Sewing my test inflatables: lessons learnt

My test pieces turned out well, although I had to pin the bejesus out of it to stop it sliding around as expected. The arms are slightly wonky, but for the purposes of testing and refining my fans this weekend it works fine. I just need to be extra careful to check all the arms and seams are level when pinning my final pieces next week. 

I've booked out the textiles studio for Tuesday so I'm all good with my timeline thank all the deities. Starting to feel a little nervous about the show now.

After seeing both pieces in the gallery space, the 2m height inflatable is more than tall enough. I want it as big as possible, but the 3m high pattern looked obnoxious.

Just need to experiment with the font and font placement now.
