I'm inordinately proud to show you my first switchcraft project I did tonight: a wristband with a couple of LEDs sewn onto it. Using the lilypad e-sewing kit, it was easy to throw this together. Probably the hardest part is threading the thick 4-ply conductive thread onto a needle. Otherwise, it's just hand sewing the…

Video of “Switchcraft” LED Flower at Computational Textiles Workshop
Here's a quick video of the LED flower that my team created at the Computational Textiles workshop. This was the moment of truth where our team saw whether or not our "switchcraft" flower was created so that the conductive thread, foil, switch and LED all functioned properly. Seeing it light up was a huge thrill! This…
