I love to make things and share them. I live in New York City and when I'm not making or publishing, I ride bikes and motorcycles. I love my pit bull dogs. I'm a full-time content creator and also teach part-time at SVA. Find me as @bekathwia on YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram.
at Martha Stewart
Yep, that’s me and Martha Stewart! Meg Allan Cole and I attended MSLO’s crafts episode with some other crafty residents of the blogosphere. The only other time I attended the show I was on crutches with the flu, so this time was markedly better. More pics on CRAFT.

T-Shirt Refashion
Take a unisex tee from boxy to foxy! I have a bunch of great logo tee-shirts but they’re cut for men and I don’t like the way they fit, so today I’m going to show you how to mod your t-shirts into a flattering shape that you’ll actually wear, using a serger.
Supplies and tools:
- Girly-tee that fits you, to use as a guide
- Baggy tee that fits you around the collar
- Serger (ask around to see if a friend will let you borrow) with thread
- Sewing pins
- Tailors chalk
- Scissors
Read on for the complete tutorial.

New Show! Make: Live
I’m really excited to announce a new show I’m co-hosting/producing called Make: Live. Matt Richardson and I bring MAKE Magazine alive with guests both in-studio and via Skype showing off all kinds of maker projects, show-and-tell style, streaming live on the web. The first episode is all about Arduino, with topical shows on soldering and bicycles to follow. It’ll be every other Wednesday night at 9pm EST. We’re broadcasting in HD from NYC (Sternlab HQ)!
TV-B-Gone Jacket at CES Fashion Show
Diana Eng invited me to contribute a garment to the FashionWare runway show – a jacket with embedded TV-B-Gone! Similar to the TV-B-Gone Hoodie, the jacket’s embedded TV remote is activated by a switch along the zipper made from conductive thread, zapping all sets in range. If you’re in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show, check it out this Friday, along with other wearable tech by Diana Eng, Alison Lewis, and more.

Tron Bag with EL Wire
Another successful Adafruit collaboration! Ladyada and I made this EL wire (electro-luminescent wire) tutorial video (on CRAFT) and Tron bag. Her EL photo tutorial is the best one on the ‘net, and this video really shows the (delicate) process of getting the soldering just right. You can get EL wire from the Adafruit shop.
