy licensing their names and designs to pattern companies in record numbers: designers from Paris to New York to Hollywood can be accounted for in the pattern catalogs of the 1950s. Any woman who could sew could have the latest designer styles for a fraction of the cost. Using over 600 color photos, this informative and enjoyable text outlines the beginnings of the huge pattern industry, its evolution, and continuation through the 1950s. Numerous examples of pattern-related ephemera are pictured along with different types of fashions--from dresses to separates to evening gowns to lingerie. Also included are accessories, needlework, gifts, and toys. This is an invaluable guide for all who are interested in sewing or designing.

This complete guide includes analyzing a figure, measuring the body, customizing the pattern, and fine-tuning the fit with small adjustments like moving buttons and reshaping darts.

HOW TO MAKE A HOMEMADE DRESSFORM of Your EXACT Body Shape & Size! (sewing sew dress form Kindle download e-book ebook vintage) Overview

HOW TO MAKE A HOMEMADE DRESSFORM

Another intage pattern download for your Kindle!

Very interesting concept! A homemade dressform that is the exact same shape and size as your own body! Make one for yourself, your children, anyone you make clothing for!

Easily make your own clothing on a dress form that is identical in shape & contour to your own body! These step-by-step instructions will show you how to make a home-made dress form - specially fitted to your own figure!

The tutorial you receive will explain everything you need to know in order to make your own home-made, "you-sized" dress form. You will learn of the materials required to make the form and & you will receive carefully worked-out, step-by-step instructions to make it. Excerpt: "You are now going to learn something that has never been taught in any dressmaking course before. You are going to learn how to fit your own figure, without any outside aid whatever, without a dress form or a model lining. a little work and time—and you have before you a duplicate of your own figure with every little line and curve just exactly where it ought to be! This new way of fitting the figure, makes it easy for everyone in the family to have a perfectly-proportioned form of their own."

These instructions are from 1926 but [I think] they are still relevant to our modern day. The main material used in making the homemade dress form is gummed paper. However, I would think you could use pre-pasted wallpaper and have the same results. It is quite common to find old or scrap wallpaper at thrift stores and garage sales (I've often found it in the "free box"). I have not tried this wallpaper technique, so I can't say for sure if it would work, but my guess is that it would.
