Seventh Week Breathe Review

Wednesday, 9 May: Breathe Together Club
I brought the dreads I had already made as a sample, and Emma and I worked with a few people on the backcombing step of the dreads at Breathe Together:

Thursday, 10 May: I went to uni to get the dreads from the night before and the base of the wig for fig.5 and took them home to paint the base the same green as the felt so that if the base can be seen it won't be as noticeable.

 And I ironed all the dreads.

Friday, 11 May and Saturday 12 May: I began sewing the dreads on through the felt to make sure the felt was secure, but was using embroidery thread which wasn't strong enough, so I had to switch to thicker embroidery floss and sewed dreads all the way around the base.

 Then I sewed a few more layers around the edges of the front to pull backed, sewed a few to cover the base where the front hair would be pulled back and sewed some longer dreads to the top of the back where the hair would be pulled back to, because it was quite heavy, there weren't enough dreads, and it would've been impractical to sew them all over then try to pull some back because it would've become un-wearably heavy.

 Then I pulled the front hair back and bobby pinned the dreads in place that were to small to stay in place, ready to be sewn down at the eighth week of Breathe Together Club, assuming my supervisors and tutors like how it looks.
