Between Projects will be a new feature where I share something not related to a specific project but that might still be of interest to readers.
This post will share how I sorta solved a problem I've been having. I have a dress form, which I love and use all the time. The problem is that in order to move it, I have to be careful and lift only from the bottom pole. This makes for awkward body positioning, especially if I have something on the form (which I usually do). I don't have a huge space for sewing so the dress form is moved quite frequently.
BTW - does anyone else get freaked out at walking in on their dress form in the dark? No, just me? Okay then.
I thought it might be easier if the dress form were on wheels, so I looked at other options. Very few dress forms come with wheelie options, and they weren't cheap. So I thought that I could perhaps buy my own set of wheels and figure out how to attach them to the dress form.
A search of Amazon found this, and it seemed like it might work. I measured the distance between the feet of the dress form, and it seemed like this dolly would be the right size. If not, I could put a thin piece of wood on top.
The dolly arrived and was simple to assemble, and my dress form fits perfectly on it. Problem solved!
