ELECTRO-FASHION KITS WITH FLAT LEDS
These kits are ready-packed with all of the parts needed for
students to make a simple E-Textiles circuit. The kit includes
two flat LEDs that are marked up with + and – markings,
making them smaller and easier to use than LEDs with leads.
As well as the two flat LEDs, the kit also includes a 2m t-shirt
of conductive thread, a sewable coin cell holder and coin cell.

ELECTRO-FASHION CAT KIT
This cat kit contains all the items you need to
make the cat (except for a pair of scissors and a
needle). To make the cat the felt is cut into three
pieces following the lines marked on the pre-
printed design. The LED eyes, battery holder and
a switch are sewn on to a piece of felt following
the stitch lines. The cat is then sewn together and
stuffed with wadding. Pop the battery in and
when
the cat’s ear is pressed the eyes will light.

ELECTRO-FASHION FLASHER
CONTROLLER, LEDS & THREAD
This unit offers a simple way of adding ‘flashing’ white LEDs to a textiles
project. The unit is programmed with a number of flashing patterns that
are selected by a push button on the main PCB. Pressing this button cycles
through the following patterns: all LEDs constantly on, slow flash (all on, all
off), fast flash (each in turn), and turned off. The device features auto off, which
turns the unit off after 30 minutes to preserve battery life. Depending upon
flash pattern the battery lasts for approximately two days of constant use.
This kit is supplied ‘pre-built’ so requires no soldering. Each kit comprises
three small PCB’s. The largest of the three PCB’s holds an LED plus the control
electronics, battery and a push button. On both of the remaining PCB’s there is
an LED, which are connected to the main board with conductive thread.
Includes approximately 2m of conductive thread.
Dimensions: L34 x W20 x H9mm.
Includes a CR2032 battery.

ELECTRO-FASHION LIGHT SENSOR
This board allows LEDs to be turned on automatically when it is dark. On one
side of the board is the coin cell holder, which takes a CR2032 coin cell as well
as a small on off slide switch. On the other side of the board is the light sensor.
The design means that it is possible to cut a small hole in the front of the
product for the light sensor to detect the light level, whilst also being able
to get to the back of the board to change the battery and turn the board
off. When turned off any connected LEDs will be off. When turned on the
connected LEDs will be off in day light but come on in the dark.

SEWABLE PCB LEDS
These ultra slim, pre-mounted LEDs are illuminated continuously. They
have connections to which the conductive thread can be connected.
These are clearly marked with ‘+’ and ‘-’ to indicate which is the
positive and which is the negative connection.
The PCBs are double sided making the thread connection very reliable.
They are supplied on a small panel and the LEDs can easily be
removed by snapping them out.
Dimensions: L15 x W6.5 x H3mm.

FREE TO DOWNLOAD RESOURCES
To help people new to Electro-Fashion get started we have worked with Julie Boyd to develop some
free online resources. These give detailed step by step explanations of how to make a product.
There are guides on adding an LED to a hat (both a standard LED and a slim line LED), making a
zippi doll with light up eyes & adding three LEDs to a bag. We are always working on more resources
so it’s worth keeping an eye on the website.
