Maker Faire 2007 is like going to craft and science geek heaven. Where else can you see robot fights, giant racing cupcakes, art cars and of course a ton of science and crafting demos? Nowhere else, my friend and that's why we all owe a great big pat on the back to the kids at MAKE and CRAFT magazines for making this possible.
For my part, I did a "Make Your Own Felt Yoda Doll" demo (on Saturday and Sunday afternoon) so that kids and adults everywhere could have their own soft, squishy Jedi Master to take home. Both days I had a blast teaching little kids to sew (mostly 8 year old boys who's never threaded a needle thankyouverymuch) as well as crafty adults who wanted to show off their sewing skills.
I have to say, I think I had the most-popular craft demo both days, but I could just be biased. Here's some photos of the demos and what everyone made.
