ElectroFashion, Cat Kit

Note: Although this product is no longer available, we do have a growing range of e-textiles/electron-fashion kits, components, and accessories here.

The ‘Electro-Fashion Cat’ is an ideal introduction to e-textiles. It should be possible for someone with basic sewing skills to make it successfully by following the instructions. When complete the cats eyes will light up when the right ear is squeezed.

This cat kit contains all the items you need to make the cat (except for a pair of scissors, a needle and pins for securing the felt when sewing).

To make the cat the felt is cut into four pieces following the lines. The LED eyes, battery holder and switch are sewn on to a piece of felt following the stitch lines. Finally the cat is sewn together and stuffed with wadding. Pop the battery in and when the cat’s ear is pressed the eyes will light.
