Dune · part A: wrap · part B: chest rig

Thu Oct 29 · 5:35–8:00 PM · The Nest · shawl uncut, shirt untouched

Part A · the wrap

Your shawl is never cut. The brown piece is separate and attaches with ties (reversible) or one seam along a shared edge (permanent, still uncut). Diagrams below are line drawings — each shows the same body from the angle that matters for that step.

pin goes through BOTH shawl edges 2 · The one pin Pin the shawl to itself at the shoulder — never into a shirt. Two layers of fabric only, so it holds the drape without touching you.
brown beige 3 · Layer order Brown against the skin, beige over it, both wrapping the same direction. The reverse looks like a costume instead of a wrap.

The five moves, in words

Motion is the one thing a drawing is bad at. Watch it once: 30-second scarf-into-hood demo · the lift-over-the-head step at 7:19

Part B · the chest rig

Nothing touches your shirt. The rig is a separate harness: two fabric straps that cross on your chest and tie behind your back, with a laser-cut acrylic plate hanging off them. Take it off and the shirt is exactly as it was — no pins, no glue, no stitching.

Why these materials: fabric, thread, acrylic, cardboard, acrylic paint, the laser cutters and the sewing machines are all on the Nest's published equipment and materials list. No webbing or paracord assumed — the straps are cut from the same brown fabric you're already buying.

FRONT — straps cross at sternum strap width 4 cm BACK — tied in an H two 95 cm straps
3 mm acrylic · 180 × 120 mm 4 mm holes · 20 mm from each top corner · 3 slots 8 mm tall slot spacing 18 mm — cut on the 60 W laser, not by hand tie holes
plate hangs below the cross point B3 · Hang it Two 20 cm fabric ties through the top holes, knotted to the straps 5 cm below the cross. The plate sits at your sternum and swings with you.
cardboard + acrylic paint same dimensions, scissors only B4 · No-laser fallback Same 180×120 mm outline in cardboard, slots cut with a craft knife, then two coats of acrylic so it stops reading as cardboard.
