Post 8: Specifications and Restraints

For the specifications, I want my cushion to look like a giant tomato pin cushion, I want it to feel like a soft stool with a little give (not too much, I still want people to sit on it and not sink to the floor.) When asking what it does, it is a floor pouf, you sit on it. The project will succeed if I make a cushion that looks like a tomato pin cushion that is comfortable to sit on.  My priorities are making the project look good and feeling comfortable.

For the constraints, some of the most glaring problems will probably be my health, since I have been constantly overworking my wrist and having to take extended breaks as to not aggravate the injury, which is linked to time and my worry that I will not finish in time, so I will have to plan out the project accordingly. Another problem I may run into is simply not having enough stuffing to completely fill the cushion. I am using fabric and yarn scraps that I have collected recently to fill the pouf, so I am not sure if I have enough.
