It can be frustrating to have to take off your gloves to use your touch screen phone. Capacitive touch screens sense how conductive your fingers are, and gloves are, well, insulators. Learn to mod your gloves with conductive thread in this episode of Becky's Workshop. See the complete how-to on Make: Projects .

DIY Faux Fur Wrap
[LESS INFO] 272 VIEWS | ADDED 20:00:00 11/11/11
It makes me so angry when I see dead animals draped on models in magazines and they call it fashion. Real fur is unacceptable and has always made my blood boil. For years I have lamented about this barbaric trend but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I am not making a change by staying inactive so decided to offer an alternative. I went to Mood fabric store and picked out the most luxurious faux fur I could find to show that it is possible to have the same aesthetic without hurting any animals. Faux fur is a great way to stay stylish, warm, and animal-friendly. You only have to spend around $20-25 for this, AND you won't have to hurt any animals to create this cozy, pretty piece that can wear all fall and winter long.

This is my first time using this material, so I started with a basic pattern inspired by the 1960's-Grace-Kelly-style-wraps. This one makes me feel like Holly Golightly or Joan from Mad Men.
You can make whatever you want with this faux fur using the same needles you would for other sewing projects. If you opt for a wrap, you can print out this image of my pattern piece. Note that the pattern measures 25" across at the middle and widest point (* to *), and 23 1/2 " high at the middle and tallest point (** to **), as indicated on the image below. Check out the complete step-by-step tutorial over on Make: Projects .

Posables Perfect for Spookifying the Front Yard

Tony Regalbuto's father has a penchant for decorating the family's front yard with whimsical, sometimes frightening, humanoid decorations. Many of the characters are based around Posables , a system of configurable mannequins demonstrated at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. These seem to be the perfect template for creating scary (animatronic?) ghouls, monsters, and goblins for this Halloween season.
