In order to prepare my #textile #repair classes, I made a #visiblemending swatchbook. Its been a while that I wanted to have one object to show specific repairs when people ask what is possible to do with their damaged garments.

Before starting online classes, I will first see how the first class goes. Here's the programme:

Course 1/4: simple sewing stitches
Course 2/4: Darning and patches
Course 3/4: Knitwear repair level 1
Course 4/4: Knitwear repair level 2

I will give these classes @greenfabric in French (one on one translation in English could be possible but the main explanations will be in French).

@joachim je suis sur Linux sur ordi et Android sur mobile...

@joachim tu utilises quelle app pour avoir la traduction automatique ?
Je pensais justement faire ça ici car les app que j'ai testées jusqu'ici n'avait pas de traduction auto.
Pour mes amies uniquement francophones autour de moi, c'est justement difficile de venir ici car c'est très anglophone...

Hello Mastodon,
Here's my #introduction post.

Former #graphicdesigner and #webdeveloper at #OpenSourcePublishing, I gradually turned my practice to #textiledesign. Still exploring free and open source software, programming but in relation to many textile techniques.

My main practice is #knitting, #machineknitting and #visiblemending. But I love to explore any #fiberarts related #technique.

In 2020, I joined the #textile #fablab @GreenFabric in #brussels where I like to build / #hack #machines for textile.

In 2024, I joined the #Fabricademy programme ( #textile and #technology) where I made digitally knitted garments to bypass #CCTV #facerecognition.
I am now a Fabricademy instructor!

A little picture as intro: My Mother was a Computer. Title borrowed from media theoretician Katherine N. Hayles. This is the opening piece of a series of knitted portraits of women who played a major role in the history of computing.

I'm super happy to find back my old family here in Lurk/Mastodon (you know who you are :) ). 💜
