Today we finished off the garment by adding taught pieces of ribbon to the hula hoop frame. Changing the shelter to a sitting one rather than lying one made the most of our structure. I feel it has worked well and I can't wait for the response from the public.

Day Four:
Today was about making and developing your garment. The envelope to our garment is complete but we are still having problems with the structure: it needs to be a flexible skirt as well as a sturdy shelter. More experimentation is needed.
