Process models and final model

I was able to sew the kevlar with the use of duct tape. The tape held the fibers together in order to properly sew the fabric. I also added additional tape to the edges in order to reduce the material from fraying. I sewed some Velcro to the wrist in order to keep this part of the glove in tact and in place. The bamboo fabric was reinforced with Scoth-Guard to repel wetness.

My materials have finally arrived and I will begin to construct some beginning models. The Kevlar was far more malleable than I expected, which could alter my current design of the object. The Kevlar is seen above in gold and the bamboo is seen in the white. The bamboo fabric which actually consists of 95% bamboo and 5% spandex is extremely soft and thin. It is almost identical to spandex by form but to the touch it feels like a very soft cotton. I will have to account for the fact that I may need a waterproof fabric as well. Because I have chosen a cook as my primary consumer it would be ideal to make the glove waterproof in order to account for the many spills which occur everyday in a kitchen.
