In order to prepare my #textile #repair classes, I made a #visiblemending swatchbook. Its been a while that I wanted to have one object to show specific repairs when people ask what is possible to do with their damaged garments.
Before starting online classes, I will first see how the first class goes. Here's the programme:
Course 1/4: simple sewing stitches
Course 2/4: Darning and patches
Course 3/4: Knitwear repair level 1
Course 4/4: Knitwear repair level 2
I will give these classes in #brussels #bruxelles at the textile #fablab @greenfabric in French (one on one translation in English could be possible but the main explanations will be in French).

Hello ! Comme tous les ans nous faisons des atelier serviettes périodiques réutilisables au fablab de l'université toulouse 3 tout le mois de mars, où les participant'es apprennent à coudre et repartent avec leur serviette gratuitement. Nous n'avons plus notre financement habituel, si vous avez quelques euros de trop et que vous voulez fiiler un coup de main : https://www.papayoux.com/fr/cagnotte/ateliers-couture-de-serviette-periodiques-reutilisable-fablab-ut3
Merci
Tomorrow is the online open day of #fabricademy , a 6 months course on textile and digital. It's an international course that you can follow at a node in your country. If there's no node where you are but you have access to #fablab machines, you can also follow the course with a remote mentor.
Tomorrow is the perfect moment to see what is the course about, projects made within the course, ask questions, etc.
I am myself a Fabricademy tutor at @greenfabric Brussels node.

I finally managed to cut, engrave and build my first A3 kamishibai butai ; this one features Ada & Zangemann by @kirschner (from the @fsfe ) and Sandra Brandstätter.
I still need to 3D-print the other half of the feet, and probably engrave the inside of the doors.
Made at @RoseLab in Toulouse, Occitany

Hello Mastodon,
Here's my #introduction post.
Former #graphicdesigner and #webdeveloper at #OpenSourcePublishing, I gradually turned my practice to #textiledesign. Still exploring free and open source software, programming but in relation to many textile techniques.
My main practice is #knitting, #machineknitting and #visiblemending. But I love to explore any #fiberarts related #technique.
In 2020, I joined the #textile #fablab @GreenFabric in #brussels where I like to build / #hack #machines for textile.
In 2024, I joined the #Fabricademy programme ( #textile and #technology) where I made digitally knitted garments to bypass #CCTV #facerecognition.
I am now a Fabricademy instructor!
A little picture as intro: My Mother was a Computer. Title borrowed from media theoretician Katherine N. Hayles. This is the opening piece of a series of knitted portraits of women who played a major role in the history of computing.
I'm super happy to find back my old family here in Lurk/Mastodon (you know who you are :) ).
C'est tipar, après quelques années de stop, j'ai repris Habitica (j'expliquerai plus loin) ainsi que le challenge des bonnes résolutions !
Pour commencer : https://habitica.com/ c'est un site de tâches gamifiées. Oui, c'est un peu jouer le jeu du capitalisme, mais perso ça m'aide beaucoup. Le projet est #OpenSource, et j'trouve ça coolos.
Mon projet cet année ça va être de faire venir des meufs dans le #fablab de la fac de sciences de #Toulouse.
Smart Citizen Kit 2.3
Civilian scientist environmental monitoring platform gets a major upgrade, including a move to a new Sensirion SEN50 PM sensor.
Empower citizen scientists, researchers, educators, and environmentally-conscious individuals, this new smart citizen kit enables users to monitor various environmental parameters while providing a complete platform and tools to foster open data collection and community engagement.
[EDIT] We did it:

I'm teaching my 5th graders how to use drills and drivers right now. We're going to build a greenhouse and grow some vegetables. This is better than AI. All the 'edtech thought leaders' telling me I need to integrate AI into my curriculum can shrivel up and blow away on the cold cyber wind of 'progress'. I will keep teaching kids to do real stuff and make the world a better place. #edu #teacher #maker #making #fablab

Tag 3 der Hack&Make 2024 am Montag, den 28.10:
Diesmal hatten über den Tag wieder ca. 60 intensive Einzelgespräche führen können. Der Tag lief etwas besser an wie der Sonntag und wurde dann um die Mittagszeit stärker. Wir haben wieder interessante Leute treffen und uns austauschen können. Insgesamt waren wir auch heute mit der Qualität der Gespräche sehr zufrieden.
Die Hack&Make ist nun Geschichte und wir bereiten uns auf den LPD 2024.2 am 16. November 2024 vor.
Leo's graduation project, the marimbatron, is put in the spotlight again!
https://www.fablabenschede.nl/%F0%9F%8E%B5-the-marimbatron-by-leo-kuipers-%F0%9F%8E%B5/
The Marimbatron is a testament to the innovative spirit and technical expertise that is cherished at Fab Academy. It combines advanced digital manufacturing techniques with musical creativity, resulting in a unique and versatile instrument.
Fabacademy 2025 starts January. Applications are open.
Ich verkaufe einige "SuyzQ" Kabel weiter, nachdem sie nach langem Warten aus den USA angekommen sind!
Man braucht die, um Chromebooks zu debuggen, unbricken, flashen und mehr.
@yuki2501 Search #FabLab. Last time I checked they were all over. But they can be pricey since equipment like CNRs are not cheap. Some have separate pricing for the more costly machines.
Some universities have on-campus #fablabs, which is of course gratis for students to use. When I saw that, I thought every single university should have one but I think it’s rare.
The Compostable Collection
by Laura Freya Weller
(created during laura's internship at #waag's #fablab in Amsterdam 2023/24)
This collection is made in solidarity with #extinctionrebellion and addresses the environmental impacts of the fashion industry.
Made from compostable materials such as algea, wool and wood and dyed with natural pigments.
Visit #GLUE and this collection until this Sunday @waag / Amsterdam.
Habe eine Elektrobauteilkiste die ich gerne gegen Porto oder ne kleine Spende abgeben wollen würde. Mit Arduino UNO, zwei TinyMatrix LED-Anhänger-Bausätze (bereits geflasht), ein zweizeiliges Display, Breadboard, Kabel, Widerstände, ICs, zwei ESP32 (noch verpackt), Mintyboost-Kit (USB-Charger mit 2xAA-Batterien), etc.
Vielleicht hat ja auch ein #fablab o.ä. Interesse? Kann die Sachen auch gerne am Wochenende zur #FrOSCon mitbringen. #FediGive #Wish2Hand #zuVerschenken #Elektronik @fedigive_de
Salut à tous,
Je recherche un fablab dans les Hautes-Pyrénées avec scanner 3D et imprimante 3D pour dupliquer un élément plastique. Savez-vous si cela existe ?
Ou une bonne âme qui aurait cela.
Boost apprécié, merci !
