Wanna grab more attention next time you head out to the clubs? Wearing one of these LED skirts will surely do the job. You can get your own DIY kit here and attach it to your favorite skirt.
The NorthSkirt is a wearable smart clothing/soft circuitry project. Using a hacked NorthPaw kit, my own home-made flexible PCBS and conductive thread, the skirt lights whichever row of LEDs is pointing north.

Here’s someone who used Arduino and a bluetooth module to create an e-mail alerting T-shirt that receives number of new e-mails you have via an Android phone. Very clever and great idea as you can easily convert it into something like an e-mail alerting box that could prove to be very useful for people who need to be constantly checking their e-mails. Best part is that the author has provided free source code. Brilliant idea.
And, he
For those of you have old T-shirts that you love but are worn out badly, you might want to consider joining them into one long sleeve shirt. This hack could also be great for making some long sleeve shirts for the cold, winter months.
Need felting is a timeless method of making fabric stick together. For those of you trying to make a conductive project such as a glove that can be used as an iPhone stylus, you might want to also learn how to mix wool and conductive thread as conductive threads are prone to breaking apart easily. Instructable here features also methods to measure resistance of your final conductive wool felt so you know how much current can go through and determine its conductivity right for your project.
Conductive fabric is a great tool f
Can you imagine if you could “tweet” and be able to make custom T-shirt designs? Well, that seems highly unlikely but that’s exactly a Japanese T-shirt company is doing now.
You will have to use the custom T-shirt making language which allows you to make patterns and move them anywhere you’d like.

Remember I told you about a website you can make your own custom dress shirts? Well, through Twitter I found another one, Blank Label does similar except you can do even more customizing such as different colors for cuffs, half the shirt, and even add your own brand labels.

Honestly, I haven’t done laundry for 2 years because my hard-working girlfriend has been doing it for me, we negotiate a deal where I’d blog to make a living while she helps me around the house more. Well, for those of you penny-pinchers who need to save even more money, you can learn how to make homemade laundry detergent.
Of course, I don’t know how well this homemade laundry detergent will do with colors and how clean your laundry will be but one thing for sure, you can try it yourself and let me know.
If you learn from my mistakes your results w
Do you have a lot of duct tape laying around your house and you need a new waterproof hoodie? Look no further, you can make yourself one of these awesome duct-tape hoodies all from about 120 yards of duct tape!
When first worn, this jacket is kind of stiff and pretty much a plastic tube. It keeps in a LOT of heat, and is great for wearing in the cold outside! It is also 100% waterproof, and can be used as a rain jacket. The more you wear it, the more more comfortable it gets. Unlucky for me, it is still hot here in the south, even at 5:00 am when I have to go catch the bus
