This is a t-shirt to wear at our gigs in the run up to Christmas. The centre of the star has an LED in it with a tiny battery pack behind.

It is a shirt which already had a design on so I digitised the Christmas tree applique for my Mega Hoop (200mm x 280mm) so that it covered every bit of it. (Just!)
The LED kit was a Christmas present last year from another member of this forum - it has taken me this long to decide what to do with it!

Brilliant Sue and you will sparkle in this outfit. Did you do the rest of the stitching in fluorescent thread to add to the glow?

How wonderful! I would love to know more about the LED kit please. I have been looking for kits but unsure of what to get.

They come from a company called Kitronic here in UK. You can buy the LEDs, the battery packs and the thread that conducts electricity separately or as a kit. Look out for "Electro Fashion"
