Well, my dress form arrived on Friday and I love it! I've named her Penny! Thanks Roslyn! LOL

Sadly, even though I now own the fancy form my sewing mojo is a no-show. I really think it's the crazy weather we've been having. Over the weekend it was sunny and almost 70°. I saw quite a few people in shorts. Last night and this morning? Snow flurries! Sigh... I'll just be glad when it's finally Spring and the flowers start to bloom.

Since there hasn't been any sewing, I've had the opportunity to peruse all of the Spring magazines. I've been ripping pages out left and right!

I know that I MUST have:

• something orange or coral
• a crisp white sheath dress
• a crisp white shirt (probably a few!)
  
• khaki utility pants
• khaki utility skirt
• khaki shirt dress
  
• something gray
• something turquoise
  

Have YOU been inspired to start Spring sewing yet?

*** UPDATE (2/15/10): I went ahead and purchased the PGM Pro. I bought it on eBay from PGM Pro. It was less than $400 and the shipping was FREE! I'll do a post about it as soon as it arrives!

While reading my draping book, I realized that my Twin-Fit dress form ain't gonna cut it! I'm going to need a pinnable form.

My first choice is a professional type, like the PGM Pro:

I'm not going to lie. I scoffed at the $400 price tag and kept looking.

I've seen a few sewing bloggers use the Uniquely You Pinnable Dress Form:

This one is $139 (with free shipping at AllBrands.com) which makes it really attractive to me. Another plus with this one is it comes with a tan cover, NOT this Pepto-Bismal pink one.

If you drape, what type of dress form do YOU have?
