[Nfb-krafters-korner] question about sewing and woodworking

[Greg Aikens]

Hello all,
I am brand new to the list. I am doing some research for a friend
overseas who is doing occupational training with young adults with
disabilities. She is hoping to reach out to the blind and visually
impaired community in her area and is looking for resources to help
her figure out how to gear their current occupational training toward
blind students. They plan on teaching students woodworking and sewing.
I am totally blind, but these are not areas of expertise for me. I
thought there might be some experts in this area on this list though.

I don't have any specific questions yet, but if anyone could point me
toward resources which might be helpful in looking at doing
woodworking and sewing while blind, I would really appreciate it.
Also, if anyone would be interested in connecting with me and my
friend to brainstorm on some of these things, I would also appreciate
it.

I hope these topics are pertinant for this list.

Thanks in advance for your help.
