Femke et al.,
I would love to do a hands on workshop.
Would need a big roll of 36" wide paper from a printshop, some
tsquares/paper/pencils, tape measures, tables.
Inkscape and python on their laptop so we can write a basic 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.
Might be nice if we had a sewing machine or two plus muslin or bed sheets,
scissors, chalk and thread.
I can come early to make arrangements and source the equipment.
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.
