A New Plan...

Earlier today our group fumbled through many different ideas on how to finish our bag as soon as possible. While Christina and Matt were discussing what they were going to do tonight. Tyler and I were creating a new plan on how to quickly finish the bag by Wednesday. We combined Christina's idea on padding the inside of her bag, with Matt's idea on how to stitch the fabric around the padding to ensure it would be secured to the inside of the bag. Our plan requires creating a replica of Christina's bag from our leftover material, then using the old fabric we cut out for the previous bag design as the material that would secure the padding on the inside of the bag. Since our group could not decide on what type a padding to use, I proposed that we use both the yoga mat and the foam padding. The yoga mat would sandwich the foam padding creating a spring-like padding that would compress on contact, thus increasing the impact time, which would decrease the chances of damage. Since we already know how Christina built her bag, we could easily replicate the bag, then adapt that design to provide better padding. But this will only work if our group can agree, and work together. Also Tanielle is willing to help sew the bag, but will only be able to sew either after school on Tuesday, or on Wednesday.
