My Prototypes

Specifications:

Model 1:

This model was used to learn the basics of sewing and cushion construction.

Parts: 2 T-shirts, black thread, scissors, marker, sewing needle.

Final Model:

This model was created to produce a full tutorial for users. It uses the bare material components in order to be simpler for users.

Parts: 2 T-shirts, black thread, scissors, marker, sewing needle, sewing pins.

All models follow the same written guide. The guide is avalible in Product specs section of this blog.

These prototypes aimed to test materials and sizes to create the final guidelines.
