I’ve been very lucky to have been able to try out the fabulous GlowStitch from maker Steph https://www.makerqueen.com.au/ who has made these fun and useful sewable LEDs. I’ve incorporated it into a design that would be very difficult and time-consuming to...
ElectromakerIO, another great maker community!
Being a maker is always a fun experience. Not only do you get to make fun and exciting things – but the community always has a spirit of sharing and support. One of my projects, the open universal input sleeve, made from conductive fabrics, has been featured in...Tinker Tailor
When I started making wearable electronics - it was very difficult to find unusual parts, small components, fabrics, conductive materials, all in one place. I decided to create Tinker Tailor to address this for makers!
www.TinkerTailor.tech supplies the difficult-to-get parts for the Wearable Electronics community. My aim is to provide you with everything you need to make wearable technology projects, for beginners and experienced makers too.
