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.

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

- Sewing pins
- Tailors chalk
- Scissors

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.
