Mannequin - one of the most important tools In the work of the dressmakers. It is necessary for fitting and fitting the sewage clothing. The device clearly demonstrates the features of the figure and makes it possible to create a product with all parameters.
Make a mannequin for the seamstress with your own hands.
Mannequin is a device that imitates the shape of the human body. It is used to fit clothes and corrections of sewing shortcomings. It helps to perform a snap and fitting of the product. In stores serves as a demonstrative allowance for showing goods. In classrooms - useful fit For classes.
Types of mannequins:
Note! Purchased mannequins cannot perfectly recreate the parameters of a particular person, they are released standard sizes. Play features of the figure can only mannequin made by individual measurements
Mannequin for sewing with her hands from sticky tape. You will need an unnecessary old T-shirt, four scotch bobbins, cardboard, food film and knitted fabric for external decoration. As a stand, you can use a rack for colors or a leg from the office stool. You also need to take a long metal tube to attach a mannequin to the rack. Mounting foam, sintepon, cut paper and foam rubber are suitable for packing. Cut the finished product with a knife or scissors.
Materials for homemade gypsum dummy:
Important! In the process of making a gypsum mannequin, a loss of consciousness is possible, so you need to have Validol with you and perform work only with an assistant
Materials for the manufacture of a torch mannequin at home:
Materials for creating a dad mannequin - Masha:
Materials for mannequin from mounting foam:
Preparatory stage. To make a mannequin Portnovsky with their own hands, you need to prepare materials and find an assistant, since it will not work alone.
You need to do the work at home in a cool, well-ventilated place, since the process will take several hours, and most of the time on the body of the model will be a tightly fitting "shell". Metal creation techniques are different, depending on the materials used, but the sequence of actions is the same.
The first stage, as you can do a mannequin for sewing:
Note! In order for the mannequin to receive the desired stiffness, the tape is glued under the breast and lay the cross-cross-time from the shoulders to the chest. Gradually covered with sticky ribbon all the T-shirt, including neck and top of the hands
Create a mannequin basis. After bolding the body with a scotch, the assistant knead the gypsum mixture for overlapping bandages.
Perform the following:
Note! The stage with gypsum bandages can be skipped and make a sewing mannequin with their own tape hands. A frame of sticky tape, made at the preparatory stage, you need to carefully cut the labels on the back on the back, remove with a person and glue the scotch. For hands and neck use circles cut from cardboard. They are installed and wrapped with sticky ribbon. The form is filled with mounting foam or syntheps. This method is faster and simple
Finish work. On the walls of the tailoring mannequin may remain paraffin. It must be removed using a sharp knife. In order to get a smooth surface, the mannequin is grinding fine-grained emery paper (not pressed strongly) and treated with a gypsum putty. Two thin layers will be enough. At the end, the surface of the mannequin is covered with a thin synthetic tubeboard or a Vatin. To give a more aesthetic appearance, it is "dressing" into the tight knitwear.
Make a stand for a mannequin. She needs a sewing master to be more convenient to use a mannequin. Produce a stand from the submitted means. For example, the shovel cuttings can be inserted into the crossbar of wooden bars (like a Christmas tree). Another option is the leg of the office chair. It is stable and can rotate. The size of the leg must coincide with the pipe diameter, otherwise the connection site will need to be sealing. Mannequin put on the free edge of the stick.
Additional Information! The height of the stand is calculated based on its growth. The cutlets to the cross are attached using self-tapping screws, metal or wooden corners. Instead, you can use any horizontal stick or pipe.
During the manufacture of a self-made mannequin for tailoring, it is not necessary to sharpen a sticky tape. Coincidences are made from bottom-up, the last amount of the tape is wound on the chest. It is necessary that the lungs and heart are less than the created mannequin under the created shell. In order for the product to be durable, it is recommended to use reinforced construction tape.
Apply gypsum bandages as quickly as possible. After covering the shape of the bandages, the person will have to be in a fixed position of 30-40 minutes. Ready mannequin can be chopped with knitwear, velvet, thin drape or cashmere. The fabric is cut up by the usual template, not forgetting about allowances. Premises do not cut out.
Mannequin is a great handmade assistant who often sews clothes. It helps to detect all the inaccuracies of the work that you need to fix. Serves as a device for fitting and fitting the sewn products. As at home to make a portno mannequin with their own hands, see video.
Mannequins are actively used in various fields of activity. They are needed not only to those who are engaged in tailoring. Actively used in trade, demonstrating an existing product. For what would you need them, you may not purchase them in the store, but make your own hands.
An important part of any mannequin is considered to be the stand. Thanks to her, it will keep stability, it will be more convenient for you to try clothing and so on. They differ mainly due to the materials used for this.
When you made your mannequin, more precisely the upper part of it, retain it aside and do the bottom. The stand is pretty simple. Usually used primary means. You can make it in the following ways:
You will need a minimum of time and girlfriend. It is best to choose a leg of an office chair for this, which is most suitable for the stand. The value primarily has the reliability of the structure. For convenience, the mannequin must be stable.
Many girls who prefer not to buy ready-made clothes, and to sew it to order sooner or later realize the need for mannequin. Of course, it is easier to buy a ready-made mannequin, but it is not always possible, and prices are sometimes very biting. How then to be? Right, make it yourself! Before you a brief photo report about the manufacture of a mannequin with your own hands at home
I explain for incomprehensible:
I personally need a mannequin in order not to spend time on traveling for approximately your dressmaker. The fact that I do not buy myself ready to clothing and all sew individually to order. And this is very burdensome in terms of time, considering the degree of my employment. Therefore, by agreement with their dressmaker, we decided that I would give her an exact copy of me myself, and she would not pull me out of the workdays on fittings and fit.
But besides its direct destination, the mannequin can also be a beautiful interior item and even be a convenient device, for example, in a reception or personal wardrobe.
The mannequin is indispensable in cases where it is necessary to smooth some thing that it is unrealled by an iron on the ironing board, and on the mannequin with the help of a steamer it can be done once or two.
You can of course go and buy a ready-made mannequin, but it has standard dimensions And does not repeat the characteristics of your figure. Yes, it costs 6.500-7.000 rubles, and our cost about 1,000 rubles. Savings are tangible.
I convinced my sun in the necessity and utility of this device and we began to build (Roden in the coffin nervously tumbling ...)
The main goal of my work will be exactly the creation of an accurate copy of my figure. To do this, it is necessary to initially remove the control standards for which we will be focused in the future.
To work, I needed a diligent, creative and cheerful assistant. He is a photographer. This is my suns.
At the very beginning, we take the food film and carefully, not squeezing the body, turn it out with it torso, fixing the edges with pieces of scotch. You can use large kissing packages for garbage, cutting them. What to wipe the figure is not so important that there is in stock, then use.
Now you need the whole body covered with a film, stick to scotch. Glit neatly, without crimping and without pulling the natural bulges of the shape. It is best to take small segments of Scotch from 5 to 20 cm and consistently stick them on the body with a small adhesive. The factory of the bulge, the less pieces need to be taken.
Ultimately, we have this kind. I took the color scotch so that it was better visible in the photo.
Now, when preparatory stage The work is completed, proceed to the most interesting and very responsible event - we will make a gypsum cast from the figure. For this, the best suited medical gypsum bandages that are sold in a pharmacy. We begin to impose wet bandages from the back until the cross is on the chest through the shoulders.
It is necessary in order for wet gypsum bandages by their own weight, sliding down the smooth surface of the scotch.
Gradually cover the bands the entire surface of the body to the waist, and then before the hip.
In order for our casting to have the necessary hardness and kept well the right shape, we put three layers of gypsum bandages. It would be more and more, but it is very difficult to physically withstand.
Now that all the torso is packed in the gypsum capsule, the most unpleasant and vigorous - you need to withstand the time so that the gypsum grabbing and froze. At this point, I, composed of a gypsum shelter, I understand my defenselessness, and my assistant suns constantly coming to me comparing me with Egyptian mummy. I can only show the language to him, because neither to go on, nor even sighed with a full breast. And still you need to stand preserving a natural posture. This, I will say you, do not pick up seeds. But the mood of both good and the sun supports me a glass of strong and hot tea.
Try the thread at leisure to drink hot tea through the straw. Unforgettable amusement attraction.
Gypsum cocoon froze. Now you need to remove it from the body. But first you need to apply control marks on the sides and on the shoulders, they will be required to align the business when assembling. Also we apply a horizontal line below the hip and vertical lines on the sides. These lines will be required in the future. We use a laser level for this. If someone has no laser level, I can explain how to do it in another way.
We cut the gypsum blinds on the sides and on the shoulders. The suns cut the sharp knife. It is necessary to do it carefully, not in a hurry, carefully, so as not to damage the body and accidentally do not cut appendicitis.
Two halves of plaster cast are easily separated from Scotch and that's what we got as a result.
The inner surface of the cast cover with a thin layer of putty to smooth out the resulting irregularities.
After drying, the entire surface inside the cast cover the melted paraffin from the ordinary candle. It took two candles.
Now you need to fill the inside of the mounting foam. So that the foam does not grab tightly with the gypsum form, we used the paraffin layer.
Fill over both halves of the forms of foam gradually layer over the layer, waiting time to harden each layer of foam.
In rear halves put the hanger-shoulders. Made it for the strength of the structure, because the main load will fall on the shoulders of the mannequin. Yes, and the hook is useful for convenience at further work.
We apply the last layer of foam on both halves of the form and collect everything together, combining two parts by control marks and fasten the resulting mummy scotch. Now you need time to make foam well frozen inside. I had urgent work and I conscientiously forgot about my mummy for almost a week.
It was very interesting to look at the results of our joint work and my torment. Before the start of the opening of the suns, the ordinary hacksaw was unnecessary from the distance along the horizontal label.
Removed tape. Both halves were well separated from the stamped indoors and our cloned figure opened our eyes.
In some places, paraffin remained and we gently scrape it with a knife. With the help of the same laser level, we apply the horizontal marking of the shoulders chest-waist-hidden and the middle of the handle and the back and the sides. So we check ourselves, there is no distortion. We do not have them.
Everything, as always, began not since. There was no idea to make a mannequin, but there was a need for a drawing of a stenched tailoring mannequin battered. Under the upholstery, a thin plastic form was discovered. And then he was remembered for twenty years as a unrealized desire to make a Venetian mask. Everyone did not reach the mask, but the idea to try as a papier-making washed bushes from the toilet paper came in three years ago, and since then these sleeves have been copied. And then the search for new opportunities for photographing their works, and uninteresting purchased mannequins, and the cost of interesting things ... In general, we went. Immediately make a reservation, I never did a papier-mâché, nor wire, therefore, most likely, broke a bunch of rules for handling these materials. Therefore, I will write about the errors that herself noticed - and you, making your dummy, do not repeat them.
Plastic shapes of the tailoring mannequin smeared with cream for hands and laid a layer of pieces of paper A4 on water.
The second layer of the sleeves did this: the sleeve disconnected the "seam", the rhomatic sheets of cardboard were obtained, which then rushed into pieces (at that moment I had not yet treated my venture seriously, I was curious to know whether the sleeves for the role of mass for the papier "Made, so I didn't bother with small pieces and glued with large stripes. If my daughter repeated the experiment, making a mask, and it turned out that it was easy to glue with small pieces and very easy to work out parts).
Prepared glue: on a glass of warm water - 1 tsp. glue for vinyl wallpaper (stirred to dissolution) and 4-5 tbsp. PVA glue.
These roller sleeves are very cunning and strive to dissolve right in their hands, so I approxed them to the selected place on the form, applied and immediately lubricated with a brush with glue. Paper weight at this time is very plastic and easy to smooth it. Adhesive in one layer with the allen. Last layer - Paper A4.
Repeated the process on the plastic form of the back.
My mistakes: It was necessary to pre-bind the half of the handling of paper scotch (as I did then with the halves of the back), then it would be easier to connect ready-made papier-mache forms. But the mannequin became much harder in the waist, I pulled it down when assembling :)
And the second mistake: the rolls are thick enough, therefore it makes sense to glue two layers, but without adhesion - it will be easier then with a putty.
My model dried in about a day, completely not deformed. Removed from the form is very easy. It turned out fine and very durable. The fact that it is a curve is the result of my careless work, I checked the possibilities of the material and did not particularly care about accuracy.
But since everything turned out, I decided to continue to do a mannequin in vintage style. I imagined how he could look, if I met him inhabiting some flea market.
Now the connection queue. Immediately there was a question of decorating the neck, or rather her stump. I needed some embodious book ... And then it was lucky, glance fell for glass jar with chinese tea. Form and size approached perfectly! It remains only to plant the lid from the can on liquid nails (moment installation).
And the pieces of the mannequin simply made a thin wire, since my papier-mâte was pushed with a thin seer. That's what I did. As already wrote above, the waist was pulled by the wrapping of the piers.
Printed in two layers acrylic paint For walls (universal, washing from Lerua Merlen), a layer of universal construction acrylic soil (also from Lerua).
As far as I know, it was necessary to treat Levukas for Papier-Masha, but I did not have it, and there were some remnants of materials after repair. Just in case, I put a layer of PVA, I was afraid that my mannequin was splashing from a wet putty. Well dried.
Then I leveled the entire design by the usual construction acrylic putty. I left without fanatism, because my mannequin is planned vintage and some irregularities should not spoil him (I will say right away that it turned out even too smoothly, it was necessary to leave more roughness).
The depressions on the chest (plastic molding plastic spaces) stole a layer of centimeters to one and a half - two - and nothing, papier-mache did not spin. Dried a day, a little processed with large emery paper, primed up the construction acrylic soil.
It turned out so hard hard. He looked sorry and clearly asked anything below the waist.
But I was not going to drag the bottom of the tailoring mannequin, and I was no more interesting to repeat the entire epic with pasting, so I was not interested, so I decided to make something "skirt".
At first, the thought of the wire basket came to mind, but I did not have anything suitable. So I had to do this basket.
We needed: two stakes of wire (one rigid - 2 mm, second soft - 1 mm) from Lerua Merlin, nippers, round-rolls, pliers and lampshade for lamb (also from Leroy, there is pretty big choice lampshots for 120-130 p).
Abazhur struck and received two wire rings (one with a fastening for a ceiling).
I think that it would be possible to do without lacing without lading and make these rings and the most, but first, I did not have a wire, in the strength of which I would be sure, and secondly - a fastening for a ceiling, resting on the table, I recorded me the desired height of the "skirts", which simplified the further assembly.
On a sheet of paper drawn the desired form, leaving the area of \u200b\u200bthe priests more. Rings bent a little. Fixed the form three stretch marks from the bottom and began to collect its basket.
First connected the rings with vertical stripes (approximately, marked with a selected fastening place, boned the pads a piece of wire slightly longer, wounded, holding the shape of the skirt in the head, raised the ends of the pliers and fixed the fastening site with thin wire). I got a frame with 14 vertical wires.
The round-rolls arbitrarily put the decor - cut the wire in the spirals arbitrarily and sometimes combined 2-3 elements of soft wire
Then in the artistic disorder collected all the elements, strengthened them to the frame and, sometimes, connecting with each other with a soft wire. It turned out such a lampsurocoline.
My mistake: It was necessary to use a softer copper wire or attract coarse male strength, because my hands didn't like this stage at all. Male strength I tried to attract; She bent well, but the direction of the bends, alas, did not catch.
The shape quite arranged me, but with vintage it turned out badly. Therefore, I stuffed the whole structure of texture paste. During the night, she dried up and gave my basket a rather pitiful look, but further fixed the components.
It turned out to be very uncomfortable to remove the pasta burrs of emery paper, and the nozzle on the drill instantly rushed the pasta at all. I have already completely gathered to upload, but I remembered the crucifier on time. And she did not let down! Pasta polished literally in minutes. The sharp ends of the wire smoothed and the whole design was very smooth and pleasant to the touch. Brass bristle also painted the paste, giving the wire the desired vintage fler.
Further connected torso with a basket. A few paired holes drilled on the waist and made a thin wire. The design turned out to be stable, but just in case, I still went through liquid nails on the inner contour of the connection.
There would not have prevented the skills of decoupage, but this, alas, not mine. Colored mannequin two-component paint "Antique Silver" (American Accents) and he began to attack the thoughts about Knight's tournaments and Jeanne d'Ark.
That is, with the flea market, the mannequin is already quite associated, but with my knitted scarves that I was going to take pictures on him - at all.
I decided to add curls to decor. I painted on the sheets of paper the contours of therapy, put sheets into files, the files smeared with hand cream (just in case it was glued to). Prepared a lot of drawing: 1 x 1 Textural paste and a putty for wood (I have an elastic for Wood). Added water to the consistency of very thick sour cream and with the help of a confectionery bag squeezed the paste to the file.
They dried overnight and very easily separated from the file. It turned out something average between rubber and plastic (if I finally get someday before making a mask, it would be just an indispensable material for the decor). Blucked monogram on the PVA, in the scene of the torso connection with a basket made a smooth transition to the wire. My Jeanne d'Ark began to resemble a strange cream cake :)
In places caused scratches, scratches, scratches and chips (nail, emery, knife) on the monogram. Painted her stucco.
My mistake: glue the monogram was needed to general painting, then I would not have to mess with a thin tassel. Mitality in my mannequin was dressed, but the knitted scarf with his neck was still not associated.
I did not have time to upset - my daughter came and took the management of the process. She gathered almost all the paints that were found in the house (including construction, decorative, paints / contours for fabric and for glass), and we are four hands for a whole hour arbitrarily smeared and chpocata with semihow brushes and sponges. And that's what happened in the end.
If I were a decoupaper, I would have done the effect of the old paper if I knew how to weave from the wire - I would have made openwork weaving, but, in general, I liked the result. And most importantly - it was very interesting!
With a sprawl, another little mannequin in the style of Provence.

If you sew clothes for yourself, it is best to buy a soft mannequin. It is lightweight, durable, resistant to high temperatures and deformations. This design has a fixed size, but it can be easily squeezed to, for example, wear a thing from an unpromalous fabric. In addition, you can disappear clothes right on the mannequin. A soft mannequin is able to absorb excess moisture and does not spoil from high temperature.
This mannequin is easy to do and independently. This method is cheap and does not require a lot of time. This is especially convenient if you need a sewing mannequin for children's clothing. First, children do not like long fitting, and work with a mannequin will be much more convenient for you. Secondly, boys and girls grow rapidly, the proportions change. Making a new soft mannequin will not be difficult and high costs.
To get started, you will need the following:
As you can see, nothing complicated and expensive is not necessary in order to make a soft mannequin yourself. T-shirt can take the one that is no longer going to wear (old, with a stain). It is used as the basis, namely the inner layer.
Find a convenient time and proceed to the execution of the mannequin. If you do to the child, warn it that it takes about half an hour, as everything needs to be done at a time. The sequence of work will be like:
1. Put on your model a cooked T-shirt. If you make a female sewing mannequin, brass must be put on. If a large cutout on a T-shirt, close it with a film or package;
2. Start modeling. Stick the scotch band under the breast, as well as in the directions from the shoulders through the middle of the chest;
3. Continue to glue bands in parallel, while the upper part is completely filled;
4. Form your shoulders and sleeves;
5. Stick the stripes along the waist and hips. Also form the surface completely;
6. When the entire T-shirt is placed, you can repeat the procedure with the second layer for strength;
7. Gently cut the T-shirt with scissors together with the glued sheet of the tape and remove the product obtained from the model. The rest is done without its participation;
8. glue your soft mannequin by cutting strip Scotch;
9. Clamp holes where there were hands;
10. Fill the product with a hollowberry or any other material;
11. Make donyshko from cardboard for design and stick to the mannequin;
12. Use the design for fixing the design or leave it.
All is ready. Now you have a sewing mannequin, exactly repeating the figure of your model. Use and enjoy the convenience of a simple and inexpensive thing made by yourself half an hour.
So, you learned how to make a sewing mannequin with your own hands. As you can see, it is quite simple, and most importantly - cheap. A set of T-shirt, Scotch and filler will cost you quite inexpensive. But if it doesn't matter for you, it seems too complicated for you, then buy ready-made, for example, a soft mannequin. Especially convenient to use them if you sew clothes for yourself. Select the product is easy. Order and get even easier!
