Ever wonder how to make your sewing projects light up? In this class, we'll work with scrap fabrics to practice working with conductive thread and button LED diodes. This is a great intro to using flexible 'wiring' for your textile costumes that need a little illumination! Students will leave with a piece of lighted fabric of their own creation and the skills to complete further projects at home.

In this workshop you'll learn:

The basics of working with conductive thread
The basics of electrical wiring
How to attach button LED diodes to fabric
Special considerations with working with light-up materials

Prerequisite Skills:

None, beginner friendly
