SUMMARY:Pattern Magic: 3D Rendering of Archival Sewing Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Clothing is a complex and sensitive record of history—evincin
 g the interplay of culture\, technology\, and artistry. At the same time\,
  textile goods are notoriously difficult to conserve and display\; in this
  context\, paper sewing patterns provide a valuable record of historical c
 lothing and methods of clothing manufacture. Our project\, “Pattern Magi
 c\,” aims to dramatically improve the quantity and quality of historical
  garments available for research and creative use by (1) creating a databa
 se of 3D garments reconstructed from 60K historical patterns (earliest fro
 m the 1850s) available in the Commercial Pattern Archive (held at the Univ
 ersity of Rhode Island) and (2) developing user-friendly tools which allow
  individuals and libraries to use our methods to contribute to this or oth
 er databases. About the Speakers Noah Toyonaga is a physicist and artist. 
 They earned their PhD in physics from Harvard University in May 2025. They
  are drawn to the mysteries and delights of the everyday\,…\n\nhttps://l
