Sew Dresses has found another great video from Threadbanger that shows you not only an easy way to alter shirts to make them fit better, (also works great to alter dresses that do not have a waistband) but also how to make your own body double form with just an old t-shirt, duct tape and a friend. I love their videos, as you can tell.

I've been sewing since I was a child (a long, long time ago) and recently my daughter showed an interest in making something special. Bringing out the sewing machine always makes me wonder why I ever put it away. I really enjoy sewing and creating things to wear and look forward to sharing all the tips and tricks I use to help make things fit and flatter me when I sew dresses and anything else.

You saved my life by watching this video. I was about to go to Banana Republic, get fitted, and spend thousands on a new wardrobe. Now I can modify all my existing shirts to fit perfectly. I’m very excited to try this.

Also, I saw this guy with a messenger bag MADE ENTIRELY OUT OF DUCT TAPE. Hope you guys have a how to on that. I wonder if he covered an old bag with duct tape, or if it was actually made from duct tape alone. Please let me know if you guys find anything!

the problem with …
the problem with duct tape body molds is that you can’t stick pins in them, because
a) they would come out all sticky from the glue
b)they wouldn’t stick, ductape is too thick
also, the bodyform won’t be exact.

they’re not william sledd wannabes. william sledd talks about what to wear, and how to wear it. thread banger talks about making your own clothes, or anything else DIY. theyre totally different.
