Problem: The rise in screen accessibility among elementary-aged children is dissolving the motive for outdoor play and is cultivating difficulty in beginning narratives.
Solution: Quest is a durable story starter kit, rooted in outdoor active play and exploration. The philosophies of Isamu Noguchi, the Eames, Hans Wegner, and Marcel Breuer help to combat the boundaries this generation is facing by engaging imagination, collaboration, and creativity.
Appliqué Sewing Pattern
Costume Design Process: Considering a target audience age range between five and ten years old, the costume dimensions cater to extremes in height, head circumference, shoulder span, distance between shoulder and the top of the head, and distance from the floor to the hem of the cloak. The result is a cloak that will not drag on the floor when worn by a five-year-old, and a hat that will neither slip down nor fit too tightly on any child within the age range. Additionally, elastic in the hat and a sash on the cloak work towards this goal of creating a costume that continues to fit as the child grows.
