My recently released StitchLits LED Sewing Kit was featured yesterday on Instructables! This instruction set tells you everything you need to know about how to sew tiny LEDs into your clothes. You can gather the necessary materials from sources like Digikey, Sparkfun, and your local sewing store, but if you’d like to get everything you need in a nicely assembled kit, my StitchLits Kit is available on Etsy. It even comes in a cute little tin!

You can order them here. Documentation and tutorials are coming soon. And if you’d like a personal introduction, check out the Wireless Wearables class that Rob Faludi and I are teaching at NYCResistor next month!

Coming soon to a Sparkfun near you…
I just got confirmation that the XBee Lilypad will soon be available from Sparkfun as a part of the official Lilypad line! Thanks Nathan Seidle and Leah Buechley for working with us to make this happen.Pictured above is the latest protoboard – the final version will be in Lilypad purple. Release date is TBA, but sometime in the next month or so you’ll be sewing these into your own wireless wearables!This is a project I’ve been working on since last summer with my master-of-the-PCB collaborator Rob Faludi. We may be co-teaching a workshop on these in Brooklyn this December, so stay tuned!
