googfan sent us in his latest project. he has made a shirt with a circuit sewn in . it is crude and probably wont last long but the end product is pretty cool. you can see a stencil of the functioning circuit on the front of the shirt. he has threaded wire in along the circuit and attached the leds transistors capacitors and resistors on their individual symbols. the final product ......
