chebe — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 11:17:13 +0000

Hello again Crafters! It’s been a long year, many projects were started, a few even finished, and it’s always good to see your toil pay off. So we at tog reckon it’s time for a Craft Night reward. The next Craft Night (Tuesday, 13th) will be a special cookies and sugarcraft night! We’ll be baking cookies, icing them, and someone even mentioned hot chocolate

If that’s not your thing don’t worry, it will be a regular Craft Night too, just with added sugar-fueled giddiness from the kitchen! The sugary rewards are available to anyone on the night doing any craft. And it’s also the last Craft Night of the year (to begin again in January), so why not? Come along, have some fun

Electro-Sewing Workshop; update

chebe — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 10:04:28 +0000

Hello again! The Electro-Sewing Workshop was last night in tog, and again, I think we all had a good time! Personally I had a great evening and was delighted at how quickly everyone picked it up. Even with having to listening to me waffle aimlessly to a slide-deck for a while, by the end of the night we had amassed quite a beautiful bouquet of LED flowers!

As yet there aren’t any more workshops planned, but as interest was high I’ll be seeing if there is a more complex electro-sewing project to move on to, or maybe even a Lilypad Arduino class. Ooh, I am looking forward to see what my lovely students go on to create!

Hand-Sewing Workshop; update

chebe — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:15:46 +0000

Hey all, I’m not long home from the Basic Hand-Sewing Workshop, and just wanted to say how much fun I had, how great it was to meet such good students, and to throw up a picture of their handiwork (that I’m very proud of)! They came in unable to sew (mostly) and left with finished (mostly), functional bags!

Next up is the Eletro-Sewing Workshop, where we’ll get to put our new found sewing skills to good use!

Workshop: Electro-sewing

jpichon — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 21:09:43 +0000

We would like to invite you to Tog’s first ever electronic sewing workshop! As a simple first project, we will be making nice looking flowers with a LED centre.

We’ll be working with silver conductive thread (instead of wire), and creating a small circuit to power the LED (small light) from a coin-cell battery. The circuit will be hidden in the body of the felt flower, and the whole lot attached through a clip. You will get your choice of fabric and LED colours, so you can make something you could actually wear

If you’re interested in attending, ideally you already know how to hand sew (if not how come you missed our previous hand-sewing workshop!), but if not we’ll do our best to show you enough to complete the project on the day.

When: Friday, October 21st, from 7pm to 9pm
Cost: €5 for non-members, free for members (all materials provided on the day)

Space being very limited, ~~please sign up using the form below the break.~~ and we’re full-up now! If you’d like to contact us about similar events in the future please feel free to use the form below.
