Second Session Eve and Last of the prep

Today was constant activity, starting at 9 with

• overlocking all of the individual capes, then on to
• cutting out the base circles of plastazote for the cable ties

• puncturing the bases for 9 cable ties to go through (after testing on the smaller capes I have decided that 9 is the right amount of cable ties to use - any less and it looks sparse, any more and the button hole is too crowded)
• cutting to shape and overlocking the giant slug
• collecting the elastic to take in for the masks
• marking out and cutting out the high viz spots
• packing up the box of all of my materials to take tomorrow

and my last activity of the day - packing up my lunch to take tomorrow!

For the bulk of the class tomorrow's session will focus on getting the spots arranged and stuck on, then getting the cable ties through the bases, while I staple the elastic for each mask (finished after the previous session) into place.

The 7 in the giant slug will be finishing off their skull caps and if they finish in time starting to place the spots on the giant slug. I will have to bring back all the capes tomorrow night to get the wrist ties sewn on, and to sew on the ridgelene around the giant slug.
