First, let me introduce you to: Formy!
Formy is my brand new Singer adjustable dress form. She was a group gift from my mom, my grandma, and myself. It's really boosted my self-esteem to get her. I think many women have skewed views of their bodies, me included. When I set the dials to my measurements, I thought, "She looks good! Do I look like that?" I measured again, and the measurements matched up. Sure, her boobs are a different shape, and she doesn't have a tummy, but I still think that Formy and I have a nice figure! And I know she's going to help with sewing garments.Next up is, my very own serger!!!
I have always enviously looked at other's beautifully serged seams. I am mystified and excited to try serging my own. My sister's sister-in-law wasn't using her serger, and offered to give it to my sister, so she could give it to me. It's on the way, and I'm really excited to try this puppy out! I see many serged garments in my future. Hooray!(I don't know what kind it is, so this is just a random serger picture.)
Crazy! I turn 29 tomorrow. Awesome dress form. I came so close to having a serger last year (second-hand from my grandma), but my dad mistakenly gave it away from his garage not knowing it was earmarked for me to pick up! Sad. Oh well, some day fairly soon...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Love the dress form. I got one for my 21st. It's red. I am thinking of recovering it in a lighter fabric so it doesn't clash so much with everything I put on it.
