Electronic fashion or e-textiles are fabrics that enable digital components such as a battery and a light (including small computers), and electronics to be embedded in them.

To do the e-textiles projects, you will need:

1. The e-textiles pack which comes with:
   • 2 x Sewable Blue LEDs
   • 2 x Sewable White LEDs
   • 2 x Sewable Sakura (lilac) LEDs
   • 2 x Blue Flashing LEDs
   • 2 x Green Flashing LEDs
   • 2 x White Flashing LEDs
   • 1 x Slide Switch
   • 1 x Push Switch
   • 2 x CR2032 Coin Cell Batteries
   • 1 x CR1220 Coin Cell Battery
   • 1 x 6m Conductive Thread
   • 1 x Coin Cell Holder
   • 1 x Miniature Coin Cell Holder
   • 1 x Switched Coin Cell Holder
2. Sewing needles
3. A pair of scissors
4. A pair of long nosed pliers (for creating "eyelets")

Included in your kit are coin cell holders and coin batteries. These are what power the circuits in your e-textiles projects.

This coin cell holders have large connection points for the conductive thread. These are clearly marked to show the battery polarity (positive + and negative -).

Conductive thread can be used like conventional sewing yarn, however it electrically conducts allowing electronics to be integrated into textiles. This makes it ideal for use in a range of e-textile applications.

The ultra-slim, pre-mounted e-textile PCB LEDs run off a 3V coin cell battery and are illuminated continuously when powered.

They have connections to which the conductive thread can be connected. These are clearly marked with '+' and '-' to indicate which is positive and which is the negative connection.
