- ❤️Singer 150 Adjustable Dress Form: amzn.to/3pKWiNq
In this video I am going to show you how I adjusted my Singer 150 dress form. It was a very affordable model. One complaint a lot of people have is that the dials are easy to break and the mannequin itself is easy to break. I suggest that you are careful with it. It will not tip over. It is pinnable. I feel that it was a good buy for the amount I paid. Since I've had it I have made a few projects with it. It has been such a game changer and saving time and being able to see what it my project looks like from all angles.
About Sewing woth Maryrose:
I started sewing when I was in eighth grade. I stopped for several years and returned to it and find that it is relaxing, enjoyable and I get to be creative which is a great outlet for those who love doing creative things.

that retractable measuring tape is the tape i didn't know i needed what a surprise finding thank you
Thanks for your comment!
I got this model and was so scared of breaking it after reading the reviews online! Thank you for your video, it’s made me feel a bit more confident!
Thank you for your response. Just be careful with it. You want to make sure that you are spinning the dials evenly all the way around. What do you think of it so far?
@@sewingwithmaryrose love her! She doesn’t complain about being stabbed with pins like my friends do! 😂 And I’m beginning to experiment with draping for the first time… so fun!
@@livyourlife2039 It has been fun draping projects, Enjoy your singer 150. I think your friends are happy you have your mannequin as well 😆 This is my first mannequin as well. I am just so happy that I have it! It has been such a timesaver!
There pretty hard to break . I got the same one for Xmas. Last ‘21 and it’s still standing considering I have 2 cats who like to use too
I wish stores had men's versions more available. I first started sewing men's clothes and always wanted to body double. I can totally see how helpful it can be. Great reminder about adding padding to those places where we might be irregular. (Is that the nice way of saying lop-sided? LOL). That tape measure looks SUPER helpful and I'm sure knitters would love it too! Thanks again for sharing : ) -Best, Chip 😀
Yes, I agree, they should make male versions more readily available. I did find an adjustable male garment form see link below. You might also consider getting a smaller female version and padding it (link below) Thanks for stopping by!

thank you I ha e the singer 151 and i can use now that see what do do for my self.
Thank you, this video was short and straight to the point which I prefer. and very helpful. Is this dress form/model adjustable in the body length, ie nape to hip??
I love my Singer 150! I’ve named her Betty after my aunt who showed me how fun sewing could be! Do you have a dress form you recommend?
remember to adjust the head dial too!
Thank you! I just got one today, I have all of the measurements except for the lengthening or shortening the waist. It tells me that I have to go underneath and turn something but I'm really unsure how to do that.
Hello! Yes, you are able to lengthen the torso up to approximately 2” longer but not shorter on the small/medium Singer 150 dress form.
When you are on the inside of the form, there is a while pole that extends from the neck down through the center of the form. At the end of the white pole, there is a pink plastic overlay with 3 notches with a red adjusting handle over the pink plastic overlay with 3 notches with spaces for the notches to catch on. You need to move / turn the red adjusting handle to move up the notches to increase the length of the torso. Be very careful when adjusting it. I suggest putting it in a sofa or bed. It’s not easy and it takes a bit of muscle to adjust it.
@@sewingwithmaryrose Thank you, I've got it all adjusted except for the neck and I still have to raise it 2cm for the height but it's all pretty exact right now. I'm just 5'2 inches.
@@oskarmolly That’s great! I’m so happy for you!
i can't figure this out either! :(
It took a teenage to get mine done correct. I'm still not sure how he did it but it fits me perfect. @@bethallen3350
can you demonstrate how to make the dress form taller using the tightening screw?
Hello Hope! Yes, I will get that out in the next couple of weeks and send you the link. Thanks for your comment. 😊
I have been working on it, but sometimes I do NOT want it to rotate while pinning, is there a way to lock it in place?
Hello! I checked mine out and I do not see any thing that allows it to be locked in place.
How do I keep my dress form from adjusting to my hieght 5’7” I’ll walk away and the darn thing slid down to 3’. Please help!!
Hello! You could tape the bottom bar and then tape the top bar to the bottom bar to prevent it from slipping down. You could use wide packing tape so it will hold up. I hope this helps.
What the tape measure called

My singer dress form keeps sliding ! I’ll raise it to my height I’ll walk away for a minute and I come back and it’s 4”11”. Help !
Hi! You could try putting a rubber band right below the area on the pole you want it to stay and tape it with wide clear tape so that the tape is on the top and bottom and covers the tape. I hope that works for you.
How do I make it taller?
There is a pole inside with a tightening screw to raise it up or down. Thank you for your question!
Как можно заказать такой маникен
Привет! Спасибо Вам за Ваш вопрос! Вы можете купить это на Amazon. (Hello! You could purchase this from Amazon)
I wish I could hear what you are saying I don't have this problem on other channels sorry
Thanks for your comment! I will work on making sure the audio is better in future videos.
@@sewingwithmaryrose Thank you I really need this information and I just can not find it on the Ytube I was excited to find you and then I just could not hear it, I hope you don't think I was being ugly. I was just letting you know. Have an awesome day.
@@1954evelyn No offense taken! I hope I had my close captioning on that video. When I get to a computer I will double check and make sure that it is on for this video and all of my other videos. I hope it is helpful for you. I really do love my dress form. You just have to be very careful with it and open each section a little at a time so it does not break. The plastic is on the lightweight side but it has been very durable for me.
