\"IMG_5014\"<\/a>This is old news, but just now getting around to posting it. I made a password dress to go with the password quilt. I wore it to the opening of the Computers, Quilts & Privacy<\/a> show and to give my artist’s talk. \u00a0I also wore it to a faculty meeting and disrupted the meeting.<\/p>\n

As with the Security Blanket <\/a>quilt, I generated a Wordle from the RockYou password set, and then edited it in Adobe Illustrator. I selected brighter colors for the dress and had it printed at spoonflower.com<\/a> on performance knit polyester fabric (UPDATE: You can purchase similar fabric on spoon flower<\/a>\u00a0that I created and ties made from this fabric<\/a> on Easy…. and read about lots of other passwords stuff made by me and other people<\/a>)\u00a0I made my own pattern by tracing a store-bought dress I own that fits me well. It is just two pieces of fabric. The only tricky part was finishing the neckline and arm holes. I bought a double needle and used it to do the hem. This was my first foray into sewing with knit fabric.<\/p>\n

And here are some more photos from the Computers, Quilts & Privacy show at the Frame. There is also a video of my talk that I will post after it is edited.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
