Motive:
Create a vest that allows for more freedom and normalcy for people with pacemakers.
Research:
Possible materials and movement restriction. How pacemakers work, restrictions in everyday life that pacemakers cause.
Exploration:
Experimenting with form in relation to movement restriction. Pocket placement, intentionality with usability and accessibility.
Ideas for different forms, different ideas of how this vest can be fitted to the body. As well as different pocket placements.
Rough Model:
Constructing through cutting and sewing. Figuring out and playing with different pocket placements, sizes and color and how these pockets would interact with the base of the vest.
Pattern and cut fabric for pockets
Initial body of vest
Process:
Testing fit, material and patterns created.
