Another Great 3-D Pattern Technique

This one at Instructables uses packing tape, which is cheap and easy to use.  Packing tape doesn’t stretch, however, so this method is best for making patterns for stiffer fabrics like felt or woven cotton.  You can also have a friend wrap your body using packing tape to create a customized dress form.  I made them with my friend Elissa last year and they are awesome.
