| Technical mesh and silicone tube sample applied as a sleeve |

| Piping with wadding in-between PU coated fabric |
This week I went
on the machines to do some more piping. I tried it with a stretchy sports mesh
using the silicone tubing. The feel of this sample it really bouncy and light,
perhaps this could be used for a garment. And the mesh makes it breathable so
could be used in sports wear. I also tried a sample adding wadding in between
PU coated fabric, instead of tubes. Again, this could be used for sportswear,
as it is comfortable and protective.
I also entered
my small-scale laser cut neoprene into the New Design Britain competition in
the surface design category. It was good practice having to describe the work,
inspiration and uses in a professional way, so hopefully the next competition I
enter will be a little less daunting. Photographing the work was also
beneficial, working out how to capture the movement and expandability of the
surface.
