DIY custom dress form with pattern from Bootstrap fashion

Now time stamped so you can find the spot you want quicker (-: Use closed caption for the parts where my voice is low.

I used upholstery fabric. I made sure the fabric had minimal to no stretch each direction, minimal to no nap, minimal to NO fray, on the thicker side, and one color.

I use gloves because my hands are very dry and crack. The gloves keeps the oils in my skin from being absorbed into the fabric. The gloves also give me better grip on the fabric.
