Finally... An Adjustable
dressmaker's Dummy For Kids

That Grows With Your Child
And Stands Still While You Sew!

"Here's How to Take The Guess Work
Out of sewing childrenswear
in the easiest, stress-free way..."



Congratulations on your decision to search for a dressmaking model just for kids...
Your sewing adventure is about to become tantrum-free!


Imagine if you could .......

Whip up all the garments you'd loved to see on your child - in blogs, magazines, Instagram & Pinterest...

If Only .......

Kids would stand still long enough - so that you can check the fit as you sew - from start to finish!?


If you're looking at this Kid's Dressmaker's Dummy, chances are...

• You're learning to sew, and you need one for making children's wear.
• You love to make kids'clothes, but struggled with fitting when they're at school.
• You have a long list of things to make for your kids - like tutu, dress-up costumes, school uniforms - if only they'd stand still long enough!
  
• You're making flower girl / page boys outfits, and fed up with trying to put half-pinned garments on wriggling, complaining little humans!
  

You're not alone. Work-in-progress fitting for your children is fiddly (and full of pins) - but unavoidable. Because getting the right fit depends on it.


What if work-in-progress fitting for children was easier than you think?

Often the hard part is to come up with exactly the right tool, for the right job, at the right price. Of course, there is no doubt that in order to create beautiful garments, you need to practice.....

But the first step is having the right equipment on hand.

The Secret of Stress-free Fitting is with a Children's Adjustable Mannequin (that acts as your child's body double while you work).

Simply adjust the dials to their measurements - then pad up to reflect their true shape if you need, because no two people have the same shape :-)




Here's a little bit of insider information...

Having worked for a decade or so behind the scene in the clothing industry, I was formally trained as a Fashion Designer - and later spent 10 years teaching others the joy of sewing. I like to share insider tricks, and I believe in doing things properly.


Now, let me share a little-known secret from behind the scene...

Store-bought sewing patterns rarely fit properly, straight out of the pack.

The best way to achieve perfect fitting for children is to simply make a "trail" garment in calico first, put it on the dummy, then complete the fitting by making adjustments. If you didn't have time to do this, at least check your pattern by pinning it on the mannquin first.



Taking the time to do the fitting properly for childrenswear is worth your while - because it will give you a better result, also avoid tantrums & wasted time!


Think About it...

Buying clothes for kids can be a PAIN...

    * You can't find things in nice fabrics
    * Everything starts to look the same
    * NOTHING fits them properly

Beside - they grow out of their clothes so quickly anyway. So....

Why Should You Pay Heaps for Designer Kidswear when you can  just whip 'em up yourself - in the fabric of  your choice. Right?



So, How Does an Adjustable Kid's Form Help?

A child's dress form will make garment making and alterations easier, more satisfying and more rewarding than you ever thought possible.

It's the only sure way of achieving a really professional look and a bespoke fit to garments, whether you're making dance outfits or uniforms.

When the adjustable kid's dummy has been adjusted to specific measurements it becomes a replica of your child (especially if they won't co-operate during fitting).

Better still - being adjustable means you can  keep up with their growing!

And that's why tricky tasks like pattern fitting, fabric pinning, tacking, setting in of sleeves and darts, and many more tricks of the trade can be carried out on the mannequin, avoiding the irritation (not to mention the waste of time) of constantly trying the garment on them, and taking it off, and back on again...

Hey, making your own kid's clothes is supposed to be FUN, remember?

Meet your very own Mannequin for Childrenswear....

The name is Junior.
("Hello," says Junior, "Ready to make something fun for the kids....?")

Sometimes known as dress form, even dressmaker's dummy
(awwww... we KNOW she's not dumb, even if Junior doesn't have a head)........
....... Junior might just be the sewing buddy you need!!




An ideal sewing companion, Junior is a fully adjustable, uni-sex form.


Junior can help you with:

• pattern adjustments before cutting,
  
  
• better fittings and alterations
  
  
• grows as they grow, so everything you make will fit perfectly!
  
  
• Save Money by doing the work yourself - instead of paying for designer brands.
  
  
• an opportunity to try ambitious projects - such as a dance costume - just like they do in a real designer boutiques!!!

Clever Junior has some nifty tricks to  help YOU...
Achieve  perfect fitting every time - no matter how fast your kids grow!


Check out....

• The twelve (12) dials make it easy to change the dimensions of the body, including settings at the neck for smooth collars and necklines.
• Junior's 8 piece body allows for even distribution of measurements, for a realistic and flattering fit.
• The height also adjusts, and a  hem gauge comes included to mark the hemline for skirts and dresses.
• Valour / foam covered makes it  possible to pin your fabric and pattern in an angle, so you can always check to make sure you get a perfect fit!
• Did you know that her  torso can be lengthened when a longer back measurement is required...? Just another secret for advance dressmaking!
• Junior's neck is also fully adjustable with an auto-set system and a BONUS useful pin cushion too!!!
• The kid has strength - made from a strong yet flexible plastic material, hollow on the inside for adjustablity, and covered in nylon foam-backed fabric.
• Standing tall and proud with a stable metal tripod stand - Junior will be there for you whenever you sew - and standing still too!!
• Junior is adjustable so you'd only need the  ONE size (the adjustments cater for kids  aged 6 to 10 approximately - depends on the child).
• Junior's full shoulders are life-like and essential for a better hang to sleeves - which beats trying on half-finished garments with pinned-on sleeves (ouch)....!!

Do I Really Need a Dressmaker's Dummy for Kids...?

More to the point: Can you really do without one....?

Think About This: Do Kids EVER stop Wriggling or Growing?

If you're interested in designing and making fabulous outfits for your own kids, a career in fashion / costume design for children, an income from dressmaking or alterations for other parents, or simply need to whip up a batch of flower girls / page boys outfits for a wedding..... you'll need a Junior dress form.


A child's dressmaker's model is invaluable in garment making....

• whether you sew for your own kids or others
• whether you are a beginner or a professional dressmaker
• you will become quite attached to your new sewing assistant!

Think about what you can do with your own adjustable child's mannequin....

• Check the drape of fabric. Is your fabric suitable for the pattern you have selected?
  
• Style an outfit by draping co-ordinating fabrics together, to see how they would look for, say, a jacket and shirt.
  
• Fit a tissue pattern straight from the pack, or one that you've drafted yourself
  
• Check the placement of features, pockets and buttonholes.... do they look right where they are? Be sure... because once they are there, you can't really un-do them!
  
• Establish the position of collars and waistlines. This alone will make a difference in whether your garment looks professional or amateurish.... and you know which one you want to be!
  
• Position lace, trims, ribbons and appliques on garments. Embellishments should NOT take over.. they need to be just right.
  
• Check or plan the placement for machine embroidery designs. Nothing worse than a badly placed motif or logo!
  
• Pin sleeves in position, based on your shoulder length. Tack in place, then machine stitch. Easy!
  
• Mark hems for alteration. Never put up with wonky hems again!
• Fit and hang tutus as you sew.... and same goes for formals and dance dresses too.
  
• Check the ease and drape. You don't want to spend hours sewing just to find the whole thing too tight or too loose!
• Have the completed outfit for important occasions  on the dummy the night before, so getting ready to head out the door is totally stress-free (and you will never be late again because you won't have to double-back with forgotten things)...!

So the question is: Can YOU Really Do Without a Kids Dress Form??

Why Not Grab Yours NOW....!

Imagine: How  much easier would it be to take care of all the kids outfits for special occasions - all  different sizes - all  at once...?!

                                  














So, How Do I Make Adjustments on the Mannequin ?


Before you begin to adjust the dressmaker's model to specific measurements, expand the body by loosening all the adjusters evenly, in small increments at a time.


We suggest you make the adjustments, working from the hip level upwards.

This will release any tension on the body and will make subsequent adjustments smoother.
It will also help you to familiarise yourself with the operation of the adjusters (i.e. dials or wheels). These are for adjusting the measurements at bust, waist and hips.




Get to know your dress form

Your dress form will either have dials or wheels (See Figs 4 and 5).

Fig 4 shows the 'dial' system. Select the dial you wish to set, steady the model with one hand and with the other hand squeeze the adjuster together. To increase the measurement, turn clockwise until the indicator points to the required measurement on the outer ring, and then release to lock in place.

Fig 5 shows the 'wheel' system. Adjustments are made by turning the wheels downwards to increase the size and upwards to reduce.

The neck design for your mannequin will have either a dial or a knob (See Fig 6 and 7).

In Fig 6 the neck is adjusted by pushing in the knob in the centre of the neck at the same time as turning it in a clockwise direction. A useful Pin Cushion is provided in the neck cap.

In Fig 7, slightly unscrew the Pin Cushion and turn the Top Cap in a clockwise direction until the size required registers with the marker at the front of the model. Re-tighten the Pin Cushion. If your dress model is a Junior size, adjust the neck slightly, loosen the top knob and move the sections equally to the size required. Re-tighten the knob firmly.














What's involved in the Assembly?
Is it Easy to put together?


Yes, definitely - and you DON'T need special tools to do it!

Once you've unpacked and unwrapped all the bits and pieces from the box, you will find one centre pole and 3 rods. One end of the rods have a flared edge, the other end is flush.

Simply insert the rods into the slots (as shown). Then put the three rubber caps on the flush end of the rods.




Now, put the torso on and Junior is ready for action!

1. A seemingly simple project takes forever to complete.... because you keep on putting it on them (to check the fit), taking it off (to work on it). If only they stand still....
   
2. You end up unpicking a finished garment because you're just NOT happy with how it fits on your child... and you have to start from scratch all over again. NOOOOO!!!!!
3. Worse of all, it's very likely that you could run out of fabric, or patience, or BOTH!
