Club House Pt. 2!

So, today myself and a future supporter of the Maker Cave went out and started cleaning what's to be the design shop section of the Maker Cave. After rearranging and reorganizing, we found out that there's a lot more space than meets the eye! There's plenty of space for future equipment, entertainment and relaxing.

Thank you, Mike Hinman for lending a hand in getting the place looking nice. We also had fun futzing around with settings for camera phones. Mine didn't turn out as well as those from Mike's iPhone. Congratulations to Apple, that is likely the first and last compliment I will give them when compared to anything with a Linux OS.

This week will be packing and moving of my current workshop into the new location. I'm calling it Phase I of the move, because the final product will look nothing like what it will in its early stages. So far, the place is coming along to a great start.

The Maker Cave website is still getting edited and developed, but should be up sooner than later.

If anyone has any questions about this design space, please feel free to e-mail me. Especially if you want to lend a hand, donate funds, donate equipment, or even if you just want to offer support!

Thanks, everyone!

Day Twenty-Six: How to Make Librarian Cotton Gloves

        This week I'm pouring through our photos from the shoot to release our new collection: "Lunch Escape." While I do that, I invite you to have fun with me as I catch up on recapping some other projects. Today we're going to be super quiet and visit the museum. As some of you guys may know, Nash has landed his dream volunteer job downtown going through the State's archives. I'm thrilled for him and it deserves a super-shiny pair of white cotton reading gloves as they don't really make white gloves for guy's hands his size that I can find. I see lots of cool weapons and theater costumes in our future.

         If you want to make your own, you can do it in an evening with thread and a needle. You just need: fabric scraps, needle, scissors, button thread, and paper.

1. Trace your hand and cut out the master pattern. (See above.)
2. Trace your pattern on fabric with a 1/2 inch seam allowance.
3. Pin and cut your gloves out.
4. Sew together with a basic whip stitch.
5. Turn inside out and voila you're done.

         I've put more detailed instructions on Instructables if you would like to check them out.
