Hand-Sewn Tech Gear

Hanna Perner-Wilson Helps You Make Tech-Enhanced Clothing

Hanna Perner-Wilson is a fabric technologist. What is a fabric technologist? Let's just say it's a job that's a helluva lot better than sanitation technician. All you basically need to know is that Hanna Perner-Wilson has made it possible for you to sew your gadgets into your clothing. Pretty cool, right? Can we say walking Christmas decoration?

Anyway, the collection of pre-made, wearable tech items includes fabric push buttons, bend sensors and even a neoprene battery pack. Not bad at all! I am just wondering what the washing process is like.
