Last night BurdaStyle launched their new How To series at the fabulous Mood fabric store in Manhattan. If you don't know Mood already, it is the store where Project Runway contestants get their fabric for challenges. First, we got some information about how to select fabric for projects and then Mood owner Eric Sauma gave us a tour of the store. Benedikta from BurdaStyle was wearing the amazing Kasia skirt and now I can't wait to go back to Mood and buy the fabric to make it myself. The whole event was streamed live by Etsy Virtual Labs. See all my photos from the event.

Fashioning Technology author Syuzi Pakhchyan will be holding a demonstration and having a book signing at Craft Gym (1452 Bush Street) in San Francisco on Saturday, July 19 from 5pm - 7pm. Come by to meet Syuzi and watch her demonstration, enjoy a drink and nibble on treats!

Here's more about the event:

Fashioning Technology: Come Witness the Future of Crafting! What will our homes and clothes look like 5 years from now? 10 years? 50 years? If the new book Fashioning Technology (O'Reilly) is any indication, it will involve a healthy dose of "smart" crafting--a term coined by author Syuzi Pakhchyan--to describe crafting with "smart" materials that react and change in response to their environment. In this exciting new book, readers can learn how to make: LED bracelets, chandeliers and headphones; pattern-changing blinds; a space invaders tote bag that alerts you to incoming phone calls; a "birdie" brooch that "chirps" to sunlight; and much, much more!
