This downloadable PDF can be printed at home and includes the pattern and full photographic instructions for sewing your own half scale male mannequin. The mannequin is proportional so can be used to help develop sewing patterns, or just as a delightful room decoration/jewellery stand.

It has a weighted base so can stand alone on a table, or for draping full length garments it can be hung at any height from the loop in the top. The height of the mannequin stood on a table is 18” (46cm).

Mannequin Measurements: Chest 19 1/2” (49.5cm) / Waist 16 1/2“ (42cm) / Hip 19 1/2” (49.5cm)

Full Size Equivalent: Chest 39” (99cm) / Waist 33“ (84cm) / Hip 39” (99cm)

The mannequin has been designed to be made at home using materials you could reasonably find around the house:

• 0.5m cover fabric & 0.5m of medium weight cotton

• 300g of wadding/poly-fil or approx. 1.5kg or cut up fabric scraps to stuff it with

• Coins, washers, rice or lentils to weight the base

• Stiff cardboard for the neck, arm holes and leg holes

• Cotton tape, ribbon or cord for the hanging loop

• A large button to anchor the hanging loop

A pattern for a stand to raise the mannequin up off the table is sold separately.
