Kalala Kiwanuka-Woernle

Today our group made many advances on the project. I began with finalizing the different designs for the individual pieces. The three different designs were for the acrylic, felt and cotton. To test it out I first cut out the acrylic cut in cardbaord, but cut the other designs out of cotton and felt. To check they all fit we clued the cardboard pieces to the felt andthen sewed it to the cotton. Sammi added in the stuffing to make sure it had enough space for everything. We decided to offset the inner circle of the inner circle so that the seams had extra parts at the ends and make it easier to sew. Calder spent the day working on the pieces for the electronics because they still hadn't come. As a group we decided instead of having the collar actually work we will have a demo version because we won't have enough time. Sammi and I spent time talking to David about the code for the LEDS and he helped us write one to make sure that it would function properly. I finished the day off lasercutting the maoin design out of acrylic, felt and cotton.
