The World Maker Faire whirls into NYC this weekend. And Generation T will be there! Come find me at the Workman Publishing “Camp Make” booth (located in the Craft Corral in Zone B) at 3 pm on Saturday and 11:00 am on Sunday. I’ll be demonstrating T-shirt refashioning techniques, signing books, and holding book and T-shirt giveaways! And, how cute is this: All the worker bees in the Workman Camp Make booth will be wearing designs they made from my two books!
Some other Maker Faire highlights I’m excited to explore in my free time:
-Free button-making station at Workman’s Camp Make. (A great way to stock up on punk pins for T-shirt projects!)
–Diana Eng’s technology fashion show at 2 pm on Saturday.(Remember her awesomely geek chic designs from Project Runway?)
–BUST magazine is hosting a Craftacular–more than 100 crafty vendors selling original handmade goodies. PLUS, a Stitch’n BUST knitters’ lounge–you can bring a project, stitch, and make new friends while you’re at it!
–Stitch’n Bitch series author (and BUST publisher) Debbie Stoller be appearing in the Camp Make booth at noon on both Saturday and Sunday! (And, the Workman booth is right next door to Red Heart yarn–I look forward to plunging my hands into some soft skeins!)
-I admit, I caught a few episodes of America’s Got Talent this past season, and loved the ArcAttack team’s electricity-fueled performances. They and their Singing Teslas will be performing Saturday at 11 am.
-And the food! Gourmet food trucks are going to be lined up along Science Avenue. I’m drooling just thinking about it.
If you’re in the NY area, I do hope to see you this weekend. If you’re far, far away, don’t worry, I’ll take so many pictures it’ll be like you were there!

Good luck at Maker Faire. Wish I could be there. I look forward to seeing photos, as you say, so I can pretend I was! It sounds like lots of fun.
Oh yes, there will be lots o’ photos — and maybe even some video if I’m feeling totally crazy!
