Emma- The materials we ordered finally came in this week! We received a ton of fabric samples to choose from and are planning to make a final decision on Tuesday. We also began creating a muslin of the jacket (a test garment made out of inexpensive fabric). This has been a little challenging and time consuming because I don’t have a ton of experience with draping, let alone menswear, but I feel confident that I will make a lot of progress on it in this upcoming week. As long as I make that kind of progress this week, we should be on schedule!

Andrew- I’ve continued to have a bit of trouble prototyping the circuit on the breadboard, so this week I soldered the components to a circuit board, and look forward to testing it further next week.
