Ever thought of using LEDs on a dress or wiring your hoodie for sound? Making day-glo orange fuzzy headphone earmuffs? (Oh wait, that’s just me.)
This Friday’s Book Report is dedicated to one geek powerhouse and her new craft-tech book: Fashion Geek.
Diana Eng, newly appointed CRAFT zine DIY fashion writer, Project Runway Season 2 contestant, and Fashion Nerd blogger, has put together a collection of 13 projects to get you started integrating electronics into fashion.
Check out the media blitz:
WARNING: As you might guess, the book’s projects have a super-kyuuto Japanese feel a la Fruits. But even if cutesy is not your thing, these techniques will inspire the geek inside to get wired.

Ooh, so cute!
I broke the pliers jaw on the sleletool you gave me for Christmas. I sent it in and they sent me back a new one. Good people to buy from.

This site looks really cool, I’ve been meaning to check it out. Thanks for the reminder!
Have seen this in one home & loved the idea–Most interested in putting children’s hands & footprints on solid oilcloth to use under dinner table. What kind of paint do I use for prints & how do I seal so won’t wipe away? Thanks so much.
Oilcloth’s slick surface is not very paint friendly. However, you can paint on canvas with acrylic paints and then seal it with latex polyurethane. This makes a very durable and easy to clean floor cloth that looks a lot like painted oilcloth.
Check out these instructions on HGTV:

This picture is awesome! Love it.
Where are you from? Is it a secret?
I would love to have a space all of my own to craft in. I have the dining table. Those spaces are lovely.
Greatings, Not sure that this is true:), but thanks for a post.

Do you mean am I a secret Dwell employee? Nope. Work for a fabrication company? I wish. I’m just an artist from Boston.

Here is the other side of the story before you jump to any conclusions.
The President of Embroidery Library- http://www.urbanthreads.com/content/view/327/
And Urban Threads response – http://www.urbanthreads.com/content/view/326/
Please take the time to read our response to this issue. You can find it here. We’re not some sort of evil corporation, and both sides of the story need to be heard.
Thanks for the info. I read over all three letters and have posted my thoughts on the situation today on the blog. They are not very favorable for either side.
I think you are being a little harsh on Jenny here. She did not post the letter, and it was not an open letter, it was a direct letter to her friend who then posted it herself. Not that I disagree that she should have taken it up with urban threads first (although her letter implied that she actually has/was writing to them so whose to say she hadn’t but did it privately?).
And I also have to say, just because it is misinformation, Urban Threads actually charges more for their patterns because you buy one pattern (like the one spacegirl or a scooter) for $4 or so, and you get a whole giant sheet with lots of different patterns from Sublime Stitching. Just to clear that up. I disagree with you on UT having a better business model, SS does pretty well and have wide Indie appeal. They are very different companies and personally I find SS’s designs to be better quality.
I’ve been a member of their community and they have some incredibly talented people!
Inspired by E.M. Forster’s “A Room with a View” I’m thinking about taking some ‘Macintosh squares’ on a picnic, but where can one find such things nowadays? Would oilcloth squares suffice for sitting on damp ground? Is there such a thing as double-sided oilcloth, or would I have to make a ‘pillowcase’ to stay waterproofed?

Hello, I found your site when i was surfing for sites related to surveys. I have tell you, your site is good. I like the design too, its refreshing. I don’t have much time now to fully read your website but I have noted it and I also registered for your RSS feed. I will be back in a night or two. Thanks for a helpful blog.
I’ve been inquiring the WWW for my research on this topic. I’m so glad what you shared brings a new proportion to the information I’m accumulating. I really appreciate the way which you look at this field of study, it offer me a new means of seeing at it now. Thanks for the share.
An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.
Yup, couldn’t agree more. And I’d like to add that you’ve got a great colour scheme on your site, I suffer with colour blindness and many webmasters don’t give us a second thought!
As a Newbie to the internet, I am always searching online for stuff that can help me. Thank you for your help.
I’ve got trouble with viewing your page correctlly in the newest release of Opera. Looks good in IE7 and Firefox however.Have a great day.
Gute Site! Dieser Beitrag ist gut geschrieben. Danke dafuer.
