  9. I love weaving—and the history of fabrics is deeply tied to computing!

    From the Jacquard loom (which used punch cards to automate patterns) to early computers like IBM's, textile technology laid the foundation for modern computing. Even Ada Lovelace recognized the loom's punch cards as an early form of programming.

    This art by Irene Posch and Ebru Kurbak embroidered 8-bit computers into textiles—beautiful and thoughtful work that bridges craft and code.

  13. Digging out stuff in my craft room, here’s my smocking pleater. I was gifted this by an aunt in the 90s. She was making art-to-wear jackets for upscale craft shows. I was in grad school, studying textile design. I got all manner of materials leftover and gizmos she tried.

    She knew I was really into Ana Lisa Hedstrom’s work, and passed this pleater to me. I made a few gorgeous experiments but it’s a fussy device and replacement needles seem to only come from Australia.

  18. The wild card union suit shrunk so much that the crotch went from down at my knees to up to my actual crotch! The arms are a bit too long and the legs a bit more than that, but I can get away with it.

    Caftan shrunk up so the the hem is just above the floor and I can walk without stepping on it. Nehru coat is tea length. Sleeves on both can do with a bit of hemming but that's easy.

    Now for the hard part: I have to make up my mind about how I'm going to dye these things.

  20. Got some garment blanks (white clothing ready for paint or dye) and it's all in a hot wash to force the shrinkage. The bigger shrink is often vertical, and that's what this short king is counting on.

    I'm guessing the men's caftan will need shortening because it trailed on the floor pre-wash, but the nehru coat came down to my ankles and if that ends up anywhere between my knees and tea-length, I'll call it good. The union suit is a wild card.

  22. "Artists play an important role because story is not only communicated through words.

    "A painting, a song, a film, a beadwork pattern, or an installation can carry forms of knowledge that are felt before they are intellectually understood.

    "Art can create emotional and sensory pathways, allowing people to encounter connection rather than simply being told about it."

  32. 🪡Alison Little’s Convict Blanket transforms textile craft into a powerful act of protest, confronting rape culture and institutional failure through stitched slogans and stark statistics. This striking work of art activism challenges viewers to reflect, engage and demand change 👮‍♂️
