The workshop would *not* be developed for a boring tshirt. :-D I'm working on getting the equipment required for 15 participants. It's a short list of supplies for each person. Trying to get 4 or 5 sewing machines, too. Maybe a big plotter to print patterns on! I use an old 36" roll-feed plotter. Maybe HP has something new they want to demo for a few days. I'll also keep the 30-minute presentation in the queue, but I shall abide by the decisions of the LGM demi-gods & goddesses regarding the presenters & schedule. - Susan <div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 09 Apr 2011 11:17:43 +0200 From: Femke Snelting <<a href="mailto:snelting@collectifs.net">snelting@collectifs.net</a>> Subject: Re: [CREATE] Pre-LGM 2011 activities To: <a href="mailto:create@lists.freedesktop.org">create@lists.freedesktop.org</a> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:4DA02437.5080809@collectifs.net">4DA02437.5080809@collectifs.net</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hello Susan > I would love to do a hands on workshop. Fantastic news! > Would need a big roll of 36" wide paper from a printshop, some > tsquares/paper/pencils, tape measures, tables. > Inkscape and python on participants laptop so we can write a python > extension, and I would do the programming as well so we'd need access to > a projector & screen for my laptop. > We can go from pencil to code in 2 to 3 hours, or even less. > I can make a guy's garment as the example. I am very curious about the process. If you say 'guy's garment', I hope you don't mean X-large T-shirt ;-) > Might be nice if we had a sewing machine or two plus muslin or bed > sheets, scissors, chalk and thread, to be available for the duration of > the LGM meeting for people to play with. > I can come early to make arrangements and source the equipment. OK, we will get in contact off-list soon to work out the details > I'll contact Simplicity, Burda, Bernina, etc. to see if there's a > possible fund source or if they'd lend us machines (they do this for > Swap-O-Rama-Rama). > This would be more fun than a presentation anyway. Both is even better :-) Femke </blockquote></div>
