Woohoo, finished my part of the group design project for my technical design and communication class tonite. Am so glad to have this done. Project will be going back to school tomorrow. As a group we decided to design a possible solution for the problem of how to transport aid received by those people in developing countries in times of natural disasters. To this end we designed and built a prototype pack and frame to make transporting aid easier.
Yours truly got to make the pack because I was the only one that knows how to sew in the group, much less knows anything about designing anything to be sewn. the pack is made from flourescent Orange vinyl. The vinyl is the type that hanging outdoor signs are made from. And while not as he
avy as some vinyl is, it was still 'interesting' to work with, not necessarily fun though!
Gratitudes:
1. For my machine behaving for the most part while sewing on the pack today.
2. For the odds and ends of fabric and batting that I have and how they help to block the drafts of cold air from antique windows that are not snuggly fitted.

Awesome Moira. You are so talented!

That looks like a great transport for a lot of things. Is it yours to keep, since you made it? And just curious to know how this class/project fits into the teaching curriculum.
