  • Dress with Flared Skirt
    Lekala 4747 Dress With Flared Skirt Dress With Flared Skirt - Sewing Pattern #4747 Recommendations on fabric: thin natural/mixed suiting fabrics. You will also need: fusible interfacing; 5 buttons; 1 snap-fastener. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm; seam allowance for hem of dress – 2 cm. Note on seam allowances: - If the pattern has double contour the seam allowances are included. They are 1 cm unless specified otherwise. - If the pattern has single contour, the seam allowances are NOT included and need to be added when laying out the pattern. Note on length of fabric: Attention! The amount of fabric needed for your pattern is not included. It will depend on the selected pattern size, the width, and design of the fabric you plan to use. First, print all the paper patterns and lay them out at the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from 90 to 150 cm). Measure how much fabric you will need. Don't forget to account for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut on the fold. CUTTING: Note on cutting: On the pattern pieces, “beam” means straight of grain. Lay out your pieces accordingly. Some pieces will be cut on the fold. This is noted on the pattern piece. Mark all notches and other design features such as pleats etc. from the pattern onto your fabric. When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up. Main fabric: 1. Center back - cut 1 on fold 2. Side back - cut 2 3. Back belt - cut 1 4.

  • Sensorsnaps: Integrating Wireless Sensor Nodes Into Fabric Snap Fasteners for Textile Interfaces. Proc of UIST'19
    SensorSnaps: Integrating Wireless Sensor Nodes into Fabric Snap Fasteners for Textile Interfaces Artem Dementyev Tomás Vega Gálvez Alex Olwal MIT Media Lab MIT Media Lab Google Inc. Cambridge, MA Cambridge, MA Mountain View, CA [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Adding electronics to textiles can be time-consuming and A B requires technical expertise. We introduce SensorSnaps, low- power wireless sensor nodes that seamlessly integrate into caps of fabric snap fasteners. SensorSnaps provide a new technique to quickly and intuitively augment any location on the clothing with sensing capabilities. SensorSnaps securely attach and detach from ubiquitous commercial snap fasteners. Using inertial measurement units, the SensorSnaps detect tap and rotation gestures, as well as track body motion. We optimized the power consumption for SensorSnaps to work continuously for 45 minutes and up to 4 hours in capacitive touch standby mode. We present applications in which the SensorSnaps are used as gestural interfaces for a music player controller, cursor control, and motion tracking suit. The user study showed that SensorSnap could be attached in around 71 seconds, similar C D to attaching off-the-shelf snaps, and participants found the gestures easy to learn and perform. SensorSnaps could allow anyone to effortlessly add sophisticated sensing capacities to ubiquitous snap fasteners. Author Keywords Wireless sensor nodes, wearables, textile interfaces, ubiquitous computing, low-power CCS Concepts Human-centered computing -> Interaction devices; Interac- • tion techniques; User interface design Figure 1. SensorSnaps embed miniaturized electronics into generic snap fasteners, making it possible to augment garments with wireless elec- INTRODUCTION tronics that enable on-device gesture recognition, wireless connectivity, motion tracking with sensor fusion, and touch sensing.
