Light Stitches
This term pupils from Year 7 and Year 9 are using textile and electronics resources to make pencil cases, iPod holders, purses and mobile phone cases using textiles with LEDs sewn into them. Conductive thread, LEDs, coin cell battery holders were purchased from Rapid Electronics (http://www.rapidonline.com/Educational-Products/Textiles/Textiles-Projects) and felt, zips, needles, thread, press-studs and decorative accessories from craft stores.
