This little dress form is fun to make and it makes a great workshop decoration and also can be an awesome gift for anyone who loves sewing! You can make it in a day, and it is not a very complicated project, so you will be able to make it even if you don't have a big experience in leather craft.

The pattern has stitching holes marked for 5mm stitching irons.

Height: 
Dress form itself: 8” 
Overall with stand: 12.5” 
Of course you can make your own stand any size you like.

What you are gonna need: 

Tools:

Knife or scissors, stitching irons, maul or mallet, hole punch, pair of harness needles, waxed thread. 

Materials:

I used firm 3 oz crazy horse. I suggest using firm leather but medium is also fine since it’s stuffed. I believe you can even use some soft leather or even fabric (but in this case it should be sewn turned) because stuffing gives it its structure. 

Padding polyester or any filling that you have on hand. 

For the stand base I used Chinese chopsticks and 4mm leather but if you have anything that can replace it you can use whatever you like. Candle holder, for example.

Some glue.

Hardware:

1 big fat Sam Browne stud (button stud) or anything else that resembles the decorative thingy that regular dress forms have on top of their neck.
