Tuesday Talks A 16-post collection

Join us for "Real Clothes Are Important Too!: How Understanding Clothing Construction Can Make You a Better Sewist" with ButDragonsTho on 6/9/26 after our weekly meeting!

Becky, also known as ButDragonsTho is a cosplayer and seamstress from the Dayton area. Becky has been sewing for around 15 years and is mostly self taught! In her professional life she works for a custom tailor, doing alterations and finishing work on custom clothing. She finds it so rewarding to take all the new things she learns in the trade and apply them to her personal projects, and hopefully she will inspire you to do the same!

Next Tuesday! Join us for a returning Tuesday Talk speaker Maker Fishmeal/Annye Driscoll for a talk on sewing with unconventional materials as part of their book tour for their latest release, Ultimate Encyclopedia of Fabrics and Unconventional Materials.

Annye Driscoll, known on the internet as Maker Fishmeal, is a writer, teacher, and very slow crafter. They’re the author of The Ultimate Glue Guide, Finish Your Cosplay!, and Ultimate Encyclopedia of Fabrics and Unconventional Materials. They live in Ohio with their partner, kitties, pony, and school of fancy guppies.
You can find Annye on the internet as @makerfishmeal or at makerfishmeal.com.

Just announced! Join us next week for a Tuesday Talk by member Dave Schwinn on the highs, lows, and hisses of caring for Madagascar hissing cockroaches as a maker.

From Dave:

Here are Melania and Stormy. They are Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, or Hissers. Come meet them and learn some fun factoids about roaches and keeping them as pets. The discussion will also include some of the electronics projects that I am working on in order to give them a comfy place to live.

Next week, join us for our Tuesday talk with member Adam Simoyi! You may know his work from Gun4IR, OpenFIRE, and a deep love for the arcade machines in our space. Get ready and hyped for an unserious approach to the ups, downs and curveballs of creating and contributing for open source spaces.

This Tuesday! Stop putting up blinders to your problems and attack your to do list. Come listen to Lisa's Tiny Tuesday Talk about Trello and parallel work on the things you have been procrastinating. All to-do lists welcome!
