Christmas Present: Dress Form style

Being that I am not on this blog often, and it is not public, I feel safe writing this without the fear the my sweet mother-in-law finding out what I- rather my husband and I- are making her:) A dressform:) Here is an image of what I believe she would like...

I am sooo excited about it!!!!
So here is how we are making it- I found this website after we began, but it is a great tutorial!!!

Supplies:
Duck-tape
Old long tea-shirt- I used the hubbies because it was longer than my undershirts
Saran-wrap- for around your neck
Batting- I used the fake snow, it was the same product for less money:)- almost 4 bags
Cardboard- I saved a cardboard box for this, cut out and covered the base, 2 arm holes, and neck hole
Base: John made the base
Paint: We will use spray paint for the base
Batting: for around the form-a bit more cushion, probably not necessary
fabric: for making it pretty
Sewing machine, thread, needle:)



Here is what we have so far:

Step 1: Duck-taping my body, yes I may have enhanced a few areas to make it look more voluptuous:) John did all the work here:)

Step 2: Stuffing the form, did it around the base- and used cardboard to cover up any holes:)

Do you see the green tree branches in the right corner, that's right, we bought a tree! Well it is currently leaning against our couch- couldn't find our tree stand? Perhaps we threw it out in our move, who knows? haha oh and a God thing- John got the last one int he store at lunch. He asked around, they were out, but J spotted one in a cart and the store said there was a part missing,  if you know my husband, he is so handy and creative so found the piece and got us a tree stand!!!! Soooo excited

What little miracle has God done to show you how much he loves YOU lately? :-)

P.S. we are getting internet this Friday!!! Can't wait to finish and also be able to work on this at home!!! :0)
