pleasant day with some progress made on projects.
We had people working on talking pigs, led-endowed poppers,
sound-playing patchwork, and touch switches. And we had a good laugh
at Debbie's poor abused voodoo men (not for the squeamish).
We're not sure what happened to the huge enthusiastic crowd at Mason &
Taylor. Did we choose a bad day (too near Christmas) ? Or did people
think they had to bring a project (you didn't), it would have been
great to just chat in the relative peace of C4cc (we did that,
anyway). Or maybe we needed more beer.
Suggestions for next time very welcome.

I'm sorry I didn't make it.
My group of 3-4 friends that were interested in this meet-up couldn't come because they had Christmas commitments, so yes I think the date (busiest shopping day of the year) was a factor. Also, speaking for myself, I fully intended to come but didn't have a techy project to share yet. It's all very new to me so I guess I felt that I might not have much to add to the group. I'm working on an upcycled childrens clothing project and it dawned on me on the day that I couldn't continue without a sewing machine and hadn't asked if there was one there. So sorry, bad planning on my part!
I'm committed to attending next year if the dates suit, and as long as I can work on what I need to. I love the idea of the group!
What equipment is available by the way? Is there a sewing machine that people can use available?
Kind regards,
Rachel

Don't know about C4CC, but there's one (a fairly simple model) at the
hackspace. We could probably arrange to bring it along to wherever we
next meet, though it might be wise for you to check it out at the
hackspace first to make sure it's suitable.

A simple sewing machine model will do just fine thank you. To save lugging it from a to b unnecessarily, do you want us to ask you to bring it if we need it for the next meet-up? Personally, I don't imagine I'dneed one every time I come =)
Perhaps not a question for this group but I'll ask anyway. I'd like to do some digital printing onto fabric but the bureaus are all rather expensive for my project idea. i found a link via google a while back where someone used a conventional Colour paper printer to print onto fabric. I'd love to do something similar but using a large printer (A3+). Does anyone have any thoughts on this please? It's for clothing so needs to be washable.
Thank you

Start a separate thread in the thread-space google-group.
I'm interested.
The idea of fabric printers appeals to me. As for water-washable, try
re-filling an ink-cartridge with fabric dye instead of ink.
The variability of the fabric's behaviour compared with the relatively
uniform flatness of paper, makes it an interesting engineering
problem...
