Dritz "My Double" Dress Form - Petite Review

Dritz 'My Double' Dress Form - Petitei bought this product rushedly. that was a mistake on my part. this sewing dummy does not have the average shape of a woman.

for women with wide ribcages and small breasts, wide hips but no [...], this is for you. i am NOT in anyway downtalking women like that. i am simply saying that this dummy was made for women of that body type. i do not have that body type and when i started making clothes acording to this dummy, my clothes were turning out to hardly fit me right at all. not to mention that the dummy does not have a natural curving body. when to the side, it is straight as a board. the natural human body has a dip in the lower back and then curves back out to where your [...] is. not this dummy, though. just straight down. big disappointment

but other than that there is more bad things to add about this dummy

it is not well made. the quality is low. after i adjusted the dummy just a couple of times, the top of the dummy started to detatch from the pole and therefore making the torso completely uneven. the adjusting system is VERY bad quality

i have to use duct tape to kepp my dummy from detatching again. therefore: i can't adjust it anymore

so please if u are looking for a dummy that will fit the average girl's body well and that will stay in tact, do NOT get this dummy

Sew Fast Sew Easy's Hipster 1/4 Circle Flared Skirt Sewing Pattern Review

Sew Fast Sew Easy's Hipster 1/4 Circle Flared Skirt Sewing PatternI've been looking for an easy circle skirt pattern that I could use over and over, and this definitely fits the bill. It took me about two hours to make my first skirt, but I added a few embellishments that made the process a little more complicated. I believe that if one makes their skirt exactly as described in the directions, then it would probably take an hour or so at the most.

The only reason that I don't give this wonderful pattern a 5-star rating is that there are a few little things that could stand to be improved. First, the directions are simple, but littered with amateurish, hand-drawn illustrations. The quality of the illustrations isn't so great and it sort of annoyed me that I paid $12 for a pattern they didn't even bother to illustrate very well. Second, the instructions tell you to choose your skirt length (a very nice feature) but to add 5 inches to this number when actually cutting the material. I found that the additional 5 inches were unnecessary. These extra inches just add an additional step for later, when you would have to hem the bottom up considerably. In my opinion, it would be better to just decide your skirt length, then add only a few inches to allow for the waistband and your bottom hem. That way, you wouldn't have to worry about taking the skirt up later. Third, it's a bit annoying to find out that you have to measure out your skirt length each time you use the pattern. Instead of a more traditional pattern in which you cut against a tissue paper template, this pattern requires a little bit of leg work, though I think that's ok since you can choose multiple skirt lengths depending on your mood.

But those three very small concerns are outweighed by the utility and ease of this pattern. If you're like me and you like your A-line skirts to fall to just below your knees, you could also just measure out your ideal skirt on a piece of muslin, then cut that out and use it just like a tissue paper pattern to save yourself time in the future.

BTW, this pattern calls for using 60-inch wide fabric only, but if you can't find a fabric you really like in that measurement, then you can do what I did. I used the Sew Fast So Easy Pattern, but folded the paper almost in half (not quite in half since I had to take into account a seam allowance of 1/2 inch on each side). That way, you can use smaller width fabrics if you need to. This adds an extra seam to fuss with, but I think the added flexibility of possible materials is worth it.

Artbin Sew-Lutions Sewing Basket/Box Review

Artbin Sew-Lutions Sewing Basket/BoxThis product would have earned the fifth star if it had a sturdy handle on top and a little beefier latch.I really like it, all my stuff fit in it, but it is thick and requires two hands to pick up.The latches are a bit wimpy too.These two improvements would go a long way to motivating me to buy the new and improved version.

Compact Foldaway Sewing Kit Review

Compact Foldaway Sewing KitCheaply made. Extremely small overall size. Has 24 pegs for spools of thread, but since they are way too close together, they won't hold regular sizes of spools. Came with 24 TINY spools of thread that won't last very long. Came with quite a few notions, but the straight pins weren't in a box. I could hear them rattling when I got the package. When I opened the box, pins were everywhere, and fell out all over the floor. The only really useful notion is a needle threader that comes with a magnifying glass. Came with bobbins for some reason, already loaded with thread. Of course the bobbins don't work with my machine and since you need to fill a bobbin with the thread you're using, these bobbins are useless. If this kit had cost $5.95, it would have been too expensive, but a little more reasonable for the quality of the product.
