I can’t believe I’ve never actually posted my own DIY tutorial. But these have turned out rather well. I can’t remember seeing this anywhere else, so I’ll stake my claim on it being original.

GREAT idea for Burning Man. Overview | Flora Brake Light Backpack | Adafruit Learning System
Inspired by Lisa Shahno’s work earlier this week, I remembered that there are some batty geometrically flavoured patterns in the Pattern Magic series by Tomoko Nakamichi. The Wearing a Square pattern is one of the more wearable items in the books as well as one of the simplest. It can be made from a variety of fabrics including stiffer material making it look more like a business jacket, drapey jersey, and atypical metallic blends. The […]
