Bring all your own techniques and stuff to make and mod fab, fun and practical things to be worn, or pick some up at the workshop. It would be also nice to get some clothes swapping going, so bring your rejects if you have the space in your luggage and think someone else might enjoy them. Of course also bring clothes you might wanna modify and spice up for yourself
I will bring
- a plotter, a bunch of heat transferable vinyls and a heat press
- a handful of tulle skirts
- and hopefully some LED strings and controllers that can be sewn under said tulle skirts
The lights, controllers and tulle skirts will be very limited, even if I manage to get a bunch, so if you have a mind to try lighting up some of your clothes, I recommend that you get an addressable wsb2812ish fairy light (string light) and a controller yourself. If you are not keen on programming it yourself, they are available with a bunch of preset programs, that are usually actually really nice. You can contact me in advance if you need help buying something suitable :)
Join our Signal Group if you have any questions or want to co-host with your own crafts :) If you do not have Signal you can reach out to me under sarah@bornhack.org - but I would prefer to be contacted in other ways.
We welcome all yarn folk to hang out, knit, crochet and whatever else stitch witches are up to these days, electron benders to hack on their wearable electronics and thrifty folks to show and exchange their latest conquests.
I am fairly sure there will be people around to also help you mend and sew some stuff but I cannot promise it on account of my own 2 left thumbs when it comes to any needlework.
