Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.
And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!
Wirral MakeFest
We’re taking part in Wirral MakeFest on Saturday 10th May at Birkenhead Central Library. If you’ve got things you’d like to display and/or you’d like to help with organisation, please get in touch (and there’s a GitHub issue here that you can add your details to).
Liverpool MakeFest is on Saturday 5th July, so time to start thinking about that too (GitHub issue here).
Sashiko Sip and Sew Event – Saturday 29th March
Liz is running a Sashiko Sip and Sew Event at DoES Liverpool this Saturday, described as a relaxed afternoon of stitching which makes a great Mother’s Day gift – more details here.

#weeknotes #badgelife #spoonie #neurodivergence - Adrian McEwen:A bit of #FreeCADFriday action: reworking the sleeve for @MCQN_Ltd‘s RGB LED bollards so we can (a) switch the 3D printing orientation so the stress lines aren’t along the printing layers and (b) it will be removable for when we want to mount the bollard on the back of a trike for another music video (or something)#weeknotes #ibal251 #CAD #3DPrinting
