My final project

First ideas

At first I did not have any ideas and then too many.

• First idea was about 3D scanning a client (at this case somebody wanting to have custom made clothing) and then having the scan somehow sculpted or laser cut into dressmakers dummy. Maybe constructing a rotating and motorized base for the client to stand on when scanning. This idea quickly died out. Mostly because very similar things already exist.

• Second idea was about tool for making woolen ribbon. Belt loom is the closest English term for it that I could find. The Finnish word for it is "pirtalauta" and the technique came to Finland during middle ages. The ribbons can be really simple or really decorative.

• 
  Sample ribbons.
• 
  Ribbon I made at home.
• 
  Making a ribbon. Traditionally you strap yourself from your waist to the the warps and to a stable point, in this case table leg.

• Third idea about lasercutting fabrics and teaching inkscape to my schoolmates so they would be able to design their own fabrics.

• Last idea is about felt slippers with thick felt soles and thinner laser cut lace uppers.

Which one I will pick is still open. Have to find more info about all to be able to decide.
