Interactive Tatreez: How (and when) Can Digital Fabrication Augment Cultural-based Hybrid Crafts

This work brings cultural depth to Hybrid Craft research by exploring Tatreez (Palestinian Arab embroidery) as a medium for Indigenous interaction design. We conducted four participatory workshops with 23 Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim individuals, incorporating traditional hand-stitching, digital embroidery, and refle…

FabricBoards: Exploring Crafting Methods for Prototyping E-Textile LED Circuits with Fabric-Based Breadboards

The prototyping process for e-textile circuits presents unique challenges, as traditional electronic prototyping tools are often rigid and incompatible with the flexible nature of fabric. In this paper, we document the iterative design of FabricBoards, a set of fabric-based breadboards designed for e-textile LED circu…

E-Sewing: Exploring the Design Space of Machine-Sewing E-Textile Circuits

This pictorial presents a design research exploration of domestic sewing machines as hybrid craft tools for creating e-textile circuits. Through iterative making and experimentation, we examine how conductive materials and electronic components can be integrated into fabric using sewing machines. We contribute 11 tech…

WovenCircuits: A 3-Step Fabrication Process for Weaving Electric Circuit Layouts in Everyday Artefacts

Previous work explored techniques for creating woven e-textiles, emphasizing interactive input and output elements. However, the integration of electrical connections and circuitry remains underexplored. Using Research through Design (RtD), we present WovenCircuits, a design-led inquiry into combining traditional weav…

Hand Spinning E-textile Yarns: Understanding the Craft Practices of Hand Spinners and Workshop Explorations with E-textile Fibers and Materials

The `material turn' in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is increasingly drawing attention to the computational affordances of materials and how we can craft with them. In this paper, we explore opportunities for combining the maker cultures of hand spinning with e-textile crafting. In our first study, we interviewed 3…

A Year of Interaction Around Town: Gathering Traces with an Interactive Knitting Machine and Community Stitch Markers

Devices for digital fabrication are becoming increasingly smaller and more portable, enabling digital fabrication research to move into new environments. In this exploratory research-through-design project, we aimed to physicalize data on-the-go using a portable digital fabrication device, and gathered community annot…

Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve: Using Digital Knitting Machines to Craft Wearable Biodata Portraits

Biofeedback sensors that measure body signals, such as heart rate, are often used for bodily awareness and behavioural change. In contrast, for this project, we wanted to use body sensor data as an artistic resource to craft wearable textile portraits as mementos of a moment in time. During the pandemic, we conducted…

FabriCar: Enriching the User Experience of In-Car Media Interactions with Ubiquitous Vehicle Interiors using E-textile Sensors

This work explores e-textiles in the design space of Human-Vehicle Interaction (HVI) and compares distraction levels between e-textile and screen-based interactions during driving tasks. We developed three prototypes (in the steering wheel, headrest cover, and seat-belt pad) to support tactile interactions (tap, press…

Tangible, Public, and Miniature Creative Exchanges: What HCI and Design Researchers Can Learn From the Free Little Art Gallery Movement

HCI researchers are continually exploring new ways of engaging the public in participatory design and bringing creative making research activities to new audiences. In this paper, we interviewed individuals who independently began public and DIY installations for sharing miniature art among their neighbours. During th…

Libraries of Things: Understanding the Challenges of Sharing Tangible Collections and the Opportunities for HCI

“Libraries of Things” are tangible collections of borrowable objects. There are many benefits to Libraries of Things such as making objects and skill-building accessible, reducing waste through the sharing of items, and saving costs associated with purchasing rarely-used items. We introduce the first HCI study of Libr…

Goldwork Embroidery: Interviews with Practitioners on Working with Metal Threads and Opportunities for E-textile Hybrid Crafts

Within the emerging field of e-textiles, goldwork embroidery (also known as metalwork) which uses metal threads and materials is an underexplored area, despite being a centuries-old practice in traditional crafts of different cultures. In this paper, we explore the material culture of textile goldwork to better unders…
