Project 3 – Denise Nguyen & Miranda Miller

Write a paragraph about your project, what you learned, what you would want to try next if you were to continue, and what you might do differently.

We learned how to enlarge a pattern we made ourselves. We tried cutting the pattern from paper but found the projection method to be the easier. It was actually easier in some ways and hard in other ways. The sewing was easier, but the final form was less predictable so we had to be more precise . If we had more time and opportunity we would have added toenails and also made it more red like a lobster. It’s interesting the the foot is more prominent in the inflatables version than the stuffed animal version. Perhaps, we could have made the head bigger so the elephant part is more visible. We also didn’t add the claws, but if we had more time we would have added that.
