Inspired........

I found this pattern online last week and was inspired to give it a try, I just love dress forms and they are great for display. But, they are usually damaged, dirty, and not in very good shape. So I thought how hard could this be? So I did it, and what do you think? I used some fabric panels I had bought for chairs to give them a french look. I really like the one I did out of painters cloth though and thought it might be fun to grunge it up a bit, I'll try that next........ So let me know what you think, do they look too homemade? If you like them, I might make some to sell. Cheers, lauri

Pattern is available on etsy at 4myfavoritethings.

  4. I think you have just found another "hit". The forms look awesome, especially since they have your touch.
