For technology class, we were supposed to design a cover for a saw. I was thinking to use a piece of cloth and three or more buttons so I can tighten the cloth around the saw. I want the length of my cloth to be 4.5 inches and I want the width to be 1.3 inches. I wanted it to be 1.3 inches instead of the exact same width as the saw so then the buttons can tighten the cloth. The thickness of this cloth is about the thickness of a beach towel. I’m also going to use buttons. I am planning on using three buttons but I’ll add some more if I need to.

I’m planning on making this by first cutting out a piece of cloth that is 4.5 inches long and about 1.8 inches wide. I’m going to cut out a piece of cloth that’s 1.8 inches wide instead of 1.3 inches wide because when I put it on the saw, it’s going to be wrapped over the saw. After I cut out the piece of cloth, then I’m going to wrap it around the saw. I’m going to do that so I can determine where to sew the buttons and also where to cut the slits for the buttons to go into. Once I do that I’m going to sew the buttons onto the place I would like them to go and then I’m going to cut a number of slits onto the cloth, depending on how many buttons I’ll choose to use. This is the sketch that I drew for the design:
