Two Day Contest

Two Day Contest

Two lucky INO readers will win a free copy of SWITCH CRAFT: Battery-Powered Crafts to Make and Sew, the new book by life and style pioneer Alison Lewis, with Fang-Yu Lin.

SWITCH CRAFT fuses technology with interior design, fashion design, and product design, with 20 battery-powered sewing projects that are made for the wired world without sacrificing style. Imagine a purse that glows when opened and shines a bold illuminated one-word slogan (TEASE), a 20s inspired hat that encases your iPod and earphones in style, or a laptop sleeve that pulses light when you’re in a Wi-Fi zone. These one-of-a-kind creations are the first mainstream representation of a trend only found in SWITCH CRAFT.

Technophobes need not worry—the interactive projects in SWITCH CRAFT require working with electronics, but none exceeds a sixth-grade science class level of expertise. The instructions are explained in clear, concise language with accompanying illustrations and photos. As for the sewing, SWITCH CRAFT is made for someone who knows the basics, but beginners can choose one of the projects that require no sewing at all.

SWITCH CRAFT is about fusing independence and individuality with fashionable form and function. It’s about technology’s role in empowering women to represent their ideals however they choose. Simply put, SWITCH CRAFT is life and style remixed.
