Duct Tape Double

Saturday, May 16, 2009

My sis was here visiting from Missouri this week and among the many projects I had planned for us to do, was to make a duct tape double of my body for sewing purposes (yes, I am expanding my media toolbox yet again). Anyway, my husband has been too swamped to help me with this, and there's no one else in the world I would trust to cover my body in plastic wrap and duct tape, except my sister. If you are planning on sewing garments...or in my case, possibly costumes, then making a body double will give you the most accurate measurements. Overall, the project turned out as good as I could expect. It was a little difficult for me because I get clastrophobic. None of my skin was damaged in this experiment.
