These are some of my on-going projects (images are clickable and link to relevant post). This blog is about these, as well as other random and more disparate activities, including; embroidery, adding LEDs to clothing, and wearable soft circuits with conductive thread.




Gertie's Sew-Along:
Gertie runs a fantastic retro fashion and sewing website. She is running a Sew-Along starting in December (get your materials sorted now!), targeted at beginners, in which I and a couple of friends will participate. See posts with this tag.
